COVERAGE MOVES TOOL
Idk why but I just thought of a semi useful tool because of coverage moves, personally I struggle to find good coverage and knowing the amount of value I will get by hitting all the mons that I need so I’m going through all the types to see what meta or semi meta mons you can hit with difference coverage moves. (A semi meta Mon is anything B on sussyamongusdrip’s Pokémon VR because of its recency and they a know what they are talking about. B- is kinda gimmicks still which is why It is not included. Will not list any of the semi meta mons(sometimes)
Normal: Jack shit don’t run coverage normal unless it’s extreme speed for neich cases.
Conclusion,
Super effective against: nothing gng
Resisted by: 6 meta mons, 6 semi meta mons.
Immune by: pretty much all WG Pokémon
Pairs best with ghost moves
Grass: Pretty ok in my opinion hits m-slowbro and m-Gary but that’s about it, but there are so many resists so I wouldn’t really recommend.
Conclusion
Super effective against: 4 meta, 2 semi meta.
, semi relevant (

Resisted by: 12 meta, 13 semi meta.
No immune

Paired best with fire moves

Immune:
Useful moves: Sludge Wave, Sludge Bomb
Best paired with Fire moves
WGS hit
Ground: Even better than in regular metagames because of Thousand Arrows hitting Flying types, but it can only hit Flying for neutral which would make a difference if Celesteela or M-Aero could be hit for super effective. And it could be better if it could hit any other WGs besides A-Muk.
Conclusion,
