 '''Types''' (Japanese: '''タイプ''' ''Type'') are a property for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and their [[move]]s. Each type has three properties: which types of Pokémon it is super effective against, which types of Pokémon it is not very effective against, and which types of Pokémon it is completely ineffective against. There are 18 types, each of which is listed to the right. During [[Generation I]], types were occasionally referred to as '''elements'''.
-A Pokémon may have either one or two types. For instance, {{p|Charmander}} is a {{t|Fire}} type, while {{p|Bulbasaur}} is both a {{t|Grass}} type and a {{t|Poison}} type. With the current 18-type system, there are a possible 324 different type permutations; meaning that there are 171 type combinations. As of [[Generation V]], there are 108 different type combinations. A move may have only one type, with the exception of {{m|Flying Press}}.

 Within the {{pkmn|anime}} and the games, most [[Gym Leader]]s, members of the [[Elite Four]], and some other Trainers are designed to have a [[Type specialist|type-specific theme]].
