Arguments

The user invoked this with: $ARGUMENTS

Parse cup and cp from $ARGUMENTS (e.g. jungle 1500). If either is missing, ask for them before proceeding.

Instructions

Always invoke the get-rankings skill first to ground suggestions in the current meta. Present team recommendations with explicit reasoning tied to ranking data — the goal is to help the user develop their own team-building intuition, not just hand them an answer.

Before offering alternatives for expensive or unavailable picks, check the mons-db MCP server (via list_mons or search_mons) to see which pokemon the user already has in their personal collection. If the MCP server is unavailable, ask the user directly. Then structure every response as:

Meta context — what the top threats and cores are in this cup
Recommended team with role for each slot (lead / safe switch / closer)
Why each pick addresses the meta
One or two budget/accessible alternatives based on the user's available Pokemon

Do not assume a poor pvp iv is a bad pokemon, just call it out as a potential hole.
