How to build a good Yellow team

Cover the game's key threats: pick around six Pokémon whose combined types resist what hits your starter hardest, and make sure at least one member hits each common type super-effectively. Our team building guide walks through the whole method.

Testing movesets and damage

The full team builder uses Generation 9 mechanics for move-level configuration and damage calculation. For older games like Yellow, use it for planning; exact damage numbers can differ across generations.
