Which is why we’ve put together this handy Pokemon strengths and weaknesses list to help better ingrain the many type advantages and disadvantages into your head. Note: If a specific type of Pokémon or move is neither strong nor weak against a certain type, the damage it does in battle to the opposing type will neither be increased nor decreased.With over 18 different Pokemon types and 324 possible type-combinations, it can be a daunting task to keep track of all the different Pokemon strengths and weaknesses off the top of your head in battle (factor into the equation that there are over 100 new Pokemon added in each generation and you can see how the situation becomes even more complicated).

Listed and described below are the strengths and weaknesses of each of the types of Pokémon and attacks featured in Pokémon GO. While battling gyms in Pokémon GO, the best strategy is to use a Pokémon that is of a type or has a move that is strong against the opponent Pokémon’s type in order to increase the damage inflicted on the opponent Pokémon, and to use a Pokémon against which the opponent Pokémon’s type and/or the opponent Pokémon’s attacks’ types are weak. Many Ice-type moves have chances of freezing the target, which. Their habitats go from the top of mountains, frozen caves and caverns or even the poles. Ice-type Pokmon stand out for being able to endure very low temperatures, as well as adapting to freezing weathers. How Pokémon types and move types work in Pokémon GO is a tad bit different as compared to the mainstream Pokémon games, but the essence is still the same. The Ice type (, Koori taipu) is one of the eighteen Pokmon elemental types. However, if one of a Pokémon’s attacks’ types is weak against the opponent Pokémon’s type, that attack is going to be Not Effective and is going to do 20% less damage. If one of a Pokémon’s attacks’ types is strong against the opponent Pokémon’s type, that attack is going to be Super Effective and is going to do 20% more damage to the opponent Pokémon. In Pokémon GO, Pokémon types and Pokémon attack types play an extremely large role in gym battling. These types are Fire, Grass, Water, Ice, Rock, Ground, Flying, Psychic, Normal, Poison, Bug, Steel, Ghost, Fighting, Electric, Dark, Dragon and Fairy. Like the Pokémon anime and games, Pokémon GO features all 18 currently existing types of Pokémon and Pokémon attacks/moves. While a Pokémon’s type has a lot to do with where that specific Pokémon can be found in the real world and what kinds of attacks it is weak against, it is the types of each of the Pokémon’s two attacks (one tap attack and one charge attack) that ultimately determine what types of Pokémon it is strong against and what types of Pokémon it is weak against.

A Pokémon can have one or two types, and the type a Pokémon belongs to goes on to determine a number of things about that Pokémon, from what types of Pokémon it is strong and weak against and what kinds of moves it has to where the Pokémon can be found in the real world and how effective the Pokémon is in battle.Įach type of Pokémon and attack is strong against some types, weak against some and neutral against others.
