There are 18 types in the Pokemon world, and they all relate to one another differently. As a result, it can be difficult to remember all the matchups and combinations. Throw in the fact that many Pokemon are dual-types, and the Pokemon weakness chart gets even more complicated.

Every Pokemon type has its strengths and weaknesses, as well as immunities and resistances. If you need to refresh your memory on how the Pokemon types gel together or are looking for how a specific type fairs against others, you can use this handy Pokemon type chart as a reference.

Updated March 7, 2024, by Andrew Scariati: In addition to the Pokemon Type Chart, we've included an explanation of multipliers at the bottom. While learning the Pokemon weakness chart is important, the math behind the information comes down to understanding multipliers.

Pokemon Type Chart

Before you get to the Pokemon type chart, there are a few definitions you need to know to understand how Pokemon type weaknesses work.

  1. Super effective against means attacks of that type will do two times damage to the listed types.
  2. Weak to means Pokemon of that type will receive two times the damage against the listed types.
  3. Resists means Pokemon of that type will take half damage from attacks of the listed types.
  4. Weak against means attacks of that Pokemon type will inflict half as much damage to Pokemon of the listed types.

How Do Multipliers Work?

The Pokemon weaknesses chart is the first part of the equation, as multipliers dictate exactly how much damage is done with each attack.

Multipliers are used when a Pokemon has two types that are weak to the same type or when dual-typing changes a weakness.

For example, Swampert, a Ground and Water-type Pokemon, would receive four times the damage from Grass-type moves since Water and Ground are both weak to the Grass-type.

If a Pokemon's type is completely immune to moves of another type, then a Pokemon's additional typing doesn't negate this first immunity.

Normal-type Pokemon are immune to Ghosts, therefore, a Normal and Flying-type Pokemon will still be immune to Ghost types.

If a Pokemon has two types and one is weak to a type that the other is strong against, then that Pokemon will be damaged normally.

For example, Swampert would receive double (2.0x) damage from Water moves since it is partially Ground-type.

But, Swampert is Ground and Water-type, and Water-types resist (0.5x) damage from Water moves.

Therefore, the calculation is 2.0 multiplied by 0.5, which equals 1.0, thus Swampert receives normal damage.

If you need to calculate the damage a Pokemon will take against a certain move, take the multipliers (0.5x, 1.0x, 2.0x, etc.) for each type's damage and – you guessed it – multiply them together to find the damage multiplier.

With your combined understanding of weaknesses and multipliers, you have everything you need to read the Pokemon type chart.
