## What is Match Champ?

Match Champ helps you learn Pokémon type matchups through drills, quizzes, and spaced repetition — so you can make the right call in battle without checking a chart.

Five Ways to Train

Challenge — 60-second timed rounds. Earn 12 achievements, compete in daily challenges, and push for your best score.
Type Drills — Pure type-vs-type questions powered by Leitner 5-box spaced repetition. Weak areas surface first so you learn faster. Easy (pick one) or Hard (select all correct types from the full grid) difficulty.
Matchup Drills — Move effectiveness against real Pokémon. Learn how dual types change the matchup math.
Lookup — Interactive type chart and Pokémon reference. Search any Pokémon or type combo to see strengths and weaknesses.
Type Quiz — Identify Pokémon types on Easy (multiple choice) or Hard (full 18-type grid) difficulty.
Pokémon GO & Main Series

Switch instantly between Pokémon GO multipliers (1.6x / 0.625x / 0.39x) and Main Series multipliers (2x / 0.5x / 0x). Same progress, different math.

Learn Why, Not Just What

Short mnemonics explain the logic behind every type matchup — fire burns through plants, water shorts out circuits — so the answers stick.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-07-03

Added
- Type Drills now teach resistances, not just weaknesses. New "Which types resist Fire?" and "Which types does Steel resist?" questions mean every type matchup is now drillable — previously only super-effective matchups counted, so mastery topped out around 54%. Spaced repetition now covers all 120.
- Every type-matchup mnemonic is now translated into all nine supported languages (previously English only).
- The About screen now shows the app version.

Changed
- The Daily Challenge resets at your local midnight (Wordle-style) instead of UTC, matching the day your "today's best" score already tracks.

Fixed
- Matchup Drill could mark the correct answer wrong for certain dual-type Pokémon (for example, a main-series Fire move into a Water/Dragon defender showed "Immune" as correct). Grading is now exact for every matchup.
- Fixed a crash that could recur on every launch after downloading Pokémon data from the PoGo API source.
- Sound effects no longer go silent for the rest of the session after a phone call or Siri interruption.
- Type Quiz now remembers your Hard difficulty between launches.
- Pokémon search now finds accented names — typing "flabebe" finds Flabébé.
- Fixed a loading spinner that could get stuck when refreshing Pokémon data during the rate-limit cooldown.

Accessibility
- Answer results no longer rely on color alone — correct, incorrect, and revealed-answer states now carry distinct icons and VoiceOver descriptions.
- Larger quit button during a Challenge; the achievements list stays legible when achievements are locked.
- Long type names no longer clip at large Dynamic Type sizes.
