Start with the attacking type
A type chart is not a list to memorize from top to bottom. It is a lookup table. Start with the move or attack type, then check the defending type or types. For example, Electric is a useful attacking type to check against Water and Flying Pokemon.
Use the type hub and weakness notes when writing Pikachu-style matchup examples.
