It would be cool if there was a way to check for moves a pokemon learns that are super effective (se) versus some other specified thing.
To compare how I think this could work in implementation in comparison to how I do it now, I'll use Mew.
Right now, if I wanted to find out what coverage Mew has for Dark-type Pokemon, I would have to do search "/ms Mew, fighting, bug, fairy, !status"
With the super effective parameter (I'll just type it as <is super effective vs> because I wasn't able to come up with a satisfactory shorter version), I would be able to do something like: "ms Mew, <is super effective vs> dark" and obtain the same result without having to list "fighting, bug, fairy" etc. myself. To take it a step further, if possible it would be cool to make it similar to the /weak and /cover commands where you can list multiple types. So for example, "/ms Mew, <is super effective vs> dark/water" would look for all of Mew's moves that can hit a Water/Dark type Pokemon super effectively. Lastly, substituting the typings for Pokemon could work too, perhaps? Like "/ms Mew, <is super effective vs> Heatran" <-- only thing here is that it would probably ignore abilities, I assume.
As an aside, I suppose it's also worth mentioning that the opposite (a parameter for moves resisted by a type/typing) could work too.
