Frequently asked questions

Pokechampions Helper is a free tool for the Pokémon Champions team preview. It reads the rival team from a photo and tells you which four of your six to bring.

Can I upload a photo of the team preview instead of typing it?

Yes. Pokechampions Helper detects all 6 rival Pokémon from a single photo of the team preview screen in a few seconds. You can upload from desktop, or scan a QR code to send the photo from your phone to the desktop view instantly.

What is Pokechampions Helper?

A free web tool for Pokémon Champions VGC players. You upload a photo of the team preview (or pick the rival's Pokémon manually) and it returns a live 6v6 matchup matrix, recommends your 4 best leads and predicts which 4 the rival will pick.

How does it pick the best leads?

It computes net offensive vs defensive type coverage across all 36 pairings, applies ability immunities and priority bonuses, then ranks your 6 Pokémon by aggregate score. It also flags strategy cores on the rival side: sun, rain, Trick Room, Tailwind, Fake Out and redirection.

How is this different from ChampTeams, RotomPicks or Pikalytics?

Those tools require typing every rival Pokémon manually. Pokechampions Helper is the only Pokémon Champions tool that detects the rival team from a single photo of the team preview screen, so you get the matchup analysis within the 90-second preview window.

Is Pokechampions Helper free?

Yes, everything is free: photo detection, matchup analysis, lead recommendations and rival pick prediction. No account, no sign-up. Your teams are stored locally in your browser.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. It is a mobile-first progressive web app in Spanish and English. You can also pair your phone with your laptop via QR code: take the photo on the phone and the analysis appears on the desktop screen.
