What Are Strengths And Weakness?

4 Types of Damage Resistance / Changes

◯ represents "Super-effective", dealing twice its normal damage. △ represents "Not very effective", dealing half of its normal damage. × represents "No effect", negating all damage and effect of the move.

Each Move Has Specific Types

Each move a Pokemon uses in battle has their own specific types. In a Pokemon Battle, you will need to choose which moves to use depending on the type of your opponent Pokemon and your moves

Type Strength / Weakness Example

Attacking
Move
Defending
Pokemon
Resistance
FireGrassAttacker has advantage
Super-effective
WaterGrassDefender has advantage
Not very effective

Doubled Resistance Effects Damage Output

Some Pokemon have 2 types have a risk of being dealt quadruple damage when both types' weaknesses are exploited. On the other hand, if this Pokemon was hit with a move that is "Not very effective" for both types, only a quarter of the damage will be dealt to this Pokemon.

Damage Multiplier Per Weakness / Resistance

Weakness / ResistanceDamage Multiplier
2 Weaknessesx2.56
1 Weaknessx1.6
No Matchx1
1 Resistancex0.625
