Pokémon type chart: weaknesses, strengths, resistances | Updated to 2021 - AS English

Pokémon fights in the franchise's games involve understanding the different types, strengths, weaknesses and resistances amongst creatures. In order to help to understand which Pokemon types beat Fire creatures or what are the strongest against Ghost ones, we have prepared a type chart and an explanation on how they work. This chart is updated to the 8th generation in 2021 so players can use it to play Sword and Shield and also Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl for Nintendo Switch.

How does the types work in Pokémon?

In the recent Pokémon installments we can find 18 Pokemon types. The latest one, Fairy, was introduced in Diamond & Pearl.  Normal, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Ice, Fighting, Poison,  Ground, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, Steel and Fairy. Each Pokémon can have 1 or 2 types. They can have up to 4 moves, or attacks, that also have types. The type of moves is the one that interacts with the type of the defending Pokémon.

When fighting, players should use Pokémon moves that have an advantage over their opponents type so they cause more damage to the rival creatures. If done, they will inflict double damage (x2). It is important to note that some Pokémon are double-type, so their resistances and weaknesses stack. For example, using a Grass-type move against a Groud-Rock type Pokémon will inflict a x4 modifier in the damage since it causes a x2 in each type.

There is another feature to take into consideration when ordering a Pokémon to attack. The STAB or Same Type Attack Bonus implies that when a Pokémon has the same type as the move it is using, it will have a 1,5 damage multiplier. For example, a Grass type Pokémon using a Grass-type move. This can be stacked with the previous mention advantages.
