What four types are super-effective against the most Pokemon in Generations 1 through 6?
Basically asking which four types of moves hit the most Pokemon super-effective out of all 721 available at the moment, percentage wise. This isn’t asking what four types match up the best against all other types, although there might be a connection between these two things. Thanks :)

After spending hours of my time on the type coverage checker,i found that a combination of Fighting,Electric,Ground and Flying types would hit 628 Pokemon super effectively and the remaining 172 neutrally while also taking care of Shedinja .If you consider Generation 7, both numbers rise to 717 for super effective and 191 for neutral.
The site has aType Coverage Checkerthat you can play around with to maximize the typing of a given moveset. I imagine this is for a Protean set?
Fiddling with it a bit, I was surprised at what Fire, Grass, Rock, and Fairy generated. 0 No Effect, 0 Not Very Effective, 229 Normal Effectiveness, and a whopping 571 Super Effective.
Fighting, Electric, Ice and Ground hit a whopping 624 Pokemon super-effectively, and hit the rest for neutral damage except for our good old Wonder Guard friend. I believe that this is the most coverage you will get as I could not find another superior combination after fiddling around with the Type Coverage Checker. Also, I looked this question up and the same combination was said in response to similar questions in other forums.
