"Type Strategies Chart, With Dual-Type (Dis)Advantages, Enhanced and Reformatted"


#PokemonGO: I created an enhanced type strategies chart similar to other ones other folks have generously created for the community. I designed mine to highlight dual-type dynamics, help me find interesting matchups that I've never battled with before, and make it more fun to evolve and collect lower-tier Pokémon which can have a niche moveset that would be fun to experiment with.http://ift.tt/2nrlTeN of what I've enhanced and added:Organization: I have rearranged the chart so that the type relationships read consistently on each side of the center types. In each center type section, the higher a type or Pokémon appears, the stronger it is against the center type. No diagonal eye movement across the center column is required. Also, everything should be in alphabetical order from right to left and top to bottom.Formatting: I've adjusted this image so that it fits snugly on the screen of an iPhone 7 Plus when viewed in Photos in portrait mode without needing to scroll or zoom. I tried to make it look nice by color-matching the type shading to what appears in the game and using text on a shaded background consistently throughout the chart. I also used some typographical emphasis such as bold for the strongest advantages and italics for the weakest disadvantages to draw the eye to the best and worst matchups versus a given center type.Dual-Type (Dis)Advantages: I have added individual Pokémon themselves into the chart! There are many dual-type Pokémon which have unique (dis)advantages against other types. I have listed specific Pokémon which are either double-resistant to the center type (on the 0.64x row) and also ones which are doubly weak to the center type (on the 1.56x row).Uber-Counters: On the 0.64x+ rows I singled out special Pokémon which are both double-resistant to the center type and who can also have a fast+charge moveset which is STAB plus Super Effective against the center type. These Pokémon make excellent prestigers against Pokémon of the center type due to this stacking of offensive and defensive advantages.How to use the chart when attacking a gym:Identify the Pokémon type of the defender and find that type section in the Center Type column.Look on the left side on the 1.25x row to see which types of moves & Pokémon (due to STAB) will be Super Effective against the center type. Avoid using moves & Pokémon on the 0.8x row, which are Not Very Effective against the center type.If you also know the defender's move types, look on the right side of the chart to see which Pokémon types on the 0.8x row resist those types of moves to various extents. You can find specific Pokémon on the right side of the chart on the 0.64x row which will be double-resistant (Not Very Effective squared) to that type to maximize your chances of survival. Avoid attacking with Pokémon of types on the 1.25x row corresponding to the defender's move type and especially those listed by name on the 1.56x row, which are double-weak to it.If you also want to maximize DPS in addition to resistance, the Pokémon listed in green on the 0.64x+ row are special in that they are both double-resistant to the center type and they can also have a moveset of a certain (type) which will give them the benefit of both STAB + Super Effective against the center type.When choosing a defender to add to the bottom of a gym and you want it to be as squishy as possible to make prestiging easier: There are Pokémon listed on the 1.56x rows which have double weaknesses to certain types. For example, most folks know that Gyarados is double-weak to Electric attacks, but there are several Pokémon with similar vulnerability to a type. I prefer this approach to presitiging because it does not necessarily mean you areNotes: I have only listed Pokémon who are fully evolved and are available in the game currently (with the exception of Scyther which has 2464 max CP and different typing than Scizor); I left out the legendaries and other unobtainable ones. Hopefully everything is complete and accurate, and I am happy to update this chart if you find issues or have suggestions. Edited description slightly.
