::* The most types you can trump on a single Pokémon is 14 (with a moveset containing one move each of the following types: Fighting, Ice, Ground, and either Flying or Ghost).

::B) '''STAB'''- Getting the Same Type Attack Bonus is extremely useful when you can't type-trump the opponent. You should try to have a STAB-compatible move on each of your Pokémon (two if it's a dual-type), but don't forsake trumping ability just to have a lot of STAB moves (example: Give a Blastoise ONE Water-type attack and 3 attacks of other types, not 4 Water-type attacks). Unless you can get STAB ''AND'' a super-effective hit with one move (e.g, Lucario using Aura Sphere on a Tyranitar), you should try to use super-effective moves in favor of STAB moves.

::C) '''Covering Weaknesses'''- Many Pokémon are capable of learning moves that can trump one, if not more, types that they would normally be weak to. One of the most well-known examples is the Water-type's weakness to Grass-types; many Water-type Pokémon are capable of learning Ice-type attacks, which helps protect their Grass weakness. Keep in mind that some Pokémon have an easier time guarding their weaknesses than others.

::* ''Types that have an easy time covering their weaknesses'':
:::* Water-types. They can often learn both Ground and Ice attacks; Water/Ground Pokémon have it the easiest; since they're only weak to Grass-types, they only need to have an Ice attack.
:::* Fire-types. While often lacking in defensive stats, all of the types that Fire Pokémon are weak to have a common weakness: Grass. Several Fire-types can learn SolarBeam, which gives them protection from Ground/Rock/Water Pokémon AND another excuse to use Sunny Day.
