What is the least amount of types that can cover all types super effectively?
I’m not really sure how to explain this, it’s like can you cover all types super effectively in a moveset, except you can go over four and it has to be the least amount of types.

With two moves, you can cover ten types with a ground move in freeze dry
When accounting for no dual-types (typing in general), the most efficient grouping of types I found was:
Freeze Dry:Water, Ground, Dragon, Flying, GrassGround:Electric, Rock, Steel, Poison, FireFighting:Normal, Dark, IceDark/Ghost:Ghost, PsychicSteel:FairyFlying:Bug, Fighting
However, accounting for all known types you’ll need Mold Breaker (to break Eelektross’s levitate) and in addition to the types listed above
Fairy:(for Dark/Ghosts, Dark/Psychic and Kingdra)Fire:For Bug/Steels and Steel/FlyingRock: For fire/flying
If there’s a more efficient combination or I missed something feel free to tell me I’m wrong
However, this was all a lie, because you really only need three moves to hit every Pokemon superffectively- Soak- An electric move- A grass move
My combination consists of the possible minimum types needed to counter the eighteen types.
Fighting- Normal, Ice, Dark, SteelGround- Fire, Electric, Poison, RockIce- Grass. Flying, DragonGrass- Water, GroundFlying- Bug, FightingGhost-Psychic, GhostSteel- Fairy
Hope I’ve Helped!
8 moves are required to hit all 171 type combinations super effectively. There’s only one combo that does it and that’s Fire Freeze-Dry Fighting Ground Rock Dark Steel Fairy.
Break down:Freeze-dry is super effective vs. 65 types, with 33 resistances and 3 double resistances(Fire, Steel, Ice)Ground adds 56 SE types(121 total), with 1 resistance (Bug-Water)Rock adds 23(144), Fairy adds 13(157), Dark adds 5(Ghost, Psychic)(162), Steel adds 5(Fairy, Ice-Ground)(167), Fire adds 3(Steel)(170), and Fighting adds 1(Normal)(171)
Ignoring Freeze-dry, any of these 9 combinations of 10 are needed:Fire Grass Ice Fighting Ground Bug Rock Dark Steel FairyFire Grass Ice Fighting Ground Flying Rock Dark Steel FairyFire Grass Ice Fighting Poison Ground Rock Dark Steel FairyFire Grass Ice Fighting Poison Ground Rock Ghost Dark FairyFire Water Grass Fighting Ground Bug Rock Dark Steel FairyFire Electric Grass Ice Fighting Ground Flying Dark Steel FairyFire Water Grass Fighting Ground Flying Rock Dark Steel FairyFire Water Grass Fighting Poison Ground Rock Dark Steel FairyFire Water Grass Fighting Poison Ground Rock Ghost Dark Fairy
