How to Use the Pokémon Coverage Calculator
This tool helps you determine how effective your attacking moves are against a specific defending Pokémon, considering types and abilities.
- Select a Defending Pokémon – Choose the Pokémon you want to attack from the dropdown list. This sets its types and optional ability.
- Choose an Ability (optional) – Pick an ability that the defender may have (e.g., Levitate, Thick Fat). This modifies resistances or immunities.
- Select Attack Type 1 – Pick the type of your first attacking move (required).
- Select Attack Type 2 (optional) – Add a second attack type if you want to compare coverage.
- Click "Calculate Coverage" – The tool computes the effectiveness multiplier for each attack type and shows the best result.
What the results mean:
- 0x – No effect (immune).
- 0.25x–0.5x – Not very effective.
- 1x – Normal effectiveness.
- 2x – Super effective.
- 4x – Double super effective (both types weak).
Tip: The calculator uses standard Pokémon type chart multipliers and accounts for abilities that grant immunity or resistance (e.g., Levitate nullifies Ground moves). No additional metrics are needed—just select the options and calculate.

Frequently Asked Questions
The calculator uses the standard Pokémon type chart. Each attack type is multiplied against the defender's types. For example, Fire against Grass gives 2x, while Water against Grass gives 0.5x. The final effectiveness is the product of both multipliers.
Yes, you can select an ability from the dropdown. Abilities like Levitate grant immunity to Ground, and Thick Fat halves Fire and Ice damage. The calculator adjusts the effectiveness accordingly.
The calculator multiplies the effectiveness against each type. For example, a Fire/Flying Pokémon (like Charizard) takes 0.5x from Grass (resisted by Flying) and 1x from Fire (resisted by Fire), resulting in 0.5x overall.
The calculator includes all 18 types from the games. You can select up to two attack types to compare coverage.
