I built a Pokemon type matchup calculator and wrote an analysis of the most effective dual-type combinations from a game theory perspective.

  The article examines why certain type combinations dominate competitive play by analyzing:                                                                                                                                                  
  - Defensive multipliers (resistances, immunities, weaknesses)                                                                                                                                                                               
  - Offensive coverage (STAB effectiveness)                                                                                                                                                                                                   
  - Meta-game viability and usage statistics                                                                                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
  Some interesting findings:                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
  - Steel/Fairy has 9 resistances and 2 immunities with only 2 weaknesses                                                                                                                                                                     
  - Water/Ground has only ONE weakness (4× to Grass) but covers Electric immunity                                                                                                                                                             
  - The trade-off between defensive stability and offensive pressure
