Appendix:Metagame terminology: Difference between revisions

Type coverage refers to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are BoltBeam (only resisted by {{p|Lanturn}} and {{p|Magnezone}}, and negated by {{p|Shedinja}}'s {{a|Wonder Guard}}) which is {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, or any combination of Electric-type and Ice-type attacks. {{type2|Ghost}}/{{type2|Dark}}/{{type2|Dragon}}+{{type2|Fighting}} attacks have perfect coverage, due to the fact that Ghost-type and Dragon-type moves together are all resisted by only Dark and Steel types (Dark-types resisting Ghost, and Steel-types resisting both). Both of these types are defensively weak to Fighting-type moves, meaning at best, a dual-typed Steel or Dark Pokémon will be neutral to Fighting (at worst, 4x weak). Thus all currently known Pokemon are at least neutral to these combinations.
