Using type matchups in real games

The type chart explains damage multipliers, but the strategic value comes from turning those multipliers into switching, targeting, and team-building decisions. A super effective attack is useful only if the user can reach the turn safely, and a resistance is useful only if the Pokemon can still threaten, support, or pivot afterward.

Data source and calculation logic

The page uses the local 18-type matchup chart. Selecting one or two defensive types multiplies the incoming attack effectiveness for each attacking type, so a dual type can create a 4x weakness, a 0.25x resistance, a neutral result from weakness plus resistance, or an immunity where the matchup rules allow it.

How to use it

• Select the defender's current type combination to identify weaknesses, resistances, and immunities.
• Use offensive coverage checks to see which attacking types pressure common defensive cores.
• Use defensive checks to find safe switch-ins, pivots, and partners that cover shared weaknesses.
• When a team has repeated weaknesses, add a resistance, immunity, redirection option, or speed-control plan before adding more damage.

Practical applications

On offense, type coverage helps you avoid being walled by one common type combination. On defense, it helps you build a rotation where one Pokemon's weakness is covered by another Pokemon's resistance or immunity. In doubles, the partner matters as much as the target: a Pokemon weak to Ground may still function if its partner threatens the Ground attacker, redirects the hit, or creates a speed advantage.

Terastallization and type-changing effects should be treated as a new board state. A defensive Tera can remove a double weakness, but it can also remove useful resistances. A switching plan should consider both the original type and the likely changed type so the team does not rely on one fragile answer.

Common mistakes

• Assuming super effective coverage is enough without checking accuracy, speed, and damage range.
• Ignoring double weaknesses because the Pokemon has good base defenses.
• Overvaluing a resistance when the Pokemon cannot recover momentum afterward.
• Changing type defensively and accidentally losing a key immunity or resistance.
• Building six Pokemon that all invite the same attacking type.

Next step

After identifying a weak point, open Team Builder to see whether the full team shares the same issue, then use Damage Calculator to confirm whether a resisted hit is actually survivable.
