Pokemon Type Calculator FAQs

A combination of Ground, Flying, Fighting, Ice, Dark, and Grass will give you solid coverage against most type matchups.

While it is not possible for four moves to cover all types, the best move combination that covers most types includes Fighting, Ice, Ground, and Flying-type moves, allowing you to hit 14 types (out of the 18 that exist).

Ground-type Pokemon are strong against five different types including Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel. On par with Ground types, Fighting types also are strong against five types including Normal, Steel, Rock, Dark and Ice.

No type is objectively the strongest, due to all having weaknesses. Some favor Steel-types for being defensively the best, while contrastingly Psychic and Fairy-types are offensively liked. Dragon-types are well bell balanced with their stats which makes them a safe choice to many players.

Normal/Ghost-type Pokemon are among the best dual types due to having only one weakness (Dark-type) and three immunities (Ghost, Normal, and Fighting). As of now, in Generation 9, only Hisuian Zorua and Hisuian Zoroark have this typing. Other notable dual types include Ghost/Dark (weak to only Fairy), Poison/Dark (weak to Ground), Water/Ground (4x weak to Grass) and Bug/Steel (4x weak to Fire).
