What is a Pokémon weakness chart?

A Pokémon weakness chart shows how each attacking type performs against each defending type, including super-effective, resisted and immune matchups.

How do I read the type chart?

Find the attacking type row and the defending type column. The value where they meet is the damage multiplier for that matchup.

What do 4×, 2×, ½× and ¼× mean?

A 4× or 2× result is a weakness, 1× is neutral, ½× and ¼× are resistances, and 0× means the attack has no effect based on typing.

How do dual-type weaknesses work?

The defensive multiplier from each type is multiplied together. Two 2× weaknesses become 4×, while a 2× weakness and a ½× resistance become neutral.

Why does a Pokémon have a 4× weakness?

A 4× weakness occurs when both of the Pokémon’s defensive types are weak to the same attacking type.

Can I search a Pokémon’s weaknesses?

Yes. Search by Pokémon name or Pokédex number to see its base defensive weaknesses, resistances and immunities.

Does the lookup include abilities?

No. Results use base typing only. Abilities such as Levitate or Thick Fat are not applied on this page.

Does the chart include held items or Tera Types?

No. Held items, Tera Types, moves and other battle effects are not included in the base matchup results.

Are Pokémon forms calculated separately?

Forms with different typings are listed separately and use the typing of the selected form.

Does this use the modern type chart?

Yes. The main chart uses the modern 18-type rules. Some older Pokémon games use different type relationships.

Is this a damage calculator?

No. The chart shows type-effectiveness multipliers only. It does not calculate move power, stats, weather, abilities or final battle damage.

Can I check an entire team?

Use Pokémon Team Builder for basic shared team weaknesses, or Pokémon Team Planner for moves, abilities, game rules and deeper coverage analysis.

How to Read the Pokémon Weakness Chart

Choose an attacking type from the left side and a defending type from the top. The cell where they meet shows the damage multiplier before moves, abilities, items or other battle effects are applied.

Fire attacking Grass = 2× · Fire attacking Water = ½× · Normal attacking Ghost = 0×

How Dual-Type Weaknesses Work

The two defensive multipliers are multiplied together.

2× × 2× = 4× · 2× × ½× = 1× · ½× × ½× = ¼× · 0× × any multiplier = 0×

Grass is weak to Fire, while Poison takes normal damage from Fire. Grass / Poison therefore takes 2× damage from Fire.

Both Rock and Ground are weak to Water, so Rock / Ground takes 4× damage from Water.
