Plan a hypothetical support team
Only enabled normal slots count. Reducing capacity clears the removed selections. This local type-only plan does not prove you will encounter or capture the required species. It neither reads your account nor changes the main planner’s fixed panel.
Compare all 18 first-type support bonuses
| Support first type | One normal support, no Poké Doll |
|---|---|
| Normal | +10% PokéDollars |
| Fire | +15% status damage |
| Water | +15% healing |
| Grass | +0.5 HP/s regen |
| Electric | +5% atk. speed |
| Ice | +10% duration |
| Fighting | +10% damage to elites |
| Poison | +12% status chance |
| Ground | +4 armor |
| Flying | +5% speed |
| Psychic | +8% experience |
| Bug | +1 pickup range |
| Rock | +15 max HP |
| Ghost | +3% evasion |
| Dragon | +5% damage |
| Dark | +4% crit chance |
| Steel | +8% area |
| Fairy | +8 luck |
The source applies a support’s first type, not both types. A shiny doubles that type’s contribution. Poké Doll scales it by 1 + 0.5 × copies; two copies mean 2×, not 2.25×. Positive percentage bonuses in the shared support group add their increments. Flat bonuses add.
[1]Keep support capture and League capture separate
- Find and weaken an Alpha in the actual run.
- Use the support/Friend Ball interaction shown by the game; the support is for this run.
- If the normal team is full, decide which support to release before assuming the capture adds a free slot.
- Recheck capacity when selling S.S. Ticket. The source trims normal supports when the team exceeds the new cap.
A support Alpha does not permanently unlock its League partner. Legendary League membership and shiny capture have their own .63 rules.
[1]Choose the support item for the problem
| Choice | Checked effect | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Support team | 2 → 3 normal slots | Permanent Lab capacity; compare its 2,975 cost with your other targets. |
| S.S. Ticket | +1 normal slot this run | More capacity is useful only if you can fill it; selling may force a release. |
| Poké Doll | +50% of support passive contribution per copy | Choose the first-type bonus you actually need. |
| Lemonade | Support damage factor 1 + .25n; attack-rate factor 1 + .15n | This does not increase the first-type passive. The tool omits bond, level, stage, defenses and actual attack timing. |
