Types
Les types permettent une classification des Pokémon et des attaques. Les Pokémon peuvent avoir un ou deux types tandis que les attaques ne peuvent en avoir qu'un. Si une attaque est de même type que son Pokémon, ses dégâts se voient appliquer un multiplicateur x1,5, aussi appelé STAB (Bonus d'attaque de même type).

Type effectiveness
Each type has a certain damage modifier when interacting with each of the other types, causing moves of a certain type to potentially deal double or half of the move's calculated damage, or even no damage at all. The multipliers for each combination of attacking and defending types are shown in the chart below.

The type on the left is the attacking type while the type on top is the defending type.
Type effectiveness stacks multiplicatively. For example, against a Charizard, a Fire/Flying type:
- Bug has ½× effectiveness against both Fire and Flying, so the multiplier would be reduced to ¼×.
- Steel has ½× effectiveness against Fire and 1× effectiveness against Flying, so the multiplier would remain ½x.
- Normal has 1x effectiveness against both Fire and Flying, so the multiplier would remain 1×.
- Water has 2× effectiveness against Fire and 1× effectiveness against Flying, so the multiplier would remain 2×.
- Rock has 2× effectiveness against both Fire and Flying, so the multiplier would become 4×.
- Ice has ½× effectiveness against Fire but 2× effectiveness against Flying, so the combined multiplier would be 1×.
- Ground has 2× effectiveness against Fire but 0× effectiveness against Flying, so the multiplier would become 0× and the move would deal no damage.
Type effectiveness usually has no effect on status moves. There are some exceptions to this, such as Stealth Rock and Thunder Wave.
