How to create the best Pokemon team in Pokemon Showdown with teambuilder

Pokemon Showdown may seem a bit confusing at first, but it's easy to get the hang of it. One of the basic processes that we must learn is how to create the best Pokemon team in Pokemon Showdown with teambuilder So you can choose the members of your team, along with their movements and features, to face other trainers online.

If you have never entered the platform or are not registered, the teambuilder is on the left side of the screen"Teambuilder" translates to "team builder," which is what it's for. To create a team from 0 we must select “New Team” in the “All teams” submenu. Once there we can name our team at the top of the screen, although this is secondary. The important thing is to choose the format, which will determine the rules and creatures used, because if we select, for example, the 3rd generation, we will not be able to use Pokemon from the 4th generation.

Of course, at the beginning you will not have any Pokemon and the page itself will make fun of you saying: "you have no pokemon lol". To solve this, select "+Add Pokemon" and thus integrate the first member A list will open with all the available Pokemon of that format so that we can choose just one . Later we will repeat this process with the others until completing a team of 6 members.

Let's go back with the first chosen Pokemon.Once we select the desired creature, the first thing is to grant it an object. Pokemon Showdown shows you the most used items, but you can choose any. Later we will choose their ability, movements and finally, their EVs We can also modify their level, gender and color, by being able to choose whether or not it is Shiny. It is even possible to nickname him as we wish, but watch out for offensive language so as not to have problems.

Pokemon Showdown Teams to copy and paste

Next we will show Pokemon Showdown teams to copy and paste, or what is the same: already defined templates. It is important to note that the game is completely in English, so you will have to memorize the names. In any case, its language is basic and is based on movements of 2 words maximum, so it is easy to play in English. That being said, many users create teams so that you just have to copy and paste it to play with them.

The Pokemon community is cooperative and likes to share their best teams You can find more teams on the Smogon forum, as well as tactics and advice from other users. We show you 3 outstanding teams, but remember that in each generation the competitiveness of each Pokemon varies.

How to use the Team Calculator in Pokemon Showdown

Finally, we will solve how to use the Team Calculator in Pokemon Showdown, although for this we must clarify what the Team Calculator? The Team Calculator is a damage calculator to find out how much he alth and KO chances each move of a Pokemon has against another specific Pokemon. At first glance it is very complex, since it has several blocks that are divided into sections full of figures, but it is simpler than it seems.

The Pokemon Showdown Calculator is accessible via this link or with the "/calc" command in chat. The first thing is to differentiate between the generation block, which is located above the line, and the damage block itself. We must select the generation (by default choose the new one) and then the hypothetical contenders. We choose the movements of each one and with all the data of the Pokemon (EVs, objects, etc) we can already see how much damage it would cause. We have an overview, but we can also focus on each movement to learn more about its havoc in battle.
