I always like to try to get the most information content out of the chart possible, though - if literally the only thing I'm doing with the cells is turning them on/off, then it might as well just be a tool that outputs lists and the presentation of a chart only makes it worse. I really want to make each cell in the chart actually show something meaningful.
I was thinking perhaps something like allowing you to specify any number of "criteria", each being some statement about the defensive multiplier when attacked by some particular type, and the chart shows for each combination how many of your criteria are satisfied - a bit more information that better makes use of the chart format but also makes it easy to see just the ones that satisfy every criterion thanks to the color coding.
I'm not sure including information about particular Pokémon is within the scope of the type chart, though; it seems to complicate things and try to force it to be something it isn't. The tool is about type relations, not about particular Pokémon; one would be better off with a better, specialized tool if the point is to find particular Pokémon that fit certain criteria, not a type chart.
However, given the chart does (optionally) include the distinction between type combinations that exist and those that don't, it does make sense to list all existing Pokémon of a particular type combination when you hover over (or click) one. And having abilities in there as a general thing - like, you can check a "Levitate" box and it'll pretend every type is immune to Ground - could be a good idea.
Thanks for the feedback! Your suggestions are always interesting and give me good ideas even if I don't think they work exactly as stated.
