Superior TTar counter/Dmg calcs
So trying to do some damage calcs to help me make some decisions but there are 3 different numbers for super effectiveness. first in "Damage mechanics guide" it has 1.2 and 1.4 for super effective and in individual pokemon move lists it's 1.25 which is it? the .5 doesn't seem like much but it's 12% more damage on a quad weak pokemon.
Quotes from "Damage Mechanics":
"Attacks get x1.2 super effective bonus"
"Super effective" type advantage provides a x1.4 multiplier."
Is it just a typo and someone put the stab multiplier there instead?

It's hilarious how vap is a better counter to itself than jolteon... No, I'm trying to figure out who is truly better for TTar raids. Vap is listed but Machamp does 39.2 DPS and Vaporeon does 19.6(assuming super effective multiplier is 1.4) and machamp takes 29% less damage from most of it's moves bar iron tail in which case vaporeon would be superior defensively but vaporeon only has 22% more bulk than machamp meaning that machamp would last longer against non-iron tail variants.
Gym battles just feel completely different from before. Attacking a fully stocked gym with reasonable defenders with two people and we can take 4 of them down before our first defender is knocked out. Super easy. Next rounds even easier and easier. I wish defense difficulty was cranked up by at least three times to make it a challenge.
