On this page
In short
- 18 types, with the main series’ matchups.
- The multipliers are those of Explorers of Sky: × 1.4, × 0.7, × 0.5. There is never a full immunity: a Normal hit lands on a Ghost, at half strength.
- Two types multiply: × 1.4 × 1.4 = × 1.96 when both are weak, × 1.4 × 0.7 = × 0.98 when one makes up for the other.

How to read a dual type
A defender with two types takes the product of the two matchups. A Fire hit on a Grass and Bug Pokémon does × 1.4 × 1.4, almost double; an Electric hit on a Water and Ground Pokémon does × 1.4 × 0.5, that is × 0.7, not very effective despite the Water. The battle log sums up the result: super effective, not very effective, or barely any effect.
In French, one word names both the Flying type and the move Fly: the chart above is about the type.
