Pokémon Types

Complete guide to all 18 Pokémon types with matchups and effectiveness

About Types

Types are properties for Pokémon and their moves. Each Pokémon can have one or two types, and each move has exactly one type. Type effectiveness determines how much damage attacks deal. Super effective moves deal 2× damage, not very effective moves deal 0.5× damage, and some types are immune to certain others (0× damage).

Type Matchup Chart

See how the 18 types interact with strengths, weaknesses, and immunities.

Defensive Matchups

Check which types deal reduced or increased damage to each type.

Offensive Coverage

Plan attacks that hit the most opponents super effectively.

Type Immunities

Some types completely negate damage from others.

Reading the Chart

The type chart shows how attacking types interact with defending types. Super effective means 2x damage; not very effective means 0.5x.

Dual-type creatures combine resistances and weaknesses, which can create double weaknesses or cancel out vulnerabilities.
