Type coverage calculator with recommendations?

Reworking some of my pre-built teams as they include some necessary options for full type coverage, but ultimately undesirable ones from a personal stance. Is there a calculator of some sort out there that I can input my teams into, then see an actual list of recommended Pokemon that can cover their defensive weaknesses, as opposed to tracking them down manually?

Doing a Violet run with pokemon I have never used before.

So I’ve started crafting a team already but I’m more than willing to make some changes. My current team sitting at the mid 20s now are:

Quaxwell Snom Lycanroc (Dusk) Capsakid Wattrel Clefairy

I would like to keep my starter on the team, and would really like to try snom/frosmoth because I’ve never used a bug type before, any suggestions for replacements; as well as moves, and items are greatly appreciated.

Pokemon Legends Arceus

Hi Reddit!

I have recently started playing Legends Arceus. Really stuck and confused as to which pokemon should I add to my team. Feel free to suggest bearing in mind I don’t like to have overlapping types in my teams.

What is my team’s weakness(es)? What changes would you make?

Playing Brilliant Diamond on the Switch. I'm a couple gyms into the game and want to make sure the team I've picked is worth grinding.

My team:

Torterra Staraptor Pikachu Haunter Kadabra Gyarados

Any hints/tips or tweaks to my team? I like using iconic Pokemon, but also want a strong team. TIA

Family tournament. Mono type, one legendary, one Pokemon outside of the mono type

Siblings and I are getting together soon so we're gonna have a small tournament.

Rules: one typing, one legendary of that young, one wildcard.

I picked ghost as my typing, recently saw shiny lunala when we were getting the idea for the tournament so that's how I decided 😅, I do see i have a scary dark weakness so I'm wondering if I would make changes.

So far looking to go with toxapex as my wildcard. Honestly can't remember how I reached this idea 😂 I wanted to start by setting up hazards so I guess my first thought was toxapex for toxic spikes. Then have hex on a few of my ghosts and go crazy.

So now I'm second guessing myself, should I change my wildcard to a better hazard setter or further the hazards and put in a bug or fairy to counter dark types? Or use a better hazard setter and take out one of my choices to add a ghost/fairy or ghost/bug?

Pokemon Shining Pearl Team

My team currently consists of:

  • Infernape
  • Roserade
  • Staraptor
  • Floatzel
  • Mismagius

I'm not really sure what to put in the last spot, I know I'm a bit weak to psychic/Ice/Electric/Flying but not sure what pokemon should get the last spot to make it as all rounded as possible, all suggestions welcome, I like trying to use slightly obscure options or ones I don't instantly go to (I normally always pick the grass starter cause it makes the game a bit harder and more fun, so this is a new one for me)

Postgame Singles Team

Any help would be appreciated! I was thinking maybe an Ice Type to feed off Glowking’s Chilly Reception and give me another Dragon answer, but any advice on the team as a whole would help.

Help building a Sableye competitive team? (SV/VGC Doubles Reg H)

Hello! I'm a bit of a noob to competitive Pokemon, and as such, I'm not too sure about how to build things! I've been inspired to try and play a Sableye team using Light Screen, Reflect, Disable and Encore, but I'm a little unsure of how to build them or who to use alongside Sableye. (Just a sidenote, I know this strategy wouldn't be good, but I hate using meta stuff in games, and I like to win using Pokemon I like rather than good ones, eg: Sableye)

I feel like Amoongus and Dragonite would be pretty safe bets, but previous teams have used multiple Paradox Pokemon, which we now don't have access to in the current format, so I'm a little stumped. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

This is a new Ubers doubles team I made. Thoughts?

The plan is, ya wanna lead groudon and incinaroar, parting shot with incinaroar and go skeledurge. Then you can start racking up torch songs until it snowballs outta control. Flutter Mane, Umbreon, and Liligant are there for backup. Especially liligant, cause she got chlorophyll.

Should I add something? Should I edit it?

Golbat - Aerial Ace, Crunch, Toxic, Hypnosis

I'm just trying to get a team that can make it through kanto nothing minmaxed for pvp, I would prefer that no moves repeat on different pokemon and that they play kind of how my build for them would. Any suggestions or changes you guys would make for the team?
