I feel like these terms should probably redirect to the TCG page anyway, since that's what they would typically refer to

When a move is '''super effective''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果はバツグン|こうかはばつぐん}}''' ''super effective''), it inflicts double the damage it would normally do. For example, a move like {{m|Megahorn}} used against a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon will be super effective because {{type|Bug}} moves are super effective against Psychic types. This effect can stack up; for example, a Pokémon that is {{t|Rock}}/{{t|Ground}} and is hit by a {{type|Water}} move like {{m|Surf}} will be damaged four times as much by the move as a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon would be, because both Rock and Ground Pokémon are weak to Water moves. | When a move is '''super effective''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果はバツグン|こうかはばつぐん}}''' ''super effective''), it inflicts double the damage it would normally do.

When a move is '''not very effective''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果は今一つ|こうかはいまひとつ}}''' ''not very effective''), or resistant, it deals half of the damage it would normally do. This works exactly like super effective moves, and can stack up. For example, a {{t|Steel}}/{{t|Rock}} Pokémon will be damaged by a quarter of the amount by a {{type|Normal}} move. Likewise, a {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Flying}} Pokémon hit by a {{type|Fighting}} move will be damaged normally, as Normal's weakness to Fighting is canceled out by Flying's resistance to it. | When a move is '''not very effective''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果は今一つ|こうかはいまひとつ}}''' ''not very effective''), or resistant, it deals half of the damage it would normally do.
