The 6 guides cover:
- How type effectiveness works: multipliers, dual types and STAB: What super effective, not very effective and no effect mean, how two types stack, and how same-type attack bonus and Tera Types add to the damage.
- Type chart changes by generation: what changed and when: How the type chart changed from Red and Blue to Scarlet and Violet: new types in Gold and Silver and in X and Y, and the matchups that were changed along the way.
- Every type immunity, and the abilities that add more: The eight type matchups that do no damage, how they affect switching, and the abilities that make a Pokémon immune to a type it would normally take damage from.
- Abilities that change type matchups: The abilities that halve, block or boost damage from a type, how they change a Pokémon’s weaknesses, and how to account for them in the type calculator.
- How to build type coverage for a moveset and a team: Choosing attack types that cover each other’s gaps, the classic coverage pairs, and how to balance a team’s weaknesses and resistances.
- Best defensive and offensive types, by the numbers: Which types resist the most, which hit the most types hard, and which are the hardest to use, counted directly from the current 18-type chart.
