* If the type of move is completely ineffective against one of the opponent's types, then the move does no damage, even if the opponent has a second type that would be vulnerable to it (as in {{m|Thunderbolt}}, an {{type|Electric}} move, used against a {{p|Quagsire}}, a {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon). | * If the type of move is completely ineffective against one of the opponent's types, then the move does no damage, even if the opponent has a second type that would be vulnerable to it (as in {{m|Thunderbolt}}, an {{type|Electric}} move, used against a {{p|Quagsire}}, a {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon). | ||
[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] uses a different calculation for type effectiveness against multiple types: | |||
* If the type of a move is super effective against both of the opponent's types, then the move does 2.5 times the damage (instead of 4). | |||
* If the type of a move is not very effective against both of the opponent's types, then the move does 0.4 times the damage (instead of 0.25). | |||
* Type effectiveness multipliers remain the same otherwise. | |||
The moves {{m|Flying Press}}, {{m|Freeze-Dry}}, and {{m|Thousand Arrows}} have custom interactions with defending types and do not strictly obey the type chart. {{type|Fire}} moves double in effectiveness against Pokémon affected by {{m|Tar Shot}}. {{cat|Moves that deal direct damage}} (including [[one-hit knockout move]]s) do not employ effectiveness, although since [[Generation II]] Pokémon are immune to them based on type interactions. Certain {{Abilities}}, [[held item]]s, or types of [[weather]] (such as {{a|Levitate}}, the [[Ring Target]], or [[strong winds]], respectively) may modify the effectiveness of specific types of moves. | The moves {{m|Flying Press}}, {{m|Freeze-Dry}}, and {{m|Thousand Arrows}} have custom interactions with defending types and do not strictly obey the type chart. {{type|Fire}} moves double in effectiveness against Pokémon affected by {{m|Tar Shot}}. {{cat|Moves that deal direct damage}} (including [[one-hit knockout move]]s) do not employ effectiveness, although since [[Generation II]] Pokémon are immune to them based on type interactions.
