This was actually in the works for a long time (back in Gen 7), then abandoned. Seems fine to me, since that's what cart does as well.

In the meantime, you can type /weak [pokemon] into your [battle] chat for this, btw. Here's an example of the result after I use /weak Iron Bundle:

/cover [move] works, too (ex: /cover flamethrower):

and if you use /cover [move], all, you get a typechart (ex: /cover flamethrower, all):

In case you want to satisfy your curiosity w/o leaving PS! :]

If I recall correctly back when I was in highschool (5-6 years ago) there was an app on the chrome store that did this for you. I don't know if it's still available or compatible but I remember it doing this specific thing.

instead of only apearing when you hover over it, could it apear under the move like in the pokemon games? hovering over it requires the user to know about this feature, and this would be most useful for people new to showdown.
