The Type Chart is an unofficial Pokémon companion for iPhone and iPad, bringing type matchups, a detailed Pokédex, team building, and guided learning together in one focused app. Know the matchup. Build your team. Master the chart. [EXPLORE] Browse Pokémon in a streamlined list or adaptive grid, with National or game-specific Dex Scopes for supported main series games. Explore forms, evolutions, stats, abilities, type effectiveness, moves, natures, items, and more. Base stats reflect changes across the main series games, using the data appropriate to your selected game. Want to explore your options? Open Compare from a Pokémon’s profile or the Dex Hub to examine two Pokémon’s stats, abilities, moves, type matchups, and species information side by side. Switch between base stats and level 50 or 100, and explore shared moves or moves unique to each Pokémon. [BATTLE] Check weaknesses, resistances, offensive and defensive matchups, and type combination breakdowns. Champions mode is designed for use alongside Pokémon Champions, with singles and doubles recommendations plus optional regulation guidance for evaluating and preparing teams. [BUILD] Create teams for supported games and formats, including Pokémon Champions. Record moves, abilities, natures, held items, and training details, then review Attack Coverage and Defensive Gaps. Go deeper with Pro analysis to explore shared weaknesses, move recommendations, and how configured transformations affect your team. [LEARN] Learn the type chart step by step through guided lessons in Type Academy, quick Practice sessions, and Victory Road challenges with unlockable ranks, badges, and accuracy tracking. Put your matchup knowledge to work with Type Circuit, a daily logic puzzle. Arrange the type icons so every connection matches the damage multiplier shown. A new puzzle arrives at midnight in your local time zone, and the calendar archive lets you revisit past circuits. [APPLE WATCH] Check type matchups at a glance with a simplified calculator for Apple Watch. Choose one or two types, select Attack or Defense, and see effectiveness with familiar type icons and damage multipliers. Works offline and independently of the iPhone app. [FREE AT THE CORE] The Pokédex, Compare, matchup tools, Team Builder, Type Academy, Practice, Victory Road, Type Circuit, and Apple Watch calculator are free. The Type Chart Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It adds deeper team analysis and offline sharing tools, expanded Champions recommendation breakdowns, saved Pokédex search presets, alternate app icons, and deeper learning statistics. [PRIVATE BY DESIGN] No account. No ads. No tracking or third-party analytics. Your data stays stored locally on your device, and the app is designed to work offline. The Type Chart is independently developed and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures Inc., or The Pokémon Company.
