Hello Smogon! Introducing the SmogDex Teambuilder which was just fully completed recently. It's a teambuilder which allows you to pick movesets straight from Smogon analyses and form your team. Creating a thread here because most people don't visit the Projects forum haha. (There's quite a bunch of cool stuff there like TIBot so you might want to visit that forum once in a while :p)

This should be a useful tool for many players who like to refer to Smogon analyses when building teams :) Note that you can still modify the moveset however you want even after picking the movesets. I'll explain what this teambuilder has and how it works below.

How it Works

There's a Help section in the teambuilder but I'll explain here as well haha. Pick a Pokemon that you want to use. Pick a tier from which you want the moveset to be from; the default tier would be the default analysis you see for that Pokemon. For example, if you pick Bronzong, the default tier would be Underused. You can change the tier tab to Overused or any other tier which there is an analysis for and pick the moveset. After that, pick a moveset you want to use. You can opt not to use any moveset and build the Pokemon manually by yourself like you would on any other teambuilder. If you picked a moveset, the remaining options will be filled in automatically. If there are multiple options in the moveset, the teambuilder will use the first option and put the other options on top as well. For example, if a move is slashed like Hidden Power Grass / Hidden Power Ice, it'll pick Hidden Power Grass as the first option and put Hidden Power Ice as the second option. To differentiate options that are in the moveset from the other options, they are separated by a blank field. Note that the teambuilder currently does not tell you if a move is illegal on the Pokemon. Just repeat for the remaining Pokemon and go to the Exporter tab and hit Export! You can export even without a full team. A Pokemon must have at least an ability chosen and a move in order to be exported (you should fill in everything anyway ?_? haha).

Features

Aside from using movesets from analyses, there are a couple of other handy features. At the bottom left, there's a button that leads you the the analyses of the Pokemon you have chosen. If you've chosen a set, it'll bring you straight to the set as well. It opens the analysis in a new tab, so don't worry about losing your changes. If no Pokemon is chosen, it'll open up /bw/pokemon/. If the Pokemon has Hidden Power as one of its moves in the moveset, it will automatically provide you with the default IVs if the analysis does not specify IVs. For example, if you pick the Chlorophyll Sweeper set from Venusaur, it'll just use the IVs from the analysis. If you pick Life Orb Moltres for instance, it'll give you the IVs for Hidden Power Grass automatically. Also, when you choose a Hidden Power, it'll automatically alter the IVs for you as well. When Trick Room or Gyro Ball is a move on the Pokemon, its Speed IV will be lowered to 0 or to a number that gives the Hidden Power type you're using. Note that you might still want to use 0 Speed IVs for certain Pokemon even though it lowers the Base Power of Hidden Power and you'll have to manually change that. The boosting and reducing effects of natures are shown by highlighting the stats in green and red. The Levels of LC and VGC Pokemon are also automatically changed too.

What it doesn't do

You cannot change the positions of Pokemon unlike in Pokemon Showdown's teambuilder. It also doesn't tell you which moves are illegal as mentioned previously. The export might not work for Pokemon Online though; it was made with Pokemon Showdown in mind haha.

That's about all there is to know about this teambuilder! :) If you have further questions, feel free to ask in this thread. If wish to report a bug or have suggestions, please refer to this thread. I hope you'll enjoy using this teambuilder :)

Special Thanks

To Toast++ for giving advice and helping with debugging etc :) To Oglemi and other people for their support and to everyone who have given me inputs :)
 
I've made the export PO friendly. It doesn't export Level and IVs if you're exporting to PO and Hidden Power [Type] instead of Hidden Power Type :)
