Knowing the Pokémon type chart is one of the most important elements to becoming a top trainer. Whether you’re new to the series or want to double-check something in an important battle, we’ve got you covered. After all, memorising all 898 Pokémon’s weaknesses and resistances is nigh-impossible, so it’s always worth checking back to be sure your team is in good shape.
The majority of the type chart has remained the same over the years, but there have been a few changes. In Generation 2, Dark and Steel types were added, while in Generation 6 (Pokémon X and Pokémon Y) the Fairy type was added. Below are the differences compared to the current type chart. The charts can be seen on the Old Type Charts page.
Type Chart methods of representing Type effectiveness have been popular since long before Pokémon Go, with all of the core Pokémon games revolving around them.
In brief, Pokémon types dictate whether one Pokémon is either strong or weak - super effective or not very effective - against another, dealing additional or reduced damage as a result - and receiving additional or reduced damamage - as a result.
The standard Type chart that has evolved through the different generations will be like a second language to long-term Pokémon fans, but to newcomers it can appear too daunting to even know where to begin, so with that in mind we've put together a type chart of our own, as well as an explanation of how Type effectivness works and how to plan around it, just below.
