Type Information

How Type Effectiveness Works

In Pokémon battles, every move has a type, and every Pokémon has one or two types. When a move hits a Pokémon, the damage is multiplied based on type matchups:

  • Super Effective (2×): The attacking type is strong against the defending type
  • Not Very Effective (0.5×): The attacking type is weak against the defending type
  • No Effect (0×): The attacking type cannot damage the defending type at all
  • Dual Types: Multipliers stack! A 4× weakness means both types are weak to the attack (2× × 2×)
