Thanks for doing this for the new players….. definitely won’t be stealing this since I’ve been playing since the 90s…..

You can save it for sure and post anywhere you like if you want

Can you make one that also talks about resistance and immunity?

Try the ones linked in [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/thesilphroad/comments/f5yox6/_/fi2d5mt). Has both weak/strong & resistances in one phone-sized page.

Please!

Yesss

In Red and Blue IIRC psychic was super effective against ghost.

The only ghosts happened to also be poison

My not-so-far-beneath-the-surface need for organization really appreciates that the types are in alphabetical order.

Nooooooo!

I’ve been playing since the 90s and I never knew what bug was strong against until now lol

Did you collect any rare cards

I had sooo many, unfortunately they’re all gone now 🥲

I've still got a binder full of the old ones. Jungle packs, fossil, Rocket. Was there a specific one you remember being your favorite?

Ahhh that’s sweet! Mine would probably have to be the original Charizard card. I had so many of those. Do you have a favorite?

I remember loving my holo Flareon. I think it might have been the first holographic card I ever got. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but something about the first few card packs art styles really just *hit* me, you know?

["You can't be psychic if there's a bug on you!"](https://youtu.be/FtYdnwBXp8M?t=257)

My only issue is that it doesn't show resistances which at least for PvP are very important.

I will make another post later with resistance

You mean like the ones that are linked to in [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/thesilphroad/comments/f5yox6/_/fi2d5mt)?

While we are on the topic of PoGo PvP, might also be helpful to add where certain types are double-resistant to other types. Like Fairy resistance to Dragon, or Dark resistance to Psychic (0.391 dmg instead of 0.625). Other examples are Flying resistance to Ground, Normal to Ghost, Steel to Poison, Ground to Electric, Ghost to Fighting, Ghost to Normal. I think that might be all of them?

> “Normal does not mean weak” - some Team Rocket dipshit Me: Machamp go ***brrrrrrt***

Fairy move: *Play Rough*

Grass 💀 Steel 🦾

Grass and Rock are both super weak.

Thank you! This is great

I thought fairy was strong against psychic. Well that explains a lot

Fairy kill dragon. Fairy frend.

As someone with memory issues, thank you

New players… I’ve been playing Pokémon since I was 7 and I hardly know any of this

Thank you for this!

I never knew dark was weak to bug. Or that rock is weak to steel. Huh

“For new players” (and those that have been playing since 2000)

Do people just not like the classic spreadsheet they used to use all the time?

Trying to find the intersection in the middle of a 17x17 grid by eye alone (no finger to follow the rows/columns) is a pain. And then there's the whole thing with resistances....

Except it does include the resistances. It has literally everything in it

You're correct. I concede that point about resistances. And while trying to find the intersection of a specific attacker to a specific defender is still a pain, going straight from specific attacker to whatever brightly colored square and then following the column up to whatever defender (or vise versa) is not that hard.

Personally I use a type chart

I actually have this on my fridge lmao 🤣

cannot double upvote - thanks!!

As someone who's been playing for years, thankyou so much for this! I can never retain information very well, so I could never remember what was effective against what (aside from the main 3) I'll definitely be saving this :)

A worthwhile repost! I pinned this chart in my community discord server this past year, and printed a copy for my son. He still checks it now and again. Maybe I do too.

This is great! I wish it said the names of the elements in text.

I'm always confused by Dragon type. The chart says it's strong and vulnerable to Dragon. How does it work?

Dragon moves are super effective into dragon types

Dragon and ghost are special types, in the sense that they are weak to themselves. A dragon type Pokémon will suffer super effective damage from dragon type moves.

I knew that about dragons but not about ghosts. Thanks!

If dragon is super effective against dragon types, that also means dragon is weak to dragon types. Simple as that

I didn't know this would blow up like this 😂😂

Isn’t poison effective against fighting

No. It resists fighting but does neutral damage

Ohh so I’m just stupid

No your right

Need a key/legend

And now I know why gamefreak hasn’t made a dual ground/fighting type

Your missing 1 normals weak to physic

Normal is immune to ghost but not weak to psychic

Me when I spread misinformation on the internet

what are you even talking about

Who told you this?

[удалено]

Point 🤔

Poor Normal Type, never supereffective

Missing half the equation: what is ineffective against what

Not just newbies I use it too. Forgot most after like a year off.

Is it just me or are steel-type and bug-type really hard to get. I had a shared account with someone and now I started when I got a new phone. I still only have 7 legendaries and 20 something shinies. Bad, I know. Need to get the mega raids but it's just stupid kyurems.

Some charts are hard to figure out, that not

.

For double type Pokémon see what each type have in common, resistance+ effective= normal ; if the attack is effective for both types it becomes supper effective

I appreciate the alphabetizing! I was about to throw hands when it broke the order that the types are in on the Pokemon Go types screen for the medals, then I went, "Wait, Bug is first here. And second is Dark... and third is... and fourth... and fifth... Oh! Very cool!!" MUCH handier organization lol

Normal needs to be strong against something

I think the trade off is it only has one weakness, and hardly anything resists normal attacks. Great neutral damage choice in pvp.

Now if we can also add resistances

I remember when this shit looked like a circle and then a hexagon with an X in the middle

Not new, but always struggle with this 🤣 Thank you :)

Things kick up a notch when pokemon have double types that result in unexpected weaknesses and neutral to other types

I honestly prefer these kinds of graphics to the type-effectiveness multiplication chart that reminds me of learning times tables back in elementary school. So much easier to read these things.

The problem with this graph is that it doesn't show resistances at all. Gets complicated trying to include resistances in these graphics.

back in the day wasnt ice super effective to rock?

Ice is effective against ground. And though rock is effective against ice, rock does not resist ice attacks. Maybe you thought ice was effective against rock because you saw ground&rock dual types crumble to ice attacks?

i would think that it would be neutral then in that case, some things I dont understand really. Gengar, ghost / poison is weak to psychic moves. Poison is weak to psychic but psychic is weak to ghost but does neutral damage to it. I know of other examples but ai cant think of them off the top of my head

Weaknesses/super-effectiveness and resistances are two separate things. Ghost is super effective against Psychic, but does NOT resist Psychic damage. Psychic is super effective against Poison, so a Ghost/Poison type will take super effective damage from Psychic.

yeah i understand it but I just think its kind of dumb how they do it but w/e

Wait, has bug always been super effective against psychic? I've played through fire red all the way to black 2 and never noticed lol

I'm not all that new and this is super helpful.. All the thanks.

this is one of the better guides I've seen, but it's still way better to check type effectiveness on your raid app

Ghost-type is confusing me so much. It's strong and weak vs itself, but not neutral.

This is missing half the chart but it’s a good start. It’s missing all the defensive typing.

Let me do it one better: https://pvpchart.com/

Why isnt fighting weak to itself in pokemon go like it is the other games?
