Battle notes
- Tauros's Normal typing is best attacked with Fighting (2x). Start with those attacking types when choosing moves or counter Pokémon.
- Avoid relying on common Ghost attacks unless they have unusually high power or a secondary purpose, because Tauros resists or ignores those matchups.
- This guide uses the modern Gen 6+ type chart only. Abilities, held items, Terastallization, weather, fields, and special move rules can still change real battle outcomes.

Tauros's base defensive typing is Normal. The weakness chart multiplies both types when a Pokémon has two types, so a matchup can become 4x, 2x, 1x, 0.5x, 0.25x, or 0x.
