Pokemon Move Coverage Calculator for Type Matchups
Choose the attacking types you expect to use and see how well they cover every standard defending type. This Pokemon move coverage calculator is an offensive planning tool: it highlights super-effective targets, shows the strongest option when a type is resisted, and makes gaps in a Pokemon team or moveset easier to spot.

3 / 6 selectedSelect the move types you want to compare. The calculator uses the best available multiplier for each defending type, so you can test a single move, a Pokemon moveset, or a broader team coverage plan.

How to use this Pokemon coverage calculator
1. Start with the attacks
Select the type of each move or attacking option you want to compare. If you are checking one Pokemon, begin with its likely STAB types and add the coverage moves you are considering.
2. Keep the list realistic
One to three types gives a focused answer. You can select up to six for a team-wide planning pass, but selecting every type can hide the practical tradeoff between coverage and a usable moveset.
3. Read the strongest option
Each row chooses the highest standard multiplier among your selected types. A 2x row is a super-effective target; a 1x row is neutral at best; a value below 1x means the selected attacks are all resisted or ineffective.
4. Fix the gaps
Look for important types marked neutral or resisted. Add a move type only when it improves a real gap and fits the Pokemon, role, game rules, and team plan you are using.
What a Pokemon Move Coverage Calculator Measures
A Pokemon move coverage calculator answers an offensive question: “Which defending types can my selected attacks hit well?” It is different from a Pokemon weakness calculator, which answers the defensive question: “Which attacking types threaten this Pokemon or team?” Keeping those two directions separate prevents a common mistake when reading a type chart.
This tool checks the standard modern main-series type relationships for all 18 types. For each defending type, it compares every selected attacking type and keeps the strongest result. For example, with Fire, Water, and Electric selected, Grass has a 2x option from Fire even though Water and Electric are not super effective. Dragon has no super-effective option in that sample: Fire, Water, and Electric are each resisted at 0.5x.
| Result | Meaning | Planning use |
|---|---|---|
| 2x | At least one selected type is super effective. | Covered target; check whether the move is actually available. |
| 1x | The best selected attack is neutral. | Not a type advantage, but the matchup is not blocked by resistance. |
| 0.5x | The selected attacks are resisted by the defending type. | Potential coverage gap; consider a complementary move type. |
| 0x | The selected attacks have no effect. | Hard gap under the chart; investigate immunities before choosing moves. |
Use the result in two passes. First, scan the super-effective rows to see whether your planned attacks reach the targets you expect. Then scan the resisted, neutral, and no-effect rows for problems that a single coverage move could solve. A short list of realistic attacks is more useful than selecting every possible type, because the calculator is meant to explain a moveset or team plan you could actually use.
Pokemon team coverage calculator: finding practical gaps
For a Pokemon team coverage check, use the tool as a quick map of offensive options rather than as a complete team builder. Start with the attacks your six Pokemon can realistically learn, then compare the union of their attacking types. A team may show excellent chart coverage while still struggling if the moves are slow, inaccurate, unavailable in the chosen game, or concentrated on one fragile member.
The maximum of six selected types is a boundary that keeps the interaction useful for team planning. It also makes a deliberate difference between “what could any attack in the game hit?” and “what coverage does my current group actually bring?” If you need to choose the Pokemon first, use the Pokemon Team Picker, then return here with the move types you expect to use.
Strong coverage
Many rows reach 2x, and the covered types are supported by moves your team can reasonably use.
Neutral patch
A 1x row is playable but gives no type advantage. Check speed, power, accuracy, and role before adding a move just for it.
Resisted gap
A 0.5x or 0x row means every selected attack is a poor answer on the type chart. Look for a complementary type.
Defensive follow-up
After offensive coverage, open the Pokemon Weakness Calculator to inspect what threatens the team.
Limits and accuracy notes
The results are a fast type-matchup reference, not a battle simulator. They use the standard 18-type chart and treat each row as one defending type. Real Pokemon battles can differ because of dual typing, abilities, held items, weather, terrain, move effects, Tera types, critical hits, game generation, and competitive legality.
- The result reports the best type multiplier, not total damage or damage range.
- It does not verify whether a particular Pokemon can learn a move or whether a move is legal in a specific game.
- It does not apply Same-Type Attack Bonus, Ability effects such as Levitate or Thick Fat, items, weather, terrain, priority, accuracy, or critical-hit rules.
- A single defending type is a clean comparison baseline. Dual-type targets can combine multipliers, so confirm important matchups with the Pokemon Type Chart or weakness calculator.
- The page runs locally in your browser and does not need an account, team upload, or server request.

Pokemon Coverage Calculator FAQ
What does a Pokemon coverage calculator measure?
It compares your selected attacking move types with each defending type and reports the strongest standard type multiplier available. It is an offensive coverage check, not a damage calculation.
How many attacking types should I select?
Start with the move types you actually expect to use. One to three types are useful for a focused Pokemon move coverage check, while up to six types can represent a broader team coverage plan.
What does 2x mean in the results?
A 2x result means at least one selected attacking type is super effective against that single defending type under the standard modern main-series chart. It is a type advantage, not a guaranteed damage outcome.
Is Pokemon team coverage the same as team weakness?
No. Coverage is offensive and asks what your attacks can hit well. Team weakness is defensive and asks what attacks threaten your selected Pokemon. Use the weakness calculator for the defensive question.
Why is a type marked resisted or neutral?
If none of the selected attacking types is super effective, the tool shows the strongest available result. A value below 1x means every selected type is resisted or ineffective; 1x means the best option is neutral.
Does the calculator include abilities, STAB, or move power?
No. It only evaluates the standard type chart. It does not apply STAB, abilities, items, weather, terrain, move power, accuracy, Tera types, or game-specific battle rules.
Can I use this as a Pokemon move coverage calculator?
Yes. Select the types of the moves you expect to use and read the strongest matchup against each defending type. The result checks type relationships, not a specific Pokemon's learnset, move power, accuracy, or final damage.
