You don't know the type table by heart and you have trouble knowing the weaknesses of monsters on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? Here is a summary of everything you need to know to easily defeat the trainers and wild creatures that will cross your path in Paldea.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Type Chart: Weaknesses, Strengths of Each Type in the Game

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.
