Build VGC teams by understanding roles, support, and shared game plans.
Team Lab helps players connect battle plans to team slots. Instead of memorizing six Pokemon, players learn how attackers, support pieces, speed control, and utility fit together.
Team roles
Archetypes
Synergy
This mode will teach you:
- how to build a rain team for VGC
- how to build a sun team for VGC
- how rain and sun teams slot attackers vs support
- how Trick Room teams fill six slots
- how perish trap / Perish Song ideas work in doubles
- offense vs support: who gets the second slot
- how to keep a plan B when weather gets flipped
What This Mode Trains
- Understand what role each team slot is meant to play.
- Build around a primary plan and a backup plan that still functions.
- See how support, offense, and utility interact inside an actual VGC composition.
Why It Matters in VGC
- Many players can copy teams but cannot explain why the slots work together.
- Role clarity leads to cleaner preview choices and more consistent play.
- This mode turns vague team ideas into functional structures.
Example
Rain is not only 
Pelipper plus Water damage. It also needs speed support, board control, and ways to keep functioning when weather is removed.
Common Questions
Is this a full team builder?
It is more of a planning and learning tool than a full export-oriented builder.
Does it help if I already use rental teams?
Yes. It helps you understand what those teams are trying to do.
