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.

In [[Pokémon GO]], super effective moves deal only 1.25x the damage, instead of 2x. | |||

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.

In [[Pokémon GO]], not very effective moves deal 0.8x damage, instead of 0.5x. | |||

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''..."

In [[Pokémon GO]], not effective moves are treated as if they are not very effective. So a {{type|Ground}} move can hit a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, only at 0.8x damage. | |||

From [[Generation II]] onward, critical hits cause the effects of {{m|Light Screen}} and {{m|Reflect}} to be ignored. From [[Generation III]] onward, a critical hit additionally causes the attacker's negative [[Statistic|stat changes]] and the defender's positive stat changes to be ignored. | From [[Generation II]] onward, critical hits cause the effects of {{m|Light Screen}} and {{m|Reflect}} to be ignored.

There are no critical hits in [[Pokémon GO]]. | |||

A move used by a Pokémon that is of the same type as the move itself will do 150% of its normal damage, such as a {{type|Fire}} move used by a Fire-type Pokémon. Dual-type Pokémon will receive this bonus for both of their types, and a Pokémon whose type can change in-battle will receive the bonus for whatever type they are when they make the move. Pokémon with {{a|Adaptability}} have this increased to 200% (an effective boost of ~33.3%). | A move used by a Pokémon that is of the same type as the move itself will do 150% of its normal damage, such as a {{type|Fire}} move used by a Fire-type Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon GO]], the same-type attack bonus is 1.25x, instead of 1.5x. | |||
