Playthrough Planner
Plan your in-game team and see how it matches up against each gym leader, gym by gym.
Scores are based on type matchups — how your team's STAB types and defensive typing line up against each gym leader's specialty type and Elite Four members.

How the Playthrough Planner Works
Building a team blind and hitting a wall at the fourth gym is a rite of passage — but it does not have to be. This planner supports 9 game series from Red/Blue through Scarlet/Violet, and scores your team of up to 6 Pokemon against every gym leader and Elite Four member based on type matchups.
What the Tool Analyzes
- Gym Progression Chart: For each gym, the tool counts how many team members have STAB super-effective moves against the gym's type, and how many are weak to it. Battles are rated from Easy to Very Hard.
- Overall Team Score (0-100): Averages your matchup performance across all gym and E4 fights. A score of 50 means neutral; higher means your team has favorable coverage throughout.
- Offensive STAB Coverage: Shows which of the 18 types your team can hit super-effectively with same-type attack bonus moves.
- Defensive Weakness Stacking: Flags types that threaten 3 or more team members — a sign of a dangerous blind spot.
Pokemon are filtered by generation so you only see species actually available in your chosen game. The type weakness heatmap gives a complete 18-type defensive breakdown for your full team at a glance.
Note: Scoring is based on gym specialty types only. Individual leader teams, abilities, and coverage moves affect actual difficulty — full leader team data is planned for a future update.
