 ===Type Coverage===
-An analysis of which types can be hit for Super-Effective Damage. For example, a Fire type move will do super-effective damage against Bug, Grass, Ice, and Steel types. As Super-Effective moves are the most efficient way to take out other Pokémon, trainers usually strive for good type coverage on individual Pokémon, and for the whole team. Hidden Power helps as a wild-card to allow a Pokémon to cover types it wouldn't normally be able to, such as a Charizard with Hidden Power Water, which would then give it coverage against other Fire types. Ice is typically a good type to have, as the most commonly seen Dragon types have a double weakness to the Ice type.
+Type coverage referrs to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are boltbeam (only resisted by lanturn and magnezone) which is thunder bolt and ice beam, and ghost+fighting has perfect coverage, though this is not favourable because of the lack of reliable physical ghost attacks, or reliable fighting special attacks(though this can be solved somewhat by hidden power).
