Build VGC teams by understanding roles, support, and shared game plans.

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.
