What Is a Pokémon Type Chart?

Winning Pokémon battles comes down to one thing, type matchups. The wrong move wastes a turn. The right one deals double or even quadruple damage.

The Pokémon type chart gives you a complete Pokémon type chart for all 18 types. Check which attacks are super effective, which get resisted, and which do zero damage in seconds. No memorizing hundreds of combinations. Just select your type and get your answer.

How Type Damage Calculator Works

The damage calculator analyzes Pokémon type matchups and instantly calculates the damage multiplier (from 0.25x to 4x) of a move based on the attacker’s and defender’s types.

2x Damage, Super Effective 

Your type has an advantage. Deals double damage. The game shows, “It’s super effective!”

0.5x Damage, Not Very Effective 

The defending type resists your move. Damage drops to half. Avoid these matchups where possible.

0x Damage, Immunity 

Some types take zero damage from certain attacks. Ground moves cannot hit flying types. Electric moves do nothing against Ground types.

Dual-Type Pokemon 

In Pokemon Weakness Chart, If both types are weak to the same attack, it deals 4x damage. If both resist it, only 0.25x gets through. One immunity means zero damage, always.

STAB Bonus 

A Pokémon using a move matching its own type gets a 1.5x boost. Stack this with a type advantage, and you hit for 3x total damage.
