Refers to how the [[type]]s of damage-dealing moves known by a Pokémon match up against all 18 types and their many combinations in terms of effectiveness.

===Unmon===
Refers to Pokémon that, whether by being outclassed by better options, too inconsistent to be practical, or just plain ineffective, are considered completely unviable in certain metagames and are never to be used on serious teams. Terms such as "shitmon" and "digimon" are used synonymously.
====Unset====
Similar to unmon, but for a specific set rather than the whole Pokémon. For example, {{p|Kartana}} is considered to be effective in Gen VII OU, but "Timid Kartana", a set which arranges the EVs so that {{a|Beast Boost}} boosts Speed rather than Attack, is considered unviable and thus an unset.
