    Pokémon Go Type chart,


    Type effectiveness and
    weakness explained
    Calculate the damage for any matchup
    with our Type Chart.

    Guide by Chris Tapsell, Staff Writer


    Updated on 13 May 2020

    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.

    Type chart, effectiveness and


    weakness explained in
    Pokémon Go
    Pokémon Go's Types are exactly the same as
    those in the main Pokémon games, but the
    effect of those type matchups is slightly
    different: in brief, things like effective or
    resisted attacks have slightly different
    multipliers to the main Pokémon games -
    although a December 2018 update brought
    them slightly closer in line.

    Here's a Pokémon Go type chart to get you


    started on what's effective against what.

    The Season of Discovery is here! Current


    events, include Season 8 of the Go Battle
    League, the addition of Raid Achievements
    and the Ultra Unlock 2021: Space event.
    During this event, you can battle Kangaskhan
    and Heracross in three-star raids. Meanwhile,
    the last major update saw a level cap
    increase - including the addition of XL Candy,
    boosts to some XP sources and the addition of
    Platinum Medals.

    Pokémon Go type
    effectiveness changes
    compared to other Pokémon
    games
    As you may have noticed, there are also no
    Type immunities in Pokémon Go, unlike in
    the main series. But that's not the end of it.
    The immunities removed are:

    Ground immune to Electric


    Flying immune to Ground
    Ghost immune to Normal and Fighting
    Normal and Fighting immune to Ghost
    Steel immune to Poison
    Dark immune to Psychic
    Fairy immune to Dragon

    ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW

    Instead of a total immunity to damage, these


    initially worked the same as simple
    resitances. Now, however, they've been
    tweaked to form another tier of resistance,
    with the defending Pokémon that would
    normally be immune taking just 0.39 times
    the amount of damage it normally would - in
    other words, type immunity roughly cuts the
    amount of damage received to about a third.

    Here's a full rundown of the multipliers that


    apply to standard, super effective, not very
    effective, immune, and doubly effective
    attacks.

    Not very effective - 0.625x damage,


    instead of the 0.5x damage done in the
    main series.
    Super effecive - 1.6x damage, instead
    of 2x damage done in the main series.
    Immunity - 0.39x damage, instead of 0
    damage done in the main series.
    Doubly effective - 2.56x damage,
    instead of 4x damage done in the main
    series.

    In other words, the latest tweaks to Type


    effectivness brings them noticably closer to
    the multipliers in the mainline games - but
    still not in line with them entirely. It does
    make Type effectiveness all the more
    important though, so it's well worth getting
    to grips with those matchups if you can!

    Ultimately, it's your mastery of three


    elements that will give you the greatest shot
    in PvP and the Gym and Raiding scene: Type
    effectiveness, understanding Pokémon Go's
    moves, and having a good idea of the best
    Pokémon in Pokémon Go.
