Pokémon Team Weakness Calculator
When building your Pokémon team, it’s easy to overlook type weaknesses. A Pokémon Team Weakness Calculator helps you find those hidden gaps in your lineup so you can prepare for any battle. By analyzing each Pokémon’s type and resistances, the calculator shows where your team struggles and how to fix it.

What is a Pokémon Team Weakness Calculator?
The Team Weakness Calculator evaluates your entire team’s defensive profile. Instead of just checking one Pokémon at a time, it combines all of your team members to highlight:
- Shared Weaknesses (e.g., 3 Pokémon weak to Ice)
- Resistances (types your team can reliably counter)
- Immunities (e.g., Ground-types immune to Electric)
This way, you know exactly which type could sweep your team and which types you’re safe against.
The Formula Behind Weakness
Pokémon type weaknesses are determined by multiplying effectiveness values for each defending type.
Here’s the basic formula:
Damage Multiplier = Move Type Effectiveness × Pokémon Type Resistance
Effectiveness multipliers:
- 2× = Super Effective
- 0.5× = Not Very Effective
- 0× = Immune
- 1× = Neutral
For dual-type Pokémon, multiply both values:
Example:
Charizard (Fire/Flying) vs. Rock Move
- Fire vs Rock = 2×
- Flying vs Rock = 2×
- Total = 4× Weakness
This formula helps the calculator highlight where your team is overexposed.
Example Team Weakness Table
Pokémon | Types | Electric | Ice | Rock | Ground | Dragon | Fairy |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Charizard | Fire/Flying | 2× | 2× | 4× | 0× | 1× | 1× |
Gyarados | Water/Flying | 4× | 2× | 2× | 0× | 1× | 1× |
Tyranitar | Rock/Dark | 2× | 1× | 0.5× | 2× | 2× | 2× |
Alakazam | Psychic | 1× | 1× | 1× | 1× | 1× | 2× |
Lucario | Fighting/Steel | 1× | 2× | 1× | 1× | 1× | 0.5× |
Garchomp | Dragon/Ground | 0.5× | 4× | 1× | 0× | 2× | 2× |
From this table, you can quickly see:
- Team is very weak to Ice (multiple 2× and a 4× weakness)
- Electric is dangerous, especially for Gyarados
- Fairy can be a threat due to several neutral or weak matchups
Why It Matters
Without checking weaknesses, you might enter a battle with a team that collapses to a single type. A Pokémon Team Weakness Calculator ensures you:
- Cover all major threats
- Avoid stacking weaknesses
- Build balanced teams for online battles or tournaments
