About PokeTools

Built by trainers, for trainers.

What is PokeTools?

PokeTools is a free, open-access collection of 54 Pokemon calculators, planners, trackers, and reference tools covering every generation from Red & Blue through Scarlet & Violet. Whether you're building a competitive team for ranked ladder, planning a casual playthrough, breeding for perfect IVs, or just curious about type matchups — there's a tool for that.

Why we built it

Pokemon tools are scattered across dozens of sites, many outdated, most ugly on mobile, and few covering the full range of what trainers actually need. We wanted one place with every tool a trainer could want — from damage calculators to Nuzlocke trackers to contest optimizers — all with a modern, fast, mobile-friendly interface.

Every tool runs entirely in your browser. No accounts, no sign-ups, no server-side processing. Your data stays on your device. The site is built as a static export — pages load instantly because there's nothing to wait for.

The data

All Pokemon data — 1,025 species, 937 moves, 367 abilities, plus encounter tables, evolution chains, egg groups, and more — is pre-fetched from PokeAPI and stored locally. No API calls happen when you use the site. Supplemental data (gym leaders, shiny odds, contest mechanics) is manually curated from community sources like Bulbapedia and Serebii.

Our damage calculator uses the @smogon/calc library — the same engine behind Smogon's official calculator — ensuring frame-perfect accuracy across all 9 generations.

Tech stack

PokeTools is built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, exported as a fully static site. Computationally heavy tools (coverage solver, advanced search, playthrough planner) use WebAssembly compiled from C for near-native performance. The entire site is served through Cloudflare's CDN for fast load times worldwide.

Who made this?

PokeTools is created and maintained by SyphonFilter — a lifelong Pokemon fan and developer who got tired of switching between five different sites just to plan a team.
