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}}/{{type|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''), it deals half of the damage it would normally do and the target is considered "resistant" to attacks of that type. This works exactly like super effective moves, and can stack up. For example, a {{t|Steel}}/{{type|Rock}} Pokémon will be damaged by a quarter of the amount by a {{type|Normal}} move. Likewise, a {{t|Normal}}/{{type|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''), it deals half of the damage it would normally do and the target is considered "resistant" to attacks of that type.

When a move is '''not effective''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果がない|こうかがない}}''' ''not effective''), it does not damage the Pokémon at all and that Pokémon is "immune" to all attacks of that type; the move will yield a message of "It doesn't affect ''<Pokémon>''..." Certain types are also immune to specific [[status move]]s, such as {{type|Ground}} Pokémon being immune to the {{type|Electric}} {{m|Thunder Wave}}, or {{type|Grass}} Pokémon being immune to {{m|Leech Seed}} as well as {{cat|powder and spore moves}}. | When a move is '''not effective''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果がない|こうかがない}}''' ''not effective''), it does not damage the Pokémon at all and that Pokémon is "immune" to all attacks of that type; the move will yield a message of "It doesn't affect ''<Pokémon>''..."
