Differences between then and now

Back in the days of Pokémon Rouge et Bleu, there were only fifteen types: the Dark and Steel types only appeared with Pokémon Or et Argent and the Fairy type only with Pokémon X et Y. Things were therefore slightly simpler than today. A Pokémon generally had a single type, but dual types already existed.

As for the type matchups themselves, there were few changes afterwards apart from these:

• The Bug type was super effective against the Poison type (it is “not very effective” today) and vice versa (the Poison type currently has normal effectiveness against the Bug type).
• The Ghost type had no effect on the Psychic type, whereas it is super effective against it today.
• The Ice type had normal effectiveness against the Fire type. Today, it is not very effective.

Because the Dark, Steel and Fairy types did not exist, some Pokémon have a different type or no dual type in the first generation.

Type chart

A few tips for reading the chart:

• The types listed horizontally are the attacking types, and those listed vertically are the types receiving the attack.
• x0: a case where an attack of one type has no effect on a Pokémon of the other type.
• x1/2: a case where an attack of one type deals half damage to a Pokémon of the other type.
• x2: a case where an attack of one type deals twice the normal damage to a Pokémon of the other type.
• Blank cells indicate matchups where an attack has normal effectiveness.

Note that because of dual types, double resistances and double weaknesses exist.

• If an attack type is effective against both types of the Pokémon receiving it, the damage is no longer multiplied by 2 but by 4.
• If, on the other hand, an attack type is not very effective against both types of the defending Pokémon, the damage is no longer multiplied by x1/2 but by x1/4. In other words, it is divided by 4 rather than by 2.
