How Effectiveness Works

Every Pokémon has one or two types, and every move has a type too. When a move hits, its type is checked against the target's type. The damage can go up, go down, or disappear completely.

2×Super effective

Double damage. Great for hitting a weakness!

½×Not very effective

Half damage. The target resists this type.

0×No effect

No damage at all. The target is immune.

1×Normal

Regular damage. Most matchups land here.

Learning the big weaknesses is one of the quickest ways to win more battles. You'll know when to switch, and which moves to pick.

Pokémon With Two Types

When a Pokémon has two types, multiply the two numbers together. A Fire move against a Grass/Bug Pokémon is 2× and 2×, so it does 4× damage. A Water move against a Water/Dragon Pokémon is ½× and ½×, so it only does ¼×.

If one type is weak to a move and the other resists it, they cancel out to normal damage. The type calculator does all of this for you.

Common Questions

Which games does this type chart work for?

This is the type chart used since Pokémon X and Y, which is when the Fairy type arrived. Older games had no Fairy type, and back then Steel also resisted Ghost and Dark moves. Everything else lines up.

Which types are immune to something?

7 types can shrug off a whole type of move: Normal (Ghost moves); Ground (Electric moves); Flying (Ground moves); Ghost (Normal and Fighting moves); Dark (Psychic moves); Steel (Poison moves); Fairy (Dragon moves).

Can anything change these matchups?

Yes. The chart shows the basic type matchups, but some abilities change them. For example, a Pokémon with the Levitate ability isn't hit by Ground moves, even though its type normally would be.

Where does this data come from?

Our type data comes from PokéAPI, a free public Pokémon database, and we check it against a second source. Spotted something wrong? Let us know.
