{{ElementalTypes|diamond|* 1}}
A '''type chart''' shows which modifiers are applied to [[move]] [[Elemental types|types]] when attacking [[Pokémon]] of each type. Please note that this only covers single types, not pairs. To get a dual-typed Pokémon's matchup against a specific move type, go across the table's columns to each of the types, see what the effectiveness of the move is against both, and multiply the effectiveness together: in this way a {{type2|Flying}} move would hit for 4× damage on a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon, while a {{type2|Ground}} move used against the same would do only a quarter of its normal damage. The type chart differs depending on the [[generation]] of [[Pokémon games|games]] it is from.
An '''elemental type''' is a property for [[Pokémon]] and their [[moves]]. Each elemental type has three properties: which types of Pokémon it is effective against, which types of Pokémon it is less effective against, and which types of Pokémon it is completely ineffective against. All games before the [[Generation IV|fourth generation]] also made [[damage category|a distinction]] between [[Physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s based on their type, though this is now dependent on the move itself. There are 17 types, each of which is listed to the right.


A Pokémon may have either one or two types. For instance, {{p|Charmander}} is a {{type2|Fire}}, while {{p|Bulbasaur}} is both a {{type2|Grass}} and a {{type2|Poison}}. A move may have only one type, although the in-game descriptions of {{m|Blaze Kick|some}} {{m|Muddy Water|moves}} may make it seem like the move has two types.
==Generation I==
This system is no longer in use, and was revamped in [[Generation II]] to adjust some ratios and to add the {{t|Dark}}- and {{type2|Steel}}s.

If the type of a move used by a Pokémon is strong against the opponent's type, then the damage done is twice the normal; if a move's type is weak against a specific type, then the damage done is half the normal damage done. Note that this effect is multiplied, e.g if a move's type is strong against both of the opponent's types (such as {{m|Dig}}, a {{type2|Ground}} move on an {{P|Aggron}}, a {{t|Steel}}/{{t|Rock}} Pokémon), then the move does 4 times the damage.

If a move's type is completely ineffective due to the opposing Pokémon's type, then the damage done by the move is zero. Otherwise, the damage will be at the very least 1HP.
==Differences==
The biggest difference between the two charts is the addition of the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} types to the second chart. Among relationships that were already in the chart, {{t|Bug}} was made 0.5x effective against {{t|Poison}} instead of 2x, Poison was changed from 2x to 1x against Bug, and Bug was changed from 1x to 0.5x against {{t|Ghost}}. Ghost was made super-effective against {{t|Psychic}}, as opposed to not effective at all. Also, {{t|Ice}} was adjusted to deal 0.5x damage to {{t|Fire}} as opposed to 1x.


Some [[weather conditions]], [[abilities]], and [[held item]]s affect moves of a certain type. {{m|Sunny Day}}, for example, causes {{type2|Fire}} moves to increase in power, while {{a|Levitate}} causes {{type2|Ground}} moves to not work on the Pokémon with this ability. Likewise, each type has a specific item that can be given to a Pokémon to hold that will power up one of the specific types, such as the [[Metal Coat]], which powers up {{type2|Steel}} moves by 10% (20% as of Generation IV).
==See also==
 
*[[Elemental type]]
When the type of an attack corresponds with one of the types of the Pokémon using it, the attack power will be increased by 50%. This type advantage is referred to as [[Same-type attack bonus]], or STAB for short. A good example is an {{p|Aron}} that knows {{m|Metal Claw}} and {{m|Cut}}. Both attacks are physical attacks and both have a base power of 50. However because Aron is a {{t|Steel}}/{{t|Rock}} Pokémon, the power of its Metal Claw move will be multiplied by 1.5.
 
Within the [[Pokémon anime|anime]] and the games, most [[Gym Leader]]s and members of the [[Elite Four]] are designed to have a type-specific theme.
 
There are several glitch types, such as {{t|Bird}}, {{t|Pokémaniac}}, and {{t|999}}, which only appear in [[Generation I|the earliest games in the series]] due to the ease at which their code is glitched. The Bird-type also makes a return in [[Generation II]], however, it is solely due to the fact that the coding of the Generation II games was based on that of Generation I, where Bird was, unlike the other two mentioned, initially programmed to be a legitimate type, apparently.

Revision as of 12:48, 18 November 2009

A type chart shows which modifiers are applied to move types when attacking Pokémon of each type. Please note that this only covers single types, not pairs. To get a dual-typed Pokémon's matchup against a specific move type, go across the table's columns to each of the types, see what the effectiveness of the move is against both, and multiply the effectiveness together: in this way a Template:Type2 move would hit for 4× damage on a Bug/Grass Pokémon, while a Template:Type2 move used against the same would do only a quarter of its normal damage. The type chart differs depending on the generation of games it is from.

Generation I

This system is no longer in use, and was revamped in Generation II to adjust some ratios and to add the Dark- and Template:Type2s.

Differences

The biggest difference between the two charts is the addition of the Dark and Steel types to the second chart. Among relationships that were already in the chart, Bug was made 0.5x effective against Poison instead of 2x, Poison was changed from 2x to 1x against Bug, and Bug was changed from 1x to 0.5x against Ghost. Ghost was made super-effective against Psychic, as opposed to not effective at all. Also, Ice was adjusted to deal 0.5x damage to Fire as opposed to 1x.
