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.

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

There's a small mistake in the type effectiveness list above. GROUND take 1/2 damage from POISON and ROCK, not poison and ground as is currently listed.
