In [[Pokémon GO]], type effectiveness multipliers differ from that of the core series games, but using the same type effectiveness chart. Additionally, an attacking type that would be ineffective against a defending type in the core series are considered to be double not very effective instead.  
In [[Pokémon GO]], type effectiveness multipliers differ from the core series games, but using the same type effectiveness chart. Most significantly, an attacking type that would be ineffective against a defending type in the core series is instead doubly resisted.  


Instead of using multipliers of base 2, Pokémon GO uses multipliers are of base 1.6 (1.4 prior to December 12, 2018 and 1.25 prior to June 21, 2017). Like in the core series, if the defending Pokémon is dual-typed, the modifier is calculated as the product of the modifiers for both of its types.
The multipliers in Pokémon GO are based on 1.6 (1.4 prior to December 12, 2018 and 1.25 prior to June 21, 2017). If a move is super effective, its damage is multiplied by 1.6; if it is resisted, its damage is divided by 1.6 (multiplied by 0.625); if it is doubly resisted (i.e. corresponds to an immunity in the core series), its damage is divided by 1.6² (multiplied by 0.390625). If multiple of the Pokémon's types are weak to or resist the move's type, the product of the multipliers is used.


Type multipliers are as follows:
The possible effective multipliers are as follows.
