Pokémon's 18 types are at the core of the franchise's battle mechanic, each with its own weaknesses and resistances for Trainers to learn.
One of the most important gameplay mechanics in Pokémon is the typings and their impact on battles; making memorizing and mastering their weaknesses and resistances crucial. In total, there are 18 different types, making a type chart very useful for Trainers looking to find out every Pokémon weakness and resistance. Initially, there were only 15 Pokémon types, with Dark and Steel added in Generation 2, while Fairy was introduced in Generation 6.
If a type is weak to another type, the weak type will take double the damage from the attacking type. However, if both types are weak to the same type, it will quadruple the damage the Pokémon will take from that type.A perfect Pokémon to use as an example of these mechanics is the Bug/Steel-type Scizor. By combining these two types, Scizor loses Bug's weakness to Flying and Rock, as well as Steel's weakness to Fighting and Ground. However, Bug and Steel are both weak to Fire, meaning that Scizor is 4x weak to Fire.
