  • Smooth Animations: Flicker-free, fade-in animations for weaknesses, resistances, and immunities.
  • Pokémon Sprite Display: View the selected Pokémon’s sprite in a dynamic, circular frame.
  • Save and Share: Download results as a text file or share via social media.

How to Use

  1. Select Game Mode: Choose “Main Series” or “Pokémon Go” for accurate mechanics.
  2. Choose a Pokémon or Types:
    • Select a Pokémon from the dropdown or click “Random Pokémon” to auto-fill its types.
    • Manually choose a primary and optional secondary type for custom analysis.
  3. Calculate: Click the “Calculate” button to view smooth, animated results, including weaknesses (2x+ damage), resistances (0.5x or less), and immunities (0x).
  4. Review Results: Explore color-coded results with a Pokémon sprite in a Poké Ball-themed frame.
  5. Save or Share: Download results as a text file or share via social media.

Tips for Effective Use

  • Random Selection: Use the “Random Pokémon” button to discover new Pokémon or test unfamiliar type combinations, like Klefki’s Steel/Fairy.
  • Mobile Usage: Enjoy a touch-friendly interface with large buttons and dropdowns. Zoom in on the sprite for a closer look.
  • Pokémon Go vs. Main Series: Toggle game mode for accurate mechanics, as Pokémon Go simplifies some interactions (e.g., Normal/Ghost).
  • Competitive Strategy: Focus on weaknesses (e.g., 4x damage types) to plan counters. For example, Charizard (Fire/Flying) needs protection from Rock-type moves.
  • Custom Type Testing: Override auto-filled types to analyze alternate forms (e.g., Mega Charizard X’s Dragon/Fire).
  • Sharing Insights: Share results on platforms like X using the share button for quick posts.
