This one started out as a bit of fun, but ended up evolving into its own resource.

There are two scripts bundled with this resource. The first shows type match-ups for single types, whereas the second shows type match-ups for specific species of Pokémon! This information might be useful for beginner players or if you are reworking the type chart/adding new types to your game.

Features
  • Scroll through the UI to see type match-ups for each type/species. Even veteran players might learn something!
  • The species-specific UI script only lists species in the current region's Pokédex and defaults to the National Pokédex if a regional Pokédex is not defined.
  • Press the "Use" button to be able to quickly jump between types/species.
  • Easy to customise the background into whatever you like by editing the bg.png graphic.
  • Sprite and text positions are agnostic to screen resolution.

Here's a gif showing off the single-type match-up script.


Here's a screenshot of the species-specific UI (poor Exeggcutor with all those weaknesses).

How to use
Bring up the single-type UI using pbTypeMatchUI.
The species-specific UI is called using pbSpeciesTypeMatchUI.
It's up to you to choose where the player can access these UI. The Pokégear might be a good home for it.

Controls
Press the left/right arrows to move between pages.
Press "Use" to bring up a list that you can scroll through to jump between types/species. By default, this would be C/Space/Enter.
When you've got the list up, press A or S (or whatever you have bound to page up/down) to jump down or up quickly.
Press "Back" to close the UI. By default, this would be X/Esc.

Please let me know if there are any issues/questions either here or via Discord (ThatWelshOne_#3324). I'm always happy to help where I can.

As always, thanks for reading!

Latest reviews

I think it's a great resource to have, especially if you plan on adding new types in your game or changing up the type chart like I am. I only have one request that could make it a lot better when given access to the player.

I noticed that it works based on your region, so would it be possible if you could add a setting in the plugin where you can only see the species that you have encountered? Like say you have Bulbasaur but you do not have Caterpie, so the plugin would not show Caterpie in the list of pokemon for the Species Type Matchup List if you understand what I mean. Still a great resource even if not given to the player.
