Pokémon Team Builder vs StarGuide

Pokémon Team Builder is a free browser tool for building a team of six, checking weaknesses, and calculating damage. Its Analysis tab uses selected movesets to flag shared weaknesses, unresisted types, and gaps in offensive coverage. The damage calculator reports sixteen-roll ranges and exact OHKO and 2HKO probabilities, with options for weather, terrain, stat stages, critical hits, screens, burn, and doubles spread damage. Users can configure abilities, items, natures, and moves, and tune EVs and IVs while calculated stats update.

Full move-level building and damage calculation support Generation 9 and National Dex. Planner pages for earlier mainline games use the relevant regional dex and type chart. Teams can be imported from or exported to Pokémon Showdown text, shared through links that rebuild the exact team, or downloaded as images. Saved teams stay in browser local storage and are not uploaded to the service’s servers. The site has no account requirement, paid tier, or ads. Its terms caution that mechanics and data may lag behind releases, so results are for planning rather than a guarantee.

StarGuide helps Honkai: Star Rail players plan teams, pulls, and account investments around their roster. Its recommendations cover Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, and Apocalyptic Shadow. Best Teams creates sets of strong teams without overlapping characters; players can lock characters, save favorite sets, and compare lineups. Pull Advisor estimates how adding a released character the player does not own could affect team strength. Players can bring in roster data by UID through Enka Network or upload a Reliquary Archiver SRO file. The free plan includes character guides, Best Teams, Pull Advisor, a Banner tab, LC Optimizer, investment paths, roster tools, and community features. Supporter adds Endgame Planner, Jade Strategy, Next Best Action, and Relic Insights; Trailblazer also includes Strategy Coach. StarGuide runs in desktop and mobile browsers, with local storage available without an account and cloud roster sync after sign-in. Free signed-in accounts can keep two rosters; completing a pass raises the cap to four. Passes are paid upfront and do not renew automatically.
