A Pokémon Battle Calculator helps trainers determine type effectiveness in battles, ensuring strategic advantages. Whether you're planning your next gym battle or optimizing your team, this tool (including a Beat Up move calculator feature) simplifies complex matchups.

How a Pokémon Counter Calculator Works

This tool calculates damage multipliers based on type interactions. The core formula for type effectiveness is:

Damage Multiplier = Type1 Effectiveness × Type2 Effectiveness

For example:

  • Fire vs. Grass/Bug: 2× (super effective) × 2× (super effective) = 4× damage
  • Electric vs. Ground: 0× (no effect) = immune

FAQs: Pokémon Counter Calculator

Does the calculator account for STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus)?


No, this tool focuses on type effectiveness only. STAB (a 1.5× damage boost) is calculated separately in battle.

How accurate is the Beat Up move calculator?

It factors in Dark-type effectiveness but doesn’t account for team composition. For exact damage, check individual Pokémon stats.

Can I use this for competitive battles?


Absolutely! It’s perfect for VGC and ranked matches, helping predict opponent weaknesses.
