Have you memorized every possible counter for every possible gym battle in Pokemon Go? If you answer is “no” (and it almost certainly is), you need to check out the incredibly simple and useful resource that is Poke Win.

As the name suggests, Poke Win will help you win any gym encounter by providing you with a list of Pokemon that can effectively take on any other Pokemon in the game. All you have to do is load up the site, tap on a Pokemon and a list of the best counters will appear on the screen, complete with the best moves for the battle.

Even better, you can change the CP of the Pokemon you’re trying to defeat and the site will adjust the minimum CP of all the counter Pokemon to reflect the change. For example, you only need a CP 854 Charizard to beat a CP 1500 Venasaur, but if you want to battle a CP 1500 Exeggutor, you’ll need a CP 1027 Charizard.

“In a gym battle, fighting a Pokémon with its counter type will increase your victory chances by 60%,” creator Shyrion explains. With that in mind, you can see why having a list like this loaded up in your browser could be a huge asset.

If you’re dedicated to capturing all of the gyms in your neighborhood, Poke Win should be the first site you visit before you get into your next battle.
