Understanding Pokémon types is super important for anyone who wants to win in battles, that’s why a Pokémon type chart is such a handy tool! These charts display the effectiveness of different Pokémon types against each other. Each Pokémon has one or two types, such as Fire, Rock, Grass, or Electric, which determine their strengths and weaknesses in combat.
I have played every Pokémon game, but still find myself Googling to find what type is stronger than another type. My hope with this article is to avoid you having to waste time by looking type information up. With the chart I’ve included below, that’s all you’ll need!
Understanding the Basics of Pokémon Types
Pokémon types are fundamental characteristics that define the nature and abilities of each Pokémon. There are 18 types in total, you’ll be able to see each below, and each type comes with its unique strengths and weaknesses.
For example, Fire-type Pokémon, such as Vulpix, are strong against Grass and Ice types but weak against Water and Rock types. Water-type Pokémon, like Oshawott, are excellent against Fire and Ground types but are vulnerable to Electric and Grass types.
It’s crucial to understand type interactions in Pokémon battles because they allow you to exploit your opponent’s weaknesses and protect your Pokémon from large amounts of damage.
