'''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'''. | '''Types''' (Japanese: '''タイプ''' ''Type'') are a property for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and their [[move]]s.

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 324 possible ways to assign types to Pokémon, with 171 unique combinations. As of [[Generation VI]], 131 different type combinations have been used. [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] can also have types. | ||
All moves have only one assigned type. However, the moves {{m|Flying Press}} and {{m|Freeze-Dry}} have custom interactions with defending types that do not strictly match their assigned types. | All moves have only one assigned type.
