What is the Pokémon Type Calculator?
The Pokémon Type Calculator is an essential tool for competitive trainers and casual players alike. It helps you calculate type effectiveness for Generation 9 (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet). Whether you are building a team for the Elite Four or preparing for online battles, understanding type matchups is key to victory.
How to Use This Tool
- Select Type 1: Click on the primary type of the Pokémon (e.g., Fire).
- Select Type 2 (Optional): If the Pokémon has a dual type, click the second type (e.g., Flying).
- Analyze Results: The tool instantly calculates 4x weaknesses, 2x weaknesses, resistances, and immunities based on the latest Gen 9 charts.
Understanding Type Effectiveness
In Pokémon battles, damage is calculated based on type matchups:
- Super Effective (2x or 4x): Moves deal double or quadruple damage. Avoid these matchups!
- Not Very Effective (0.5x or 0.25x): Moves deal half or quarter damage. Great for defensive switch-ins.
- Immune (0x): The Pokémon takes no damage from these attacks (e.g., Ground moves against Flying types).
Why Use a Dual Type Calculator?
Calculating weaknesses for single-type Pokémon is easy, but dual types (like Dragon/Flying) complicate things. For example, an Ice-type move deals 4x damage to Dragon/Flying types. Our calculator handles this math instantly so you don't have to.
