is "Super effective" for 2x damage
is "Not very effective" for 0.5x damage
× is "No effect" for 0x damage

Four Types of Damage Changes

◯ is super effective for 2x damage, △is not very effective for 0.5x damage, and moves with no type effectiveness will have their damage nullified.

Types Are Also Set for Moves

In Pokemon, types are set not only for the Pokemon themselves but also for the moves they learn. For the attacker, the move's type affects the damage calculation, and for the defender, the Pokemon's own type is affected.

Multiplier Changes with Double Advantage/Disadvantage

Against a Pokemon with two types, if both types are "super effective," the damage will be 4x. Also, if both types are "not very effective," the damage will be reduced to 0.25x.
