Tera Raid Builder - a planning tool for Tera Raids​

The Tera Raid Builder is a web tool geared toward creating strategies for Tera Raid battles based off of the Pokémon Showdown Damage Calculator. It shines when coming up with one-hit KO strategies for coordinated group raids, but it can be helpful when planning solo raids, too!

​

Notable Features

Raid Simulation​

• Damage calculations via @smogon/calc, with some modifications for Tera raids
• Incorporation of stat boosts, ailments, and field effects from moves and items
• Correct interactions for (most) items, abilities, moves, statuses, immunities, and field conditions

User Interface​

• Import/Export builds in a format compatible with PokePastes or the Showdown Damage Calculator
• Automatic filtering of learnable moves and possible abilities for each species
• View damage, status effects, and stat level changes across turns
• Display stats and EVs in radar plots
• Translate Pokémon, moves, items, abilities, natures, and stats into any of 9 officially supported languages
• Search for Pokémon by types, abilities, moves, stats, or a combination of filters

Sharing​

• Save and share strategies via the URL hash, with strategy information stored in a Cloud Firestore database
• Save notes and credits with strategies
• Generate infographics for showcasing a strategy

Here are links to a few example strategies (with various authors) that show off some fun interactions that can happen in Tera raids:

• The double-Symbiosis strategy pictured above
• An approach for the Primarina event that takes advantage of stacking Steely Spirit boosts.
• An Intimidate + Skill Swap + Competitive strategy used in the Hisuian Samurott event
• A strategy that abuses the interaction between Sturdy and Oran Berries at level 1
• A Stockpile + Spit Up strategy for the 7-star Eevee event
• A crazy 3-turn Rage Fist plan for the Mewtwo event

This tool is so well made and looks really good too! I especially love the sticker effect, such a cool touch.
I'm really impressed that you have translations for 9 different languages! I would love to be able to provide more translations for Showdex, as we only have French currently. Would it be cool if we used your translations? We would give credit of course :)

Sure thing! I should note (and add to the page's acknowledgements) that the vast majority of the translations were taken from PokéAPI, so there's no need to credit the TRB team specifically. For the TRB, translated terms are just stored here in .json files with the English words as keys, so although this is pretty inefficient, it should be easy to parse and reformat things however you'd like.

Awesome, thank you! Super helpful for sure.
