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
Shadow Battle Lab evaluates the listed Team GO Rocket lineup possibilities and ranks complete counter teams. Max Battle Lab compares tank and damage roles for Dynamax and Gigantamax bosses. Our battle guides explain how to use those results when choosing moves and spending resources.
What makes the tools useful
Recommendations include the lineups a team beats in the simulation, recommended moves, battle time, HP remaining, each counter’s role, 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.
Help us correct a result
Send questions and corrections through the Go Battle Forge Ko-fi page. Include the page, encounter or Pokémon, selected settings, displayed result, and the difference you observed. Please do not send game credentials or private account information.
Our editorial policy explains the distinction between source data, simulation assumptions, and illustrative examples.
