How to read the Pokémon type chart

Find the attacking move's type on the left and the defending Pokémon's type along the top. 2 means super effective (double damage), ½ not very effective, 0 no effect, and a blank cell normal damage. Against a dual-type Pokémon, multiply both values — that is how 4× weaknesses and ¼× resistances happen.

Abilities can change the result: Levitate makes a Pokémon immune to Ground, Flash Fire to Fire, Water Absorb to Water and Thick Fat halves Fire and Ice damage. The team builder and each Pokémon weakness page account for these.

FAQ

How many Pokémon types are there?

There are 18 types since Generation 6: Normal, Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, Steel and Fairy. Gen 1 had 15 (no Dark, Steel or Fairy) and Gens 2–5 had 17 (no Fairy).

How do dual-type weaknesses work?

Multiply the two values. Ice against Garchomp (Dragon/Ground) is 2 × 2 = 4× damage; Ground against Steel/Flying is 2 × 0 = no effect. Use the dual-type calculator above to see the full result for any combination.

What changed in the type chart between generations?

Gen 2 added Dark and Steel and fixed Ghost hitting Psychic (it was 0× in Gen 1 due to a bug). Gen 6 added Fairy and removed Steel's resistance to Ghost and Dark. In Gen 1, Bug and Poison were also super effective against each other and Ice was neutral on Fire.

What is the best defensive type combination?

By the numbers, Steel/Fairy and Steel/Ghost-style typings resist the most attacking types with few weaknesses. The table below ranks every typing that exists on a real Pokémon by resistances and immunities minus weaknesses.

What are the best two attacking types for coverage?

Classic pairs like Ice + Ground and Fighting + Ghost hit almost every type at least neutrally. The coverage table below ranks every pair by how many types they hit super effectively.
