Type Chart Symbols

	Super Effective The attacking type deals double the damage to the defending type.
	Not Very Effective The attacking type deals half the damage to the defending type.
	Immune (No Effect) The attacking type deals no damage to the defending type.
No Symbol	Regular Damage The attacking type deals regular damage to the defending type.

Type Effectiveness and Damage Output

Damage Increases or Decreases Depending on Effectiveness

The total damage dealt by a Pokemon depends on the type effectiveness of that move. Depending on the Move type and the type of Pokemon you are up against, you may inflict or receive 2x damage, half damage, or no damage at all. All other moves inflict 1x damage.

Pokemon Type Interactions (ex. Fighting-type)
Machoke using Close Combat	Deal 2x Damage	Snorunt
Scyther using Close Combat	Deal only 1/2 Damage	Abra
Lopunny using Close Combat	Deal no damage	Mismagius

Damage Output

Attack Effectiveness Shown by Symbols

You can determine the effectiveness of an attack on your target based on the symbol next to the move.

	Super effective

Two-Type Pokemon Multiplying Effect

Some Pokemon have a secondary typing, which may sometimes cause them to be hit with a move that is super effective against both of their types. In this case, a super effective move could deal 4x damage to the defending Pokemon since the damage is multiplied between the two types.

On the other hand, the damage output could be lowered if 1 of the Pokemon's 2 types is resistant to the attacking Pokemon's move.

Rowlet	Type Effectiveness
			Damage Output
	2x	2x	4x
	2x	1x	2x
	0.5x	2x	1x
	0.5x	1x	0.5x
	0.5x	0.5x	0.25x
	0.5x	0x	0x

As an example, Rowlet is 4x weak to Ice moves due to its dual Grass and Flying typing, but it only receives 1/4x the damage from Grass moves. Its Flying-type's weakness to Electric is also cancelled out since Grass is resistant to it. Regardless of its other type, it is immune to Ground since it is Flying-type.

Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB)

When a Pokemon uses a move with the same type as it, the move deals additional damage to the defending Pokemon due to the Same Type Attack Bonus. STAB increases the damage of a move by 50%, which makes the damage output 1.5x more effective.
