Advanced Offensive Coverage Planning
Offensive coverage shows how well a move set attacks the field. A strong set does not only hit one famous weakness. It reaches many defensive pairs, avoids dead zones, and keeps pressure when the opponent switches. This calculator treats coverage as a small statistical study. Each defender profile becomes one observation. Each move becomes a possible attacking option.
Why Coverage Matters
A team can lose momentum when every move is resisted. Good coverage reduces that risk. It also helps compare similar move sets. For example, a Fire move and an Electric move may both look strong. Yet their combined reach changes when Grass, Steel, Water, and Flying targets appear together. The summary turns those matchups into percentages.
Statistical View
The tool checks every single type and every dual type when no custom list is entered. That creates a broad baseline. You can also paste a weighted target list. Weights let common threats matter more than rare ones. This is useful for ladder notes, draft leagues, or tournament preparation. The weighted coverage rate shows how often your best move is super effective.
Adjusted Power Scores
Raw type coverage is important, but damage pressure also needs move power. Accuracy and same type attack bonus can change the best button. A neutral high power move may score better than a weak super effective move. The adjusted score helps you see that difference. It should not replace battle judgment. Abilities, weather, items, terrain, and stats can still change damage.
Using Results
Start with your four move types. Add power and accuracy when known. Select attacker types if you want bonus scoring. Then review the coverage gaps. Gaps show targets your move set cannot hit well. Strong rows show where your set applies immediate pressure. A balanced offensive plan usually has a high neutral-or-better rate and few immunities. For strict sweeping roles, super effective coverage may matter more.
Practical Checks
Use the custom list after a few battles. Add opponents that caused trouble. Raise weights for threats you see often. Lower weights for rare picks. Recalculate after each change. This creates a simple feedback loop. Over time, your chosen attacks should cover real opponents well, not only a perfect theoretical chart.
