Question 1

What does 4× super effective mean in Pokémon?

Accepted Answer

4× super effective means a move deals quadruple (4×) damage. This happens when both of a dual-type Pokémon's types are individually weak to the attacking type. For example, Ground hits Fire for 2× and Rock for 2×, so Ground deals 4× to a Fire/Rock Pokémon like Magcargo.

Question 2

How do I calculate dual-type weaknesses in Pokémon?

Accepted Answer

Multiply the individual type matchup values together. If Water hits Fire for 2× and Rock for 2×, Water deals 2 × 2 = 4× to a Fire/Rock Pokémon. If a type is immune (0×) to one of the defending types, the product is 0× regardless of the other type.

Question 3

What is the Pokémon type chart for Generation 9?

Accepted Answer

The Generation 9 (Scarlet/Violet) type chart is unchanged from Generation 6. There are 18 types: Normal, Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, Steel, and Fairy. The Fairy type was introduced in Gen 6 and remains the most recent addition.

Question 4

Which Pokémon type has the most weaknesses?

Accepted Answer

Rock type has five weaknesses (Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, Steel) — the most of any type. Certain dual-type combos like Ice/Rock are even more vulnerable, being weak to six types and taking 4× from Fighting.

Question 5

What type combination has the most resistances in Pokémon?

Accepted Answer

Steel/Ghost is one of the most defensively powerful combinations, being immune to Normal, Fighting, Poison, and partially resisting many other types. Steel/Fairy also has excellent bulk with many resistances and two immunities.
