More themes to try yourself
- Kanto starters only: the three starter lines plus Pikachu and Eevee lines. Not enough for 22, so allow one Pokémon per other type to fill out.
- Gym leader squads: only Pokémon used by Kanto gym leaders.
- Unevolved rookies: first-stage Pokémon only. Expect low ratings and big laughs.
- Pokédex order: use the Type Draft in the 151 Challenge for a random twist.

FAQ
What are good All 22 Pokemon team ideas?
▶
Try a mono-type squad (all Water, all Poison, all Normal), a Ground, Rock and Fighting wall, or a team of your childhood favorites. Themes make lineups more fun to share and compare.
Which single type makes the best All 22 team?
▶
Of the mono-type examples here, All-Water rates highest because Gen 1 has so many Water-type Pokémon that every position has a reasonable fit. The mixed Ground, Rock and Fighting wall rates even higher thanks to its huge linemen.
Do mono-type teams lose the type bonus?
▶
Mostly yes. The bonus counts every type on the roster, including second types, so a mono-type team usually earns only a point or two. That is part of the challenge.
How do I share my own themed team?
▶
Build it in the free builder, then copy the link or download the share image. The whole lineup is saved in the URL.
Are these submitted by players?
▶
No. They are example teams generated by our rating formula and labeled as examples.
Pokemon All 22 is a free fan-made project, not affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures or The Pokémon Company. Example teams are generated by our own rating formula and are labeled as examples; they are not real user submissions.
