Looking to build the ultimate Pokémon team? IGN’s Pokémon Planner is here to help! This free online tool allows you to create and customize teams for any Pokémon game, from the classics to the latest releases. Here’s a breakdown of how to use it:
Getting Started
First, select the Pokémon game you’re planning for. We’ve ensured that only the pokémon present in each game’s Pokédex will appear. This means that, as long as you’ve selected the correct game, you won’t run into any unavailable Pokémon. Just remember that if you’re building a team for a version title, such as Pokémon Scarlet, you will need to keep an eye out for any version exclusive Pokémon.
There are three main ways you can search for Pokémon – simply scrolling down the list, searching by name or filtering by type. It’s possible to select multiple types too, which is handy if you’re looking for a dual type Pokémon.Selecting the ‘Mega Pokémon’ option will also allow you to just see the Mega Pokémon present in your chosen game. Though, keep in mind that Mega Pokémon are only available in select Pokémon games.
As all of the Pokémon in your chosen game are available – including pre-evolved Mons, Legendary and Mythical Pokémon – you’re free to input whichever Pokémon you like. This could be your current team, your endgame goal or Pokémon you’re considering adding. No matter what you choose, I recommend adding six Pokémon so you’ve got a whole team to play with.
after selecting all of the pokémon you either have or want in your team,it’s time to start filling in the details for each one. This includes adding their moves, stats and any item they might be holding. Let’s start with stats.
Adding Stats
The Stats section for each Pokémon can be found on the left-hand side of the Planner and will always display the Base Stats for each Pokémon. You’re also able to add its current Stats, including EVs and IVs.
The first step in adding your Pokémon’s Stats is to choose its Level. The Pokémon Planner selects each Pokémon’s Level to 100 by default, which is handy for organizing an endgame team.
If, however, you want to enter a Pokémon’s current level, you can do so by either selecting the number ‘100’ and changing it or by moving the blue slider beneath said number. Changing a Pokémon’s Level from 100 will automatically change all of its current Stats – found at the bottom of this section – to make the Level you’ve chosen.
Level Up Your team Building with IGN’s Pokémon Planner
IGN’s Pokémon Planner is here to help you build the perfect team for your next adventure! This guide will walk you through the basics of using the planner,from adding Pokémon and moves to equipping them with essential items.
adding Pokémon to Your Team
To start, simply select the ‘Add Pokémon’ button. This will bring up a thorough list of every Pokémon available in the game you’ve selected. You can scroll through the list alphabetically or use the search bar to quickly find the Pokémon you want.
!Pokémon Planner – Adding Pokémon
Once you’ve found your desired Pokémon, click on it to add it to your team. You can add up to six Pokémon, mirroring the standard battle team size.
Teaching Your Pokémon Moves
With your Pokémon added, it’s time to teach them moves! Select the Pokémon you want to train, and then click the ‘Add Move’ button. This will open a list of all the moves that Pokémon can learn in the game.
!Pokémon Planner – Adding Moves
Just like with Pokémon, you can scroll or search for the moves you want. Click on a move to add it to your Pokémon’s moveset.
Remember – each Pokémon can only know four moves at a time and we’ve kept to this rule in the Pokémon Planner. If you want to remove a move, hover your cursor over it and select the ‘Change’ option.

Adding Items
To add an item, select ‘Add Item’. This will bring up a list of every item available in the game you’re building a team for. You can either scroll through the list or search for the one you’re looking for.
!Pokémon Planner – Adding Items
Once you’ve found the correct item, simply click on it and it shall be added to your Pokémon!
Now you just need to repeat this process for all of the other Pokémon in your team.
To save a team, first give it a name by entering something into the box containing the words ‘Name your Team’. Once you’re happy, select ‘Save Current team’. This will automatically save your team into the folder you’ve currently got selected.
After saving a team, you’ll be able to change its name, make a copy or delete it by using the options found on the right hand side. You can also move a team to a new folder by dragging and dropping it.
The EV and IV for every individual Pokémon are considered Hidden Stats.This is because, while you’re able to get an idea of what they are, you’ll never be able to see the exact number for each one.
It’s also worth noting that Gen 3 changed how EVs and IVs worked. The following clarification follows those rules, so will not be applicable for the Gen 1 and Gen 2 games.
EVs – Effort Value – corresponds to each of the six main stats. Each Pokémon has a total amount of 510 EVs divided across these stats, with the maximum one stat can have being 252 EVs. Depending on the game, various items, such as Vitamins, Berries or Feathers, can be used to train or deplete an EV. Depending on the game, you should be able to view a Pokémon’s EVs on the Stat page of their summary.Just keep in mind that you won’t be able to use the exact value.
