Wut? I dunno what you ask

---

Ummm... like what four types of moves hit the most pokemon for super effective damage

---

Okay. Thanks

Answer 1

BoltBeam(Electric+Ice) EdgeQuake(Rock+Ground) has the highest coverage at

179 Normal Effectiveness
490 Super Effectiveness

Called BoltBeam and EdgeQuake because the most powerful moves in those catgories that are learned by the most pokes are, respectively, Thunder bolt and Ice Beam, Stone Edge and Earth quake

Mew, Regigigas, Machamp, and Hitmonchan can all learn ThunderPunch, Ice Punch, Stone Edge, and Earthquake for a physical spread.

Arceus, Nidoqueen, Nidoking, Mew, Dialga and Palkia can learn Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Earth Power, and Power Gem or HP Rock for a special combo.

I am actually greatful that there are people like you MK. Otherwise I would be a pokénoob for eternity.

Answer 2

Before I got another downvotes because of misconception, I change my answer.

It was Fighting, Ground, Dark and Steel.

Sorry, if I am wrong, since I using this type and confirm is good for me.

Comments

clearly not what i meant

You write about grass water fire electric, so I thought you ask for that type. That's why you need to put info more specific, so people won't got confused.

lel Mr.K didnt need an explanation, Writing about those four types was my examples : I

also it wasnt me who downvoted

Answer 3

To have a moveset that covers most types:

• ice, dark, rock, ground.
  • You would take care of grass, ground, rock, dragon, flying, ghost, psychic, bug, fire, steel, ice, poison, electric if I am doing this correctly. That is 13 types.

I am sure there is a more perfect coverage set out there but this is what I could determine.

Answer 4

Best super effective type coverage is Actually Ice, Electric, Ground, and Flying hitting a total of 494 Pokemon for super effective and 175 for normal effective damage.

Lugia can run a special set of ice beam, thunderbolt, earth power, and aeroblast
Golurk can go physical with ice punch, thunder punch, earthquake, and fly

this doesn't list gen 6 Pokemon but no type combo should resist all 4 moves.
