The Pokémon games has always offered you to fight alongside creatures that each have one or two types. Each of its types then has the right to its own weaknesses, strengths, resistances and even immunities. In this guide, we go over the 18 types available in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
The Importance of Pokemon Types
It is very important to know its type table since it will allow you to know which Pokémon to use against a trainer or another wild Pokémon during your exploration of Paldea. When you have to face Team Star bosses or the members of Council 4 of the Pokémon League, knowing that the Water type is effective against the Fire type will not be enough.
Also note that we are talking about the type or types of a Pokémon but that it is also logical to talk about the attacks of the latter. A Fire-type Pokémon with a Plant-type attack (let's imagine) can be very effective against a Water-type Pokémon! It is therefore essential to know the type of attacks of your monsters.
Finally, it is essential to know the table of types when you participate in a Teracrystal Raid in multiplayer, especially since the Teracrystal type will be different from the base type of the Pokémon: pay close attention to the icon at the top right of the screen before selecting your monster.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Type Chart
Here are the 18 types with their weaknesses, abilities, and immunities. Note that some attacks can be very effective (and therefore do x4 in damage), effective (x2), not very effective (x 1/2) or even immune (no damage).
- Weaknesses : the Pokémon of the type receives x2 or even x4 (if dual-type) in damage
- Strengths : attacks of the type inflict x2 or x4 on the opposing Pokémon (favor these attacks to cause more damage to enemies)
- Resistances : the Pokémon is resistant to attacks of the type and only receives half the damage inflicted in general
