Poketypes

Poketypes is a fairly simple tool for players of the Pokémon video game series.

It allows you to simply list a set of types that are present on your team, like so:

$ ./poketypes.py dragon grass ghost poison fire ice

It will then treat these types as an aggregate, and let you know types your theoretical team is capable of being strong against both offensively and defensively. This is to help you spot potentially weaknesses when building a team.

For example, the above command will output:

                Attack
                ======

Strong     Normal     Weak       Immune

ground     fighting                        
flying     poison                          
psychic    dark

poison     dark                            
grass                                      
bug                                        
ground                                     

You can also use it as a quick-reference for a single type's strengths and weaknesses by listing just that type.

Todo

Currently the tool assumes you can switch to any of the listed types separately. At some point, I'll try to handle dual types in a sensible way.
