Question 2

How does the Pokémon Champions counter picker work?

Accepted Answer

PokeCounter scores each Pokémon in your team against the opponent using the complete 18-type effectiveness chart. It finds the optimal subset of 3 (for 1v1 singles) or 4 (for 2v2 doubles) that covers the most opponents super-effectively while avoiding mutual threats.

Does it support 1v1 and 2v2 battles?
