Team Building Tips
1Balance Your Roles
A well-rounded team needs a mix of attackers, tanks, and utility Pokemon. Don't stack too many of one role.
2Consider Speed Tiers
Speedsters can sweep weakened teams, but they're fragile. Pair them with tanks that can absorb hits.
3Physical vs Special
Mix physical and special attackers to handle opponents with unbalanced defenses.
4Know Your Win Condition
Identify which Pokemon is your sweeper and build your team to support their success.
