Pokemon Type Chart Calculator helps you calculate Gen 6+ type weaknesses, resistances, and immunities for single or dual types. Use the calculator and battle mode to preview matchups, compare multipliers, and find best counters.

This site was built for a Pokémon fan: my elementary school third-grade child first encountered Pokémon ZA, loved it, and that inspired me to create this website for him.

About Pokémon Types

In the world of Pokémon, every Pokémon and every move is assigned one or more elemental types. These types determine how effective an attack will be in battle, making type matchups one of the most important mechanics to master. Each type has its own strengths and weaknesses, both offensively and defensively. Choosing the right type advantage can significantly increase your damage output and give you a strategic edge.

Type Effectiveness Explained

When attacking, the effectiveness of a move depends on how its type interacts with the opponent’s type:

  • Super Effective (2×): Example: Water vs Ground-type Pokémon.
  • Double Super Effective (4×): Example: Water vs Ground/Rock Pokémon.
  • Not Very Effective (0.5×): Example: Fire vs Water-type Pokémon.
  • Double Resistance (0.25×): When both defending types resist the attack.
  • No Effect (0×): Some type combinations completely negate damage (e.g., Electric vs Ground).
  • Neutral (1×): No advantage or disadvantage — standard damage.

Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB)

If a Pokémon uses a move that matches its own type, the move’s power is increased by 1.5×. Example: A Water-type Pokémon using a Water-type move gains STAB. Combined with type advantages, it can stack: 2× (effectiveness) × 2× (dual-type weakness) × 1.5× (STAB) = 6× total damage. Mastering STAB and type matchups is key to building a powerful team.
