About the Forge

Battle preparation built for Pokémon GO trainers.

Go Battle Forge is an independent fan project focused on fast, useful battle simulations that explain not only which team to use, but why it works.

What we build

Our first live tool, Shadow Battle Lab, evaluates every current Team GO Rocket lineup possibility and ranks complete counter teams. Future labs will expand the same clear, mobile-first approach to other Pokémon GO battle formats, including Max Battles.

What makes the tools useful

Recommendations include modeled scenario wins, moves, battle speed, survival, matchup responsibility, Mega and Primal options, and replacements for Pokémon a trainer does not own. Simulations run in the visitor's browser and do not require Pokémon GO account access.

Independence and corrections

Go Battle Forge is not affiliated with Niantic, Nintendo, Creatures, or The Pokémon Company. We aim to label assumptions clearly, refresh changing game data, and correct discrepancies when live results or source data expose them. Read the full simulation methodology.
