These 18 types apply to both Pokémon and their moves. Prior to Join the Fan Lab!
Generation III, there used to be a BIRD type which was only applied to Glitch Fandom's Exclusive Digital
Community
Pokémon such as MissingNo. before they were removed, and prior to
Generation V, there used to be a ??? type which was only applied to the
Types
move Curse, and the SHADOW type, which was only present in Pokémon
Colosseum, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, and Pokémon GO.
List of Pokémon
Each type has its own strengths and weaknesses, most of which are
logical setups. FIRE -type Pokémon are weak against WATER -type Pokémon,
Ash Ketchum
ICE -type Pokémon are weak against FIRE -type Pokémon, WATER -type

Pokémon are weak against ELECTRIC -type Pokémon, etc. These matchups
Pokémon Ultimate
also apply to the types of moves as well: A FIRE -type move such as Ember Journeys: The Series
will be strong against a GRASS -type Pokémon such as Bulbasaur. Some
types of Pokémon are also immune to a certain type of moves, regardless
of its attack power, such as using an offensive GHOST -type move on a
NORMAL -type Pokémon.

Pokémon themselves can have up to two types, making them dual-type

Pokémon, but moves can only be one type (with the exception of the move
Flying Press which is a FIGHTING / FLYING -type move). Most if not all dual-type
Pokémon's types correspond with one another such as a GRASS / POISON -type
Pokémon such as Bulbasaur, or a ROCK / GROUND -type Pokémon such as Onix.
However, not all dual-type Pokémon's types relate to each other like this.
Some Pokémon may be dual-type between two types that don't normally
go together such as WATER / ELECTRIC types (such as Lanturn) or GRASS / WATER
types (such as Ludicolo) or GRASS / FLYING types (such as Jumpluff), or
FIGHTING / PSYCHIC (such as Medicham and Mega Mewtwo X).

Some dual-type Pokémon lose one of their types and gain a different type
upon Evolution such as Scyther (a BUG / FLYING type) which evolves into
Kleavor (a BUG / ROCK type). Some singular type Pokémon will change
completely to a different type or types upon evolution, such as Azurill (a
NORMAL / FAIRY type) which evolves into Marill (a WATER / FAIRY type). One

Pokémon also completely lose a type upon evolution, Gloom (a

GRASS / POISON type) evolves into Bellossom (a GRASS type). Some Pokémon

can also change their type altogether, like Eevee (a NORMAL type) which can
evolve into one of eight different types, or Cubone (a GROUND type) which
evolves into Marowak (a FIRE / GHOST type).

Special Type Interactions

Some types have special interactions with battle effects:

Dark-type Pokémon are immune to moves that gain priority from the
Ability Prankster.
Electric-type Pokémon cannot be Paralyzed.
Fire-type Pokémon cannot be Burned.
Flying-type Pokémon are not considered grounded, thus not affected
by things such as Grassy Terrain and Spikes. If a Flying type uses the
move Roost, it will lose the Flying typing for the rest of the turn.
Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to effects that prevent escape, and
are guaranteed to fee from a wild battle.
Grass-type Pokémon are immune to the move Leech Seed, Spore and
Powder moves, as well as the Ability Effect Spore.
Ground-type Pokémon cannot be Paralyzed by Electric-type moves,
and don't take damage from the Sandstorm weather condition.
Ice-type Pokémon cannot be Frozen, are immune to the move Sheer
Cold, and don't take damage from the Hail weather condition.
Poison-type Pokémon cannot be Poisoned, and will remove Toxic
Spikes from their side if grounded, when switched in. If a Poison type
uses the move Toxic, it won't miss.
Rock-type Pokémon gain a 50% Special Defense increase, and don't
take damage from the Sandstorm weather condition.
Steel-type Pokémon cannot be Poisoned and don't take damage from
the Sandstorm weather condition.

Trivia
The only exception to the max dual typing is the manga-exclusive
"Zapmolcuno" which is an ICE / ELECTRIC / FIRE / FLYING type (usually
shortened to ??? / FLYING type).
As of Generation IX, the only types that have been paired with every
other type is WATER , FLYING , PSYCHIC , GRASS , ELECTRIC , FIGHTING and DARK .
Both Generation II and VI added to the list of types, Gen II adding DARK
and STEEL and Gen VI adding FAIRY .
Due to this, several Pokémon have been retyped to take
advantage of the addition of new types. For example, the entire
Magnemite line was retyped to ELECTRIC / STEEL and many
Pokémon that were previously Normal or mono-type Pokémon
became FAIRY type following its introduction.
Coincidentally, all of these types have an immunity, with the
DARK , STEEL , and FAIRY types being immune to the PSYCHIC , POISON ,

and DRAGON types respectively.

The Dark type is currently the only one of the three types
introduced after Generation I to not be given to an already
introduced Pokémon to retype it.

The only max single typing move is the move Flying Press which is a
FIGHTING / FLYING -type move.

In Pokémon Masters, there are Unity Moves which can use three
types if all Pokémon on the players side of the leld have different
typings.
The type that has the most Pokémon classiled into it is WATER .
