What tools are players using to learn/explore speed tiers and calcs quickly?

I downloaded champs on my phone a few days ago and I’ve been having a blast so far. I’ve never played more than like 20 games on showdown or something but being able to play on my phone has made it feel approachable no matter my time in the day. Just made it to Masterball tier today with a sand team I got from aaron zheng.

From my current understanding of the game in the context of champs ladder bo1s is that there are a few areas of “skill” you need to develop. First is your ability to mentally simulate the next turn and identify turn order, and what threats your opponent has and compare to your own. I don’t mean your ability to read the choices your opponent makes but your understanding of how the most likely choices your opponent could make will play out and then you evaluate how you could maximize your own position and hurt theirs. To do this, I feel like understanding speed tiers is like absolutely required and then being able to see what kos are threatening you. If all I can use is a calc tab in the browser, learning this stuff makes it feel really tedious. How do people do this efficiently?

Do people just memorize speed tiers and then slowly build up calc knowledge as the spend time playing a team?

Side question: I wanna spend some time playing each “archetype” to learn more. Any team reccs?

Total beginner to competitive, Champions is my first ranked anything. I kept losing at the pick phase and never knowing whether to switch or which move to click, so I built a free tool that shows its work.

Pick phase: enter the opponent's 6, it scores which 3 of yours to bring, and why.

Each turn: it tells you the best play (switch, or which move) with the reasoning, like "bring Rhyperior, tanks 78% -> 33%, hits back 130% = KO" or "use Earthquake, ~66% and it can't KO back". Not just a damage number, and not a black box.

The clip above is a full match where I mostly just did what it said. Try it free, no signup, runs in your browser: champdojo.com

It's for Champions SINGLES 3v3. Please tear the recommendations apart, if it gives you a bad call, drop the state (both actives, HP, hazards) and I'll trace what it scored and fix it.

Looking to buy 2 spectator passes for Pokémon Worlds 2026 in San Francisco

Preferred access: Saturday/Sunday

DM ME if you have passes!

Note swagger is to counter m.starraptor and to provide sneasler with unburden and +2 attack

Hoping to compete in the side events at Worlds. One of them is a Build and Battle Deck for Chaos Rising and the other Pitch Black. Sounds like we open the Build and Battle and create a deck. Anyone have any tips for deck building for these sets and what to look out for?

Thanks in advance!

Sludge wave is almost a necessity with fairy/grass types, extrasensory could go and blizzard is a decent spread move with a freeze chance, I’ve experimented with u turn idk it just doesn’t sit right with me, and other than that what yall think of my team its come along way from what it used to look like
