Programming Type Matchup Calculator

[richi3f]

I'm beginning to use Python, so I thought it would be good practice to work on a web app. This calculator is the result.


Features:

• Dual type support
• Inverse type chart support (can become handy ;)
• Ability support (e.g., Dry Skin, Heatproof, Sap Sipper, etc.)
• Mobile friendly (tested with iPhone only)

Tip: you can hover an icon to see the damage multiplier.

I hope you find it useful. I'm open to suggestions, bug reports and questions!

Wonder Guard doesn't work on the calculator, you might wanna fix that. Also, are there any plans on adding Pokemon? ie. type in a Pokemon and it shows the weaknesses.

Thanks for pointing that out! I completely forgot about that ability, it should work now.

I'll consider implementing your suggestion. My initial plan was to make a team builder app. Most of them don't take into account abilities and I haven't seen one that supports the inverse type chart. This should be my next (summer) project!

Flying doesn't seem to show how its immune to ground. :s

It should be fixed by now. Thanks for testing.

You are not able to make the ability INPUT empty after you calculated type matchups. (Only manually by changing in the URL

Huh, I'm able to erase it just fine. Can you please tell me what's your browser/input?

In the future, could you make a full type chart similar to this, but with inverse?
pokemondb.net/type/dual
Edit: And/or an offense calculator?

Water Absorb seems to make things immune to electric.

I can erase it manually, but not choose blank. It's not necessary, but just a helpful thing to do.

I use Google Chrome by the way.

When I typed in Grass/Ice for the regular type matchups, it only showed 6 weaknesses instead of 7. The weakness that is missing is the Steel-type. Can you add that type to that type combination's weaknesses please?
