Synopsis

The song begins with Pikachu playing a short melody on a Poké Flute, while music notes appear in the background. A Chatot then appears and the two both immediately take off, revealing the song's title. Four sequences of two Pokémon types are shown, with each sequence involving eight Pokémon (one from each generation) of the opposing types facing off against each other in a manner similar to the game tug of war. The type with the better advantage ends up winning, and the losing type has all of its Pokémon pushed off the screen. A wheel-like diagram composed of various icons representing the 18 types is shown, with lines drawn between some of them to form a web representing all the possible matchups. A quiz-like segment is shown, where Pikachu and Grookey both ask the viewer which Pokémon type is more likely to win (usually either Grass vs. Rock or Water vs. Electric), with footage of certain Pokémon of said types being shown, as a timer counts down. Once the timer runs out, the correct answer is shown. A wheel depicing random icons representing different types is shown spinning, with every time the wheel stops on a certain wedge depicting the types featured, the wedge briefly shows images of various Pokémon of that type. A guessing game-like segment is then shown, where Grookey shows the viewer an image of a random Pokémon to the viewer, while Pikachu holds a sign showing an icon representing said Pokémon's type. The song ends with Pikachu playing the Poké Flute once more, while Grookey taps its stick to the music, with both Pokémon being surrounded by pictures of various random Pokémon of each type, all associated with either a certain generation or specific groups, except for the Electric- and Grass-types, as both Pikachu and Grookey already represent those two types, respectively.

Fire is super effective against Grass
Burning embers are h-h-h-h-hot
Grass is super effective against Water
They'll grow even more, and quickly too
Water is super effective against Rock
Before you know it, they're all muddy
Rock is super effective against Fire
They don't care how much they burn

Learning the 18 types and their matchups
Now, let's figure this out!

A Grass-type quickly taking root
And a stiff and hard Rock-type
Which type will be super effective?

Grass!

There are various Pokémon with varying types as well
Each full of interesting characteristics
What are the types of everyone's Pokémon?
If you get to know them, you'll like them even more

Their bodies don't even feel numb
Electric is super effective against Flying
The sky rumbles with thunder
Flying is super effective against Bug
They'll be seen from high up in the sky

Learning the 18 types and their matchups
Now, let's figure this out!

A swiftly swimming Water-type
And a shockingly flowing Electric-type
Which type will be super effective?

Electric!
