| Remove any types whose counters are a superset of another. | |
| For example, anything that satisfies ๐ฅ๐๏ธ will satisfy ๐ฅ๐๏ธโฐ๏ธ. | |
| Bug ๐ฅ๐๏ธโฐ๏ธ | |
| Bug x Fght ๐ฅ๐๏ธ(๐ฎร๐๐ฝ) | |

| Separate the types which only occur once. These are | |
| ๐๐๐๐ป๐ฉ๐ฎ*โฐ๏ธ* | |
| Bug : ๐ฅ๐๏ธ โฐ๏ธ | |
| Bug x Fght : ๐ฅ๐๏ธ (๐ฎ*) | |
| Bug x Rock : (๐|โฐ๏ธ|๐ฉ) | |
| Fght x Psyc : ๐๏ธ (๐ป) | |
| Flyn x Stee : ๐ฅโก | |
| Flyn x Watr : โก (โฐ๏ธ*) | |
| Gras x Watr : ๐๏ธ (๐|๐) | |
| Now that these are separated, we can draw some more conclusions. | |
| Flying occurs the most, so lets separate this into rows that include flying and those which don't | |
| No Flying: | |
| Bug x Rock : (๐|โฐ๏ธ|๐ฉ) | |
| Flyn x Stee : ๐ฅโก | |
| Flyn x Watr : โก (โฐ๏ธ*) | |
| Mandatory types: | |
| ๐งฑ๐ณ๐๐ฝโ๏ธ๐ค๐ฎ + (:๐โฐ๏ธ๐ฉ) + (โก|๐ฅโฐ๏ธ*) | |
| Flying: | |
| Bug : ๐๏ธ๐ฅ โฐ๏ธ | |
| Bug x Fght : ๐๏ธ๐ฅ (๐ฎ*) | |
| Fght x Psyc : ๐๏ธ (๐ป) | |
| Gras x Watr : ๐๏ธ (๐|๐) | |

| ๐งฑ๐ณโ๏ธ๐ค๐๐ฝ๐ฎ (:๐โฐ๏ธ๐ฉ) (โก|๐ฅโฐ๏ธ*) (๐๏ธ | ๐ป(:๐๐)(๐ฅ|โฐ๏ธ๐ฎ*)) | |
| Our Final formula is: | |
| ๐งฑ๐ณโ๏ธ๐ค๐๐ฝ๐ฎ (:๐โฐ๏ธ๐ฉ) (โก|๐ฅ(โฐ๏ธร:๐๐ณ)) (๐๏ธ|๐ป(:๐๐) (๐ฅ|โฐ๏ธ(๐ฎร๐๐ฝ))) | |
