### 1/5 — Short selection of moves

*2026-06-30, version 2.3.3*

Why isn’t every move every pokemon learns in here? Each mon only has 10 moves to choose from. I couldn’t even make my team because I want air cutter on Mega Dragonite and dragon cheer on Dragapult but I couldn’t put either of those moves on those pokemon. Why?

### 5/5 — Missing Mega Raichu-X

*2026-06-28, version 2.3.3*

Hi. Please consider adding a set for mega raichu x. There is no option for this. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Missing some things

*2026-06-22*

Missing the ability to choose any pokemon and any ability/moveset/item on any Pokemon, thats in the regulations other then that perfectly helped me build my mega mawhile team, i really like mawhile

### 1/5 — Slow to update!!

*2026-06-21, version 2.3.2*

I’m so upset I bought this. It’s not quite up to date for Champions and limits what skills I can add. For example I added Volcarona and could not add quiver dance. The heck?? I’m literally using quiver dance on my volcarona in the current regulations (MB)

### 1/5 — Missing pokemon

*2026-06-21, version 2.3.2*

It’s fine if you want to build a team like everyone else, but if you want to think outside the box it’s missing pokemon that are in the game. Off the bat, it’s champions reg m-b is missing noivern, beedrill, chimecho, luxray, roserade,and leafeon. I understand that these pokemon aren’t used a lot but a team builder should have every pokemon you can use, otherwise it’s inherently limiting and flawed.

### 3/5 — Delay to update

*2026-06-21*

Why is the desktop version (which is free) is more update than the mobile app version?

### 5/5 — So Simple, So Clean, So Effective

*2026-06-09, version 2.3.0*

Call me Wolfe Glicke I’ll be a champion in no time

### 3/5 — Good but could be better

*2026-06-04, version 2.3.0*

It’s a fine enough app, but the team builder is kind of jankie. Does not let you add in lower tier pics and restricts what moves you can add to only the most used. Also struggles with VoiceOver accessibility, which I am locked into due to my visual impairment.

### 5/5 — Best app for champions help

*2026-06-03, version 2.3.0*

This last update was incredible adding a builder, speed tiers, damage calculator, tests for speed tiers and super effective moves. 100% my new favorite app for help on champions!

### 4/5 — Love it, However

*2026-05-27*

Sometimes it feels a small bit laggy, which is mostly fine but when I'm rushing to check speed tiers in the middle of a match it can be stressful. Also the teambuilder aspect feels lacking relative to the free web version I'm used to, which I still use sometimes. Regardless of this, I do not regret my 99 cent purchase of this app.
