GETTING STARTED
Choose SciPocket tools by what you want to learn
Updated October 21, 2026
Start with what you want to learn rather than asking which pair is strongest. Finding a counter, comparing one move and planning three pairs’ actions are different questions. This guide shows how to carry one result into the next check.
1. Start with your question
| Your question | Start here |
|---|---|
| Which pairs have an effect? | Pair/grid search: find candidates by effects even without knowing names. |
| Can these panels be taken together? | The detail-page grid: check move level, paths and total energy. |
| What if a move’s conditions change? | The damage calculator: compare a single hit under matched training/grid settings. |
| Which combination reaches sync sooner? | Countdown optimization: inspect actions to sync and acceleration sources. |
| What can three pairs do within a deadline? | The team search: compare cumulative results with timing, grids and actions. |
2. Find a counter, then verify its grid
If you need a way to lower an opponent’s Speed, filter effects in the search tool, including grid descriptions. Appearing as a candidate does not establish that the effect is available at your training level; open the detail page next.
An AND search can match effects on separate panels. Select the needed panels on the grid and check connection paths, move level, energy and additional unlock requirements. Adding only the target panels’ individual energy costs does not prove that the build is possible.
For controls, use the grid search and planning walkthrough. The Legendary Adventure counter article provides an example with its event date and counting conditions.
3. Change one setting at a time
To compare move levels, align opponent settings, move, EX and grid policy. Automatic grids may select different panels after a level change. The resulting difference is then not caused solely by the move-level number; record the selected grids as well.
Use the damage calculator for a single move and the team search for setup and support actions. See how to interpret indices and comparison settings for the meaning of the numbers.
4. Try an article’s team under your conditions
Saved article links load three pairs, grids, conditions and actions. Read the original assumptions, change move levels and recalculate the trio. A shared trio is separate from your entire roster; missing pairs are not automatically replaced. Return to your own roster and search again when needed.
When sharing results, include the period, opponents, training, grids and whether the value is an index or damage estimate. Keep observed game scores separate from calculated values.
5. Check and report unexpected results
Check opponent count, starting sync buff, immunity rules, sync users, manual grids and field expiry. Unsupported effects or approximations can still cause differences. Read the result limitations and distinguish what was actually verified in play.
Use the Lab feedback form. Include the pair/move, calculation settings, expected behavior and actual behavior. Do not enter names, email addresses or passwords. The current form does not collect a reply address.
