I have a couple suggestions that would make it easier for teambuilders.
Suggestion #1: Have a button where you can send a team straight to the top or the bottom of a folder / group. For example when you make a youtube playlist there's a "Move to top" & "move to bottom." This would make it easier since I end up having to make lots of folders to make sure no one folder is over ~50-70 teams otherwise im scrolling like crazy. I like to order teams within one folder a specific way or maybe I built a team that looked very similar to a team i built a month ago so i wanna put them side by side so i have to scroll all the way up. The real problem is when It's not in a folder for whatever reason and i have to drag the team through 900+ teams. It's also annoying when I'm dragging one team from one folder to another and now I might have to drag it a ton since it's kinda random where it shows up (I know it's not random but from the context of one folder to another, it is)
Suggestion #2: Have an advance search feature in the teambuilder. For example if I want to search for abilities that grant electric immunities, I would type "Volt Absorb" OR "Motor Drive" OR "Lightning Rod." Maybe you type one, then before typing the next you can input "or" then another category to stack, instead of having to type volt absorb, delete it, then now look at lightning rod list, and i might have forgot something. Right now the search feature function as a permanent "And" type search where the conditions stack (ex: wish + regenerator will only show mons that have both) but adding an or option can help with teambuilding a lot because building is often very dynamic where I'm looking for a 6th pokemon that "either has heal bell, or has wish, or healing wish" but not necessary all 3 in one pokemon.
Suggestion #3: This suggestion kind of builds on the previous suggestion, but I really wish that a thing you can search in the builder are tiers. For example you can search to filter search for "Heal Bell" and it will show mons that learn Heal Bell. However, I wish I can search "RarelyUsed" and get only RU mons. You can do that with all BL tiers but not the main tiers and I don't know why. The usefulness of this is that I can search "OU" and then order by a specific stat like speed or attack, that way I can see a very quick list of mons ordered by speed of only OU. Right now, if I sort by descending speed, I will get a bunch of random mons like Ninjask and Electrode. Stuff that I do not want to see when building for OU.
Suggestion #4: Be able to order folders without having it being necessarily alphabetical order. I end up having to have weird names for folders since I want them to be ordered in a certain way. If I can drag them like you can do with teams would be really nice. Same thing with tier folders, it's very mildly annoying to see LC and NU over OU for example.
Suggestion #5: the search feature in the builder (the one at the very top of the entire teambuilder) doesn't account for forms as far as I know. In ORAS, if I type in "Keldeo" I will only get teams that have "Keldeo" but not "Keldeo-Resolute" even though they are practically the same thing, so I end up not getting a bunch of teams that were supposed to be part of the search. If I want to look up common keldeo builds / archetypes I end up missing a lot of important data or having to do it twice instead of once. Since you also include a lot of teams that are not yours you don't have much control over it. I can't type "Keldeo, Keldeo-resolute" as no team has both. Having an OR search function would solve that. But maybe a simpler solution is having the base form show both base form and alternate forms. Alternate forms can be specifically search for, and then maybe add a way to search base form only. I'm not really sure how a fix like this would exactly happen but I think for forms as insignificant as Keldeo / Keldeo-Resolute it's really a shame.
Suggestion #6: It would be kinda cool to have the # of teams next to the folder. Right now It's only next to automatic folders like "OU" under Gen 6, I will see I have 900 teams about. But I wish I can go to that "6(T1)" folder that I manually created and see how many teams are in that folder instantly instead of counting it.
Most of these are QoL changes, so sorry if they're not too significant. PS has been absolutely amazing and I keep discovering features that I think are really cool. Ya'll are doing a fantastic job
