Both play the same 200 sets of spins against the game's own opponents. How we tested
Following the solver went 16-0 13× as often. Every rating comes from the game's own formulas: we recomputed all 21 teams on this week's ranked board and match the game's OVR exactly.
16-0 Solver
Start a run in Poké Hoops, press Spin, then tap the same generation here and the six Pokémon it offered.
Example, not your run: a real round 2, solved. Gen VII spin, Tyrantrum already at PF, all rerolls left.
Ribombee is 0'8", so at point guard it adds +3.5 chemistry, and centers rated 85+ are easy to find later (31 of them) while 85+ point guards are not (7).

What 16-0 takes
One game is a weighted coin: your chance is 1 / (1 + e−gap/3.2), where the gap is your team OVR minus theirs, plus type edges. Opponents are built to a target that rises every round: 74 in the Play-In, then 78, 80, 82 and 84 in the Finals. A perfect run is the Play-In win and then four 4-0 sweeps, so even an 88 OVR team sweeps the Finals only 37% of the time.

Landed on a generation? Every Pokémon it can offer
Each spin draws one of nine generations and offers six of its Pokémon you haven't drafted. Each page lists the whole pool rated at all five positions, and the best five you could build from it.
Highest ratings at each position
Non-Legendary only, since a Legendary shows up in about 1 spin in 17. Ultra Beasts and Paradox Pokémon count as regular Pokémon in Poké Hoops, which is why Pheromosa, Dragapult and Flutter Mane lead the guards. Guards and forwards rated 85+ are rare (7 at PG, 9 at SG, 6 at SF); bigs are not (31 at PF, 31 at C).
