How to read the chart

Find your attacking move's type in the left column, then follow the row across to the defender's type. 2× is double damage, 0.5× is half, and 0× means the attack does nothing at all. Dual-type Pokémon multiply both matchups, so an Ice attack on a Dragon/Ground Pokémon lands at 4×.

Older generations

This chart applies from Generation 6 (X & Y) onward. Before that, Fairy didn't exist, and in Generation 1 there were no Dark or Steel types. Our per-game planner pages use the correct chart for each era automatically.
