Pokemon Type Coverage Calculator

How to use the type coverage calculator

In Attack coverage, pick the types of your damaging moves. The calculator shows the best multiplier you reach against every single type, counts how many Pokemon in the Champions roster you hit super effectively, and lists the Pokemon that resist or are immune to everything you picked. Those are the switch-ins your opponent will use.

In Team weaknesses, set the typing of up to six Pokemon. The table shows how each one takes every attacking type, and highlights the types that three or more of your Pokemon are weak to. Rows outlined in red have no resist at all.

Rows are the attacking type, columns are the defending type. 2 means super effective, ½ not very effective, 0 no effect, blank neutral.

Best two type coverage pairs

The attacking type pairs that hit the most Pokemon in the Champions roster (351 picks) super effectively, counted per Pokemon including Megas.

Team type coverage: offense vs defense

Coverage is about your moves; defensive typing is about your Pokemon. A team can have great coverage and still fold to one attacking type if half of it is weak to that type. Check both: pick moves that hit what walls you, and pair Pokemon whose weaknesses the partner resists, such as a Fire type next to a Water type, or a Steel type next to a Fairy type.

For doubles, also think about the spread moves you will face most. Earthquake, Rock Slide, Heat Wave and Dazzling Gleam hit both of your Pokemon, so a lead where both are weak to the same spread move is a liability. The team builder runs this check on your real team with abilities included, and the damage calculator shows how much a super effective hit actually does.
