List of type combinations by abundance

The abundance of Pokémon type combinations runs the gamut from the very common Water 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 towards pure Fire, Fire/Psychic, Ice, and Ice/Fire, while Deoxys only counts once towards Psychic. However, Arceus and Silvally are only counted once each under Normal, though the parenthetical total includes these two under each pure type. Of the total 171 possible type combinations, only nine have not yet been assigned to any Pokémon. 18 type combinations have only been assigned to a single Pokémon, and a further 18 that have been assigned to multiple Pokémon are only used in a single evolutionary family. The other 126 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, who has this type combination as of Generation IX. Therefore, Magnemite and Magneton are considered Electric/Steel, Rotom's forms are each counted separately and all of the pre-Generation VI Pokémon that were given the Fairy type are counted as Fairy types rather than the types they had in their introduction generation. For convenience, Arceus and Silvally count only towards the Normal type.

• The top five type combinations (little over 3% of all used combinations) account for approximately 27% of all Pokémon.
