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.

There is even the fated Pokémon that have an octo-weakness, meaning they're eight times weak to a move. This is only possible with a {{t|Grass}}/{{type|Bug}} and has {{a|Dry Skin}} as its ability. | ||
