'''Types''' (Japanese: '''タイプ''' ''Type'') are | '''Types''' (Japanese: '''タイプ''' ''Type'') are properties 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'''. | ||
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 324 possible ways to assign types to Pokémon, with 171 unique combinations. As of [[Generation VI]], 131 different type combinations have been used. [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] can also have types. | A Pokémon may have either one or two types.

If a move's type is completely ineffective due to one of the opponent's types, then the move does zero damage, even if the opponent has a second type that would be vulnerable to it (as in {{m|Thunderbolt}}, an {{type|Electric}} move, used against a {{p|Quagsire}}, a {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon). Otherwise, before Generation V, a move will always do at least one [[HP]] of damage. In Generation V, it became possible to deal zero damage since certain damage modifiers (such as {{m|Reflect}}) are applied after the damage is ensured to be at least 1. | If a move's type is completely ineffective due to one of the opponent's types, then the move does zero damage, even if the opponent has a second type that would be vulnerable to it (as in {{m|Thunderbolt}}, an {{type|Electric}} move, used against a {{p|Quagsire}}, a {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon).

A '''type chart''' shows which modifiers are applied to [[move]] [[type]]s when attacking {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of each type. Please note that this only covers single types, not pairs. To get a dual-type Pokémon's matchup against a specific move type, go across the table's columns to each of the types, see what the effectiveness of the move is against both, and multiply the effectiveness together: in this way a {{type|Flying}} move would hit for 4× damage on a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon, while a {{type|Ground}} move used against the same would do only a quarter of its normal damage. The type chart differs depending on the [[generation]] of {{pkmn|games}} it is from. | A '''type chart''' shows which modifiers are applied to [[move]] [[type]]s when attacking {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of each type.

All games before [[Generation IV]] also made [[damage category|a distinction]] between [[Physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s based on their type.

When the type of an attack corresponds with one of the types of the Pokémon using it, the attack power will be increased by 50%. This type advantage is referred to as [[same-type attack bonus]], or STAB for short. | When the type of an attack corresponds with one of the types of the Pokémon using it, the attack power will be increased by 50%. This type advantage is referred to as [[same-type attack bonus]], or STAB for short. As an example, consider an {{p|Aron}} that knows {{m|Metal Claw}} and {{m|Cut}}. Both attacks are physical attacks and both have a base power of 50. However, because Aron is a {{2t|Steel|Rock}} Pokémon, the power of its Metal Claw move will effectively be 75. | ||
Some [[weather | Some types of [[weather]], {{Abilities}}, and [[held item]]s affect moves of a certain type. {{m|Sunny Day}}, for example, causes {{type|Fire}} moves to increase in power, while {{a|Levitate}} causes {{type|Ground}} moves to not work on the Pokémon with this Ability. Likewise, each type has a [[Type-enhancing item|specific item]] that can be given to a Pokémon to hold that will power up one of the specific types, such as the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}, which powers up {{type|Steel}} moves by 20% (10% prior to Generation IV). | ||

So far, the only such Abilities are {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Multitype}}, and {{a|Protean}}. | ||
