If the type of a move used by a Pokémon is strong against the opponent's type, then the damage done is twice the normal amount; if a move's type is weak against a specific type, then the damage done is half the normal damage done. Note that this effect is multiplied; e.g. if a move's type is strong against both of the opponent's types (such as {{m|Dig}}, a {{type|Ground}} move, on an {{p|Aggron}}, a {{2t|Steel|Rock}} Pokémon), then the move does 4 times the damage. If a move's type is not very effective against both of the opponent's types (such as {{m|Wake-Up Slap}}, a {{type|Fighting}} move, on a {{p|Sigilyph}}, a {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon), then the move does ¼ of the damage. | If the type of a move used by a Pokémon is strong against the opponent's type, then the damage done is twice the normal amount; if a move's type is weak against a specific type, then the damage done is half the normal damage done.
