{{Types|diamond|* 1}}
'''Types''' (Japanese: '''タイプ''' ''Type'') are properties applied to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and their [[move]]s, which affect the power of moves in [[Pokémon battle|battle]]s. As of [[Generation VI]], there are 18 types, as listed to the right. Most of these  were introduced during [[Generation I]], but the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} types were introduced in [[Generation II]], and the {{t|Fairy}} type was introduced in Generation VI. A unique {{t|???}} type also existed from Generations II through {{gen|IV}}. During [[Generation I]], types were occasionally referred to as '''elements'''. The types are based on the concept of {{wp|classical elements in popular culture}}.

A Pokémon may have either one or two types. For instance, {{p|Charmander}} is a {{t|Fire}} type, while {{p|Bulbasaur}} is both a {{t|Grass}} type and a {{t|Poison}} type. With this system and there currently being 18 types, there is a total of 324 possible ways to assign types to Pokémon, with 171 unique [[List of type combinations by abundance|combinations]], 155 of which have been used as of [[Generation VIII]]. Similar to Pokémon, [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] also have types.

All moves have exactly one type each. The type of a damaging move typically determines which types of Pokémon it is super effective against, which types of Pokémon it is not very effective against, and which types of Pokémon it is completely ineffective against (with [[: Category:Moves that have special type effectiveness properties|very few exceptions]]). If the type of a move matches one of the types of the Pokémon using it, it gains a [[Same-type attack bonus|boost in power]].

Most [[Gym Leader]]s and members of the [[Elite Four]] are designed to have a [[Type expert|type-specific theme]].

==Type effectiveness==

:''"Super effective" redirects here. For the webcomic, see [[Super Effective (webcomic)]].''
:''"It's super effective" redirects here. For the podcast, see [[It's Super Effective (podcast)]].''
:''"Weakness" and "Resistance" redirect here. For the TCG mechanics, see [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Weakness|Appendix:Glossary (TCG) → Weakness]]'' and ''[[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Resistance|Appendix:Glossary (TCG) → Resistance]].''

Damaging moves typically vary in '''effectiveness''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果|こうか}}''' ''effectiveness'') depending on the move's type and the type(s) of its target.

Type effectiveness greatly influences how much [[damage]] moves deal:
* If the type of a move is '''super effective''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果はバツグン|こうかはばつぐん}}''' ''super effective'') against a type of its target, the damage is doubled;
* If the type of a move is '''not very effective''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果は今一つ|こうかはいまひとつ}}''' ''not very effective'') against a type of its target, the damage is halved;
* If the type of a move is '''not effective''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果がない|こうかがない}}''' ''not effective'') against a type of its target, the target is completely immune to it, and the move will deal no damage.

For targets that have multiple types, the type effectiveness of a move is the product of its effectiveness against each of the types:
* If the type of a move is super effective against both of the opponent's types (such as a {{type|Ground}} move used against a {{2t|Steel|Rock}} Pokémon), then the move does 4 times (250% in Legends: Arceus) the damage.
* If the type of a move is not very effective against both of the opponent's types (such as a {{type|Fighting}} move used against a {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon), then the move only does ¼ (40% in Legends: Arceus) of the damage.
* If the type of a move is super effective against one of the opponent's types but not very effective against the other (such as a {{type|Grass}} move used against a {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon), then the move deals regular damage.
* If the type of move is completely ineffective against one of the opponent's types, then the move does no damage regardless of how the Pokémon’s other type would be affected (as in an {{type|Electric}} move used against a {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon).

[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] uses a different calculation for type effectiveness against multiple types:
* If the type of a move is super effective against both of the opponent's types, then the move does 2.5 times the damage (instead of 4).
* If the type of a move is not very effective against both of the opponent's types, then the move does 0.4 times the damage (instead of 0.25).
* Type effectiveness multipliers remain the same otherwise.

The moves {{m|Flying Press}}, {{m|Freeze-Dry}}, and {{m|Thousand Arrows}} have custom interactions with defending types and do not strictly obey the type chart. {{type|Fire}} moves double in effectiveness against Pokémon affected by {{m|Tar Shot}}. {{cat|Moves that deal direct damage}} (including [[one-hit knockout move]]s) do not employ effectiveness, although since [[Generation II]] Pokémon are immune to them based on type interactions. Certain {{Abilities}}, [[held item]]s, or types of [[weather]] (such as {{a|Levitate}}, the [[Ring Target]], or [[strong winds]], respectively) may modify the effectiveness of specific types of moves.

[[Status move]]s typically do not employ type effectiveness; however, {{type|Ground}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Thunder Wave}} based on type interactions, and {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Glare}} based on type interactions in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}} only. Furthermore, status moves may be unable to affect Pokémon based on type-related interactions other than effectiveness; for example, {{type|Poison}} Pokémon cannot be afflicted with {{status|poison}} and are thus unaffected by {{m|Poison Gas}}.

Different sounds are played depending on the effectiveness of a move, with super effective attacks having a different sound from the normal hit, and not very effective attacks also having a distinct sound. Moves with no effect do not play a sound at all.

===Type chart===
:''For type charts from previous generations, see [[Type/Type chart]]''

A '''type chart''', also known as '''type matchup chart''', shows which modifiers are applied to [[move]] types when attacking {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of each type. If the defending Pokémon has two types, the two modifiers will be multiplied together: a {{type|Flying}} move would hit for 4× damage on a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon, while a {{type|Ground}} move used against the same would do only a quarter of the regular damage. (A complete ineffectiveness against either type will make the move deal no damage, since 0 multiplied by any number is 0.)

The type chart differs depending on the [[generation]] of {{pkmn|games}} it is from. The type chart for [[Generation VI]] onward is shown below.

In [[Inverse Battle]]s, a different type chart is used that essentially inverts the regular type chart, turning immunities and resistances into weaknesses, and weaknesses into resistances.

===Dual-type damage misinformation glitch===
{{main|List of glitches (Generation I)#Dual-type damage misinformation|List of glitches (Generation I) → Dual-type damage misinformation}}
In [[Generation I]] only, if a damaging move is used on a Pokémon with two types such that one of its types is weak to the move and the other type resists the move, it will correctly receive neutral damage, but the incorrect message will be displayed on-screen. This does not occur in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.

==Type-affected game mechanics==
Prior to [[Generation IV]], the [[damage category|category]] of damaging moves only depends on the move's type (except for [[Shadow moves]]); for example, all {{type|Normal}} damaging moves are [[physical move]]s and all {{type|Water}} damaging moves are [[special move]]s. From [[Generation IV]] onward, each individual move has a [[damage category]] that is independent of its type.

When the type of a move matches one of the types of the Pokémon using it, the attack power will be increased by 50%. This is referred to as [[same-type attack bonus]], or STAB for short. As an example, an {{p|Aron}} that knows the {{type|Steel}} move {{m|Metal Claw}} will have the move's power increased by 50% because one of Aron's types is Steel; the power of {{m|Cut}} would not be increased as Normal is not one of Aron's types.

Some Pokémon types are immune to certain status moves or effects. For example, {{type|Grass}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Leech Seed}}, and {{type|Ice}} Pokémon are not damaged by {{weather|Hail}}.

Some moves, field effects, {{Abilities}}, and [[held item]]s affect moves of a certain type. {{m|Sunny Day}}, for example, causes {{type|Fire}} moves to increase in power, while {{a|Levitate}} causes {{type|Ground}} moves to not work on the Pokémon with this Ability. Likewise, each type has a [[Type-enhancing item|specific held item]] that can be given to a Pokémon that will power up one of the specific types by 20% (or 10%, prior to Generation IV), such as the [[Metal Coat]] for {{type|Steel}} moves.

{{cat|moves that change a Pokémon's type|Some moves}} can change the type of a Pokémon. For example, {{m|Camouflage}} changes the user's type to a type corresponding to the battlefield terrain. Abilities can also change the type of a Pokémon. These abilities include {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Multitype}}, {{a|Protean}}, {{a|RKS System}}, and {{a|Libero}}.

Additionally, the type of {{cat|moves that change type|some moves}} may depend on the circumstances they are used in; for example, {{m|Weather Ball}} may be Fire-, Water-, Ice-, Rock-, or Normal-type depending on the [[weather]] it is used in. Additionally, there are {{cat|Abilities that can modify move types}} as well as exactly three moves: ({{m|Electrify}}, {{m|Ion Deluge}}, and {{m|Plasma Fists}}).

When a Pokémon has two types, those two types are always listed in an order specific to the Pokémon. This order is mostly aesthetic, but it affects {{m|Present}} in [[Generation II]] and {{m|Revelation Dance}}.

==??? type==
{{main|??? (type)}}
The ??? type is the only type to have been removed from the [[core series]] games. The ??? type only existed from [[Generation II]] to [[Generation IV]] and was primarily used in the core series as the type of the move {{m|Curse}}. It was removed in [[Generation V]], and Curse became a {{type|Ghost}} move. The ??? type deals and takes regular damage from all other types, though this is never seen in the core series<!--but is outside of it, e.g. Shadow Rush in Colosseum only, where it is specifically listed as ???-type, Weather Ball in Shadow Sky, Mystery Dungeon-exclusive moves--> due to no Pokémon nor damaging moves having the type.

==Shadow==
[[Shadow move]]s do not display any type on the [[summary]] or battle menus. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], they deal regular damage against all Pokémon, while in {{Pokémon XD}}, they are super effective against non-[[Shadow Pokémon]] and not very effective against Shadow Pokémon.

==Typeless==
There are situations where Pokémon or moves behave as if they were typeless, unable to receive {{STAB}} and boosts from [[type-enhancing item]]s or {{cat|type-enhancing Abilities|Abilities}}. This is most commonly possible through effects that make one lose a type, such as {{m|Burn Up}} and {{m|Roost}}. Typeless Pokémon take regular damage from all moves, and typeless moves deal regular damage against all Pokémon.

{{m|Struggle}} acts typelessly from [[Generation II]] onward. The move {{m|Weather Ball}} acts typelessly under [[shadowy aura]], and the move {{m|Revelation Dance}} acts typelessly if used by a typeless user (in which case it does not receive {{STAB}}). {{m|Beat Up}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, and {{m|Doom Desire}} deal typeless damage before [[Generation V]].

Typeless damage will ignore {{a|Wonder Guard}}.

A typeless Pokémon has no types displayed on its battle summary.

==Glitch types==
{{main|Glitch type}}

The [[glitch type]]s are types which only appear through the use of glitches, such as on the types of [[glitch Pokémon]]. Most famously this includes the {{t|Bird}} type, which was intentionally programmed into the code of the Generation I and II games but was not given to any real Pokémon. Other glitch types are the result of the game reading other data as if it were types. Like the ??? type, all glitch types, except 'l) m) ZM, have no special effectiveness (they both inflict regular damage against all types and take regular damage from all types).

==Icons==
In [[Generations]] {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the [[core series]] games just used the type's name, with the only icons being in [[Pokémon Stadium series]] games.

In {{g|GO}}, icons were introduced to represent each of the types during gameplay. Very similar icons were later adopted into the core series, starting with [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] and then following up with the subsequent core series games and {{g|HOME}}.

In {{g|X and Y}}, a different set of type icons were used as decorations for the floor of [[Diantha]]'s {{pkmn|Champion}} room.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{main|Damage modification (Mystery Dungeon)}}
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], the matchup multipliers are 0.5×, 0.9×, 1× and 1.5×. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the multipliers have been changed to 0.5×, 0.7×, 1× and 1.4×; if either the attacker or the defender has Erratic Player IQ skill, they are 0.25×, 0.5×, 1× and 1.7×, instead. Immunities provided from Abilities or moves, such as {{a|Levitate}} or {{m|Magnet Rise}}, are still 0×.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], moves that are ineffective in the core series are now ineffective as well (0× damage).

===Pokémon Ranger series===
In the [[Pokémon Ranger series]], each Pokémon has a group, equivalent to a type in the core series. The effectiveness of [[Poké Assist]]s on [[wild Pokémon]] is dependent on the Pokémon's group.

===Pokémon Rumble series===
In the [[Pokémon Rumble series]], the type effectiveness chart differs from the equivalent type chart in contemporaneous core series games. Moves that are ineffective in the core series deal 0.6× damage instead, moves that would be not very effective against one or both of the target's types deal ~0.8× or ~0.7× damage, respectively, and moves that would be super effective against one or both of the target's types deal ~1.2× and ~1.4× damage, respectively. <!--These calculations were only checked in Rumble World.-->

===Pokémon Battrio===
{{main|Type (Battrio)}}
Pokémon in [[Pokémon Battrio]] all have one type in line with one of their types in the core games. Battrio also includes two unique types exclusively for {{p|Arceus}}, the Full Plate and Eleven-Plate types.

Pokémon Battrio's type effectiveness chart is also unique, with different possible strengths for weaknesses or resistances. For example, while Grass-type Pokémon are weak to both Ice- and Fire-type moves, they are weaker to Fire-type moves than to Ice-type moves.

Players with a [[Pokémon Battrio#Memory Keys|Memory Key]] can also gain experience towards different types that will level up their {{DL|Type (Battrio)|Type Levels}}, granting Pokémon of that type a bonus in Attack or HP.

===Pokémon Shuffle===
{{main|Pokémon Shuffle#Type|Pokémon Shuffle → Type}}
Pokémon in [[Pokémon Shuffle]] each only have one type. Pokémon Shuffle's type effectiveness chart is also slightly different than the contemporaneous Generation VI chart, with 0× effectivenesses turned into ½× effectiveness.

===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], type effectiveness multipliers differ from the core series games, but using the same type effectiveness chart.

The multiplier Pokémon GO is 1.6<sup>n</sup> (1.4 prior to December 12, 2018 and 1.25 prior to June 21, 2017). The exponent ''n'' starts at 0, with weakness adding 1, resistance substracting 1, and an immunity being equal to a double resistance, subtracting 2.

As such, the following multipliers are possible:

|×0.244140625
|}

===Pokémon UNITE===
There are no type advantages in [[Pokémon UNITE]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Type (TCG)}}
There are eleven types in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], significantly fewer than the in other Pokémon media. Because of the smaller number of types, Pokémon often have different types in the TCG to other Pokémon media. Due to the fact that Pokémon in the TCG can usually only have one type, dual-type Pokémon often have different cards which correspond to the Pokémon's two different types, since type is a property of the individual card and not the species. In the TCG, moves do not have their own type. Instead, for {{TCG|Weakness}} and {{TCG|Resistance}}, the type of the Pokémon card is used instead.
