How to Get More Reliable Teams from Poké Team Builder

The AI behind Poké Team Builder can generate powerful teams, but clear instructions lead to better results. Here are some ways to improve your prompts:

  • Specify the format and playstyle. Mention whether you want OU, VGC, or a casual format, and note if you're looking for offense, stall, or balance.
  • Call out any Pokémon you want to include (or exclude) up front.
  • Ask for synergy and request the AI to avoid move or item conflicts. For example: "Make sure no Pokémon has moves it can't use with its held item."
  • Review the output. If you see contradictions—like Choice Specs with setup moves—ask the builder to adjust that set or to suggest alternatives.

You can also mention any other rules you care about, such as avoiding duplicate items or ensuring abilities work with the chosen moves. The clearer your initial prompt, the less tweaking you'll need afterward.

Iterative Refinement

For deeper customization, paste your current team into the prompt and ask for improvements or fixes. The model can suggest better spreads, items, or roles while keeping your core intact.

Whenever you regenerate, double-check the resulting sets for legality and synergy before taking them into battle.
