List of type combinations by abundance

The abundance of Pokémon type combinations runs the gamut from the very common Normal type to unique combinations such as Ice/Ghost or Electric/Dark.

There are 324 possible ways to assign types to Pokémon (18 single types and 18 * 17 dual types). However, the game makes no distinction between a Pokémon's first and second types when calculating damage; that is, a Pokémon which is Dark/Ghost is treated the same as one that is Ghost/Dark. Therefore, instead of considering every permutation, this list will only consider type combinations, of which there are 171 (18 single and 18 * 17 / 2 dual). This means that Pokémon such as Spiritomb and Sableye will be treated as having the same type.

For the purposes of this list, each form with a different type than another of the same Pokémon's forms counts as a different Pokémon. For example, Darmanitan counts once each toward pure Fire, Fire/Psychic, Ice, and Ice/Fire, while Deoxys only counts once toward Psychic. However, Arceus and Silvally are only counted once each under Normal.

Of the total 171 possible type combinations, 15 have not yet been assigned to any Pokémon. 24 type combinations have only been assigned to a single Pokémon, and a further 27 that have been assigned to multiple Pokémon are only used in a single evolutionary family. The other 105 type combinations have been assigned to multiple unrelated Pokémon.

All type combinations and their abundance

In the table below, each column counts the number of Pokémon of that type introduced in that generation (with some exceptions). The Total column counts all Pokémon in the National Pokédex as of Generation VIII.

In the Generation I column below, Magnemite and Magneton are considered Electric/Steel even though they did not gain the Steel type until Generation II. In the Generation IV column, Rotom's forms are each counted separately even though they were not assigned separate types until Generation V. All of the pre-Generation VI Pokémon that were given the Fairy type are also counted as Fairy types rather than as their original types for their generation. Again, for convenience, Arceus and Silvally count only toward the Normal type.

• The top five type combinations (little over 3% of all used combinations) account for approximately 28% of all Pokémon.
