Enter your Pokémon type and move type into the calculator to determine your type coverage.

Type Coverage Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the type coverage:

Coverage = Type Effectiveness * 100%

Variables:

  • Coverage is the effectiveness of the move against the selected Pokémon type (%)
  • Type Effectiveness is a predefined multiplier based on the type matchup (e.g., 2 for super effective, 0.5 for not very effective)

To calculate the type coverage, multiply the type effectiveness by 100 to get the percentage coverage.
