This post talks about the newest Pokemon Go API, the Type Effectiveness API at pogoapi.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Pokemon Type Effectiveness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When a Pokemon attacks, a multiplier is applied based on the attacker and defender types. This type effectiveness is very important to help deal the most damage as possible in raids and pvp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some types will be super effective towards others, doing increased damage to the type. Others will not be very effective reducing the total damage taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The default multiplier for attacking is 1, a neutral multiplier, whereby the effect is not boosted or reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally in combat you will want to ensure you use the most effective type possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting the Pokemon Types Effectiveness data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This API returns the damage multiplier based on the attacking type against a defender type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GET \/api\/v1\/type_effectiveness.json<\/code> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Returns a JSON dict where each key is the attacking type and the value is a dict of defender types and the damage multiplier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example data<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n{\n    "Bug": {\n        "Bug": "1",\n        "Dark": "1.6",\n        "Dragon": "1",\n        "Electric": "1",\n        "Fairy": "0.625",\n        "Fighting": "0.625",\n        "Fire": "0.625",\n        "Flying": "0.625",\n        "Ghost": "0.625",\n        "Grass": "1.6",\n        "Ground": "1",\n        "Ice": "1",\n        "Normal": "1",\n        "Poison": "0.625",\n        "Psychic": "1.6",\n        "Rock": "1",\n        "Steel": "0.625",\n        "Water": "1"\n    }, ...\n}\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
The full documentation is available on the PoGoAPI.net documentation page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
