Quickly analyze type coverage, weaknesses, and resistances for any Pokemon or type combination.
Understanding type effectiveness is crucial for any Pokemon trainer, whether you're playing Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Gen 9) or classic titles. Our Pokemon Type Calculator helps you instantly find weaknesses, resistances, and immunities for any single or dual-type Pokemon.
Every attack in the game has a type modifier. A standard attack deals 1x damage. If a move is Super Effective, it deals 2x damage. If it's Not Very Effective, it deals 0.5x damage. Immunities result in 0x damage, meaning the attack has no effect at all.
Many Pokemon possess two types (e.g., Charizard is Fire/Flying). Weaknesses stack! If both types are weak to the same element (like Rock vs. Fire/Flying), the damage multiplier becomes 4x. Conversely, resistances can cancel out weaknesses.
While it depends on the strategy, the **Steel** type is often considered the best defensive type due to its numerous resistances, while **Fairy** and **Dragon** are top-tier offensive types in Gen 9.
To calculate dual type effectiveness, multiply the modifiers of both types. For example, if both types are weak to Water, the Pokemon takes 4x damage.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Gen 9) maintains the 18 standard types but introduces the **Terastal** phenomenon, allowing Pokemon to change their type mid-battle.
Yes, **Immunities** result in 0x damage. For example, Ghost types are immune to Normal and Fighting moves, and Ground types are immune to Electric attacks.
I'm always looking to improve PokeTypes. Whether it's a feature request or a bug report, I'd love to hear from you!
