→Intro: This isn't a phenomenon unique to Flying Press, so either Freeze-Dry should also be mentioned, or neither should. Also, Flying Press doesn't technically have 2 types, since Flying-types can't get STAB on it.

'''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 a possible 324 different type permutations; meaning that there are 171 type combinations. As of [[Generation V]], there are 108 different type combinations.
