Pokémon type chart

Every Pokémon and every move has one of 18 types. A super effective move deals double damage (×2), a not very effective move deals half (×½), and some have no effect at all (×0). Against a Pokémon with two types, both multipliers are multiplied together, so a move can deal ×4 or only ×¼.

Read the chart row by row: the row gives the type of the attacking move, the column the type of the defending Pokémon. It applies since Generation 6 (Pokémon X and Y), which added the Fairy type.

For a specific Pokémon, a regional form or a dual type, the weakness calculator does the math (×4, ×¼, immunities), and team coverage spots your team's shared weaknesses.
