Types

Both Pokémon and Attacks are assigned to different types. Pokemon can carry one or two types, but attacks can only have one type. Each of the types has its own weaknesses and strengths. There are a total of 18 Pokémon types.

Examples
With this table you can calculate how much damage an attack of a certain type makes! For example, Water attacks on a Pokémon, with the -Type, are very effective, but a water attack on a -Type is not effective. There are also Pokémon with which a certain attack type does not damage. For example, if you attack a -type Pokémon with an Electric Attack.


 * Psychic attacks against a -/-Type Pokémon is very effective, because both types (= & ) are weak against Psychic attacks. Calculated: 2 x 2 = 4 (damage x4).


 * Electric attacks against a /-type Pokémon is normally effective, because the -type is weak against electric attacks, but the -type is resistant to electric attacks. Calculated: 2 x ½(=0.5) = 1 (damage x1).


 * Electric attacks against a '/'-type Pokémon cause no damage. The -type has a weakness (damage x2) when attacked by an Electric attack, but the -type is immune to Electric attacks. Calculated: 2 x 0 = 0 (0x damage).

The strongest type
Here you can see which type is the strongest or the weakest in the attack, defence and overall. How the score was calculated is shown in the following table!
