On the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] page, I'm a little confused as to why the Venomoth-Gastly thing shouldn't be there. There are plenty of other examples when the answer is correct but another good choice is pointed out. Could you clarify for me?

:This belongs on the PTC Talk page, but oh well. Other good choices are mentioned only if they are equally good against the listed Pokémon. Obviously we don't have a set criteria for this, but basically the score is calculated from the number of type advantages and resistances. For instance, ''Although Togetic is the only choice with an advantage over Fighting, Dustox bears a double resistance to Fighting.'' Whether it's easier to battle a Fighting type with a Normal/Flying (offensive) or Bug/Poison type (defensive) is up to you, but we mentioned Dustox anyway. In this way, a double resistance is better than a resistance, and an immunity is better than that. The notes should only mention choices with an equally-good or better match-up. With Venomoth/Gastly fixed, each note only lists the best choice/s. —<font face="Segoe UI"><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em">[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="#fff">The</font>]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="red">Best</font>]]</span></font> 16:35, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

::Ah. Okay, that makes sense. My confusion comes from ones such as ''Carvanha also has a double advantage over Larvitar. However, unlike Carvanha, Treecko bears a resistance.'' Treecko is the best choice, but Carvanha was mentioned as another possible choice. And you're right, this should be on the PTC talk page. Sorry about that.
