Usage
The following is an example of the usage for Charizard:
{{Type effectiveness|
type1=fire|
type2=flying|
Normal= 100 |
Fighting= 50 |
Flying= 100 |
Poison= 100 |
Ground= 0 |
Rock= 400 |
Bug= 25 |
Ghost= 100 |
Steel= 50 |
Fire= 50 |
Water= 200 |
Grass= 25 |
Electric=200 |
Psychic= 100 |
Ice= 100 |
Dragon= 100 |
Dark= 100 |
notes=yes|
gen1fire=yes|
flying=yes|
newground=2|
oldice=2}}
The above coding makes the below template:
| ||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||
Or
Should we or shouldn't we have the top of this be colorized by the type of the Pokémon? Everything else does... TTEchidna 08:32, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
heatproof
heatproof is missing in the notes..--Hanmac
Some Problem
Magnemite is a pure Electric Type in Generation I,that means
Normal effectiveness
Normal, Fire, Rock, Bug, Water, Fighting, Ghost, Grass, Poison, Psychic, Ice, Dragon
Weak to
Ground 2×
Resistant to
Flying ½×
Electric ½×
But seem the Notes didn't note down about the effectiveness change of Fighting, Fire, Rock, Bug,Grass and Dragon (ya,a lot of miss).
Also, The Notes of Heatproof is missing, can someone add it??? --chungkingpunノ08:29, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Lately While I check about the notes, the Magnemite part's note is fixed
but the Notes of Heatproof is still missing (I've Check about the source code and didn't find any word or information that relate to heatproof,though) , can someone add it??? --chungkingpunノ12:04, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
We need one of these for the glitch Pokémon...
I'll code one up later to remove Dark/Steel if it's a Gen I glitch Pokémon and have notes... TTEchidna 22:36, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey
Why is the grass-type listed as changing for G1 poison-types? Poison resisted Grass in G1 and G2; none of those Pokémon are going to have any change.
More importantly, how can I fix this without blowing everything to hell? --Marton(I'm Jewish)imos 21:00, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Flash Fire
The parser should also mention when the Pokémon is frozen... ht14 22:01, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Problem
In the Normal one, where there are no resistances, It doesn't say "None" under it. Malake256 18:25, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
- The 0 value for Ghost is tripping the check that gets rid of the "None" for "Resistant against". It's checking for values less than 100 when it ought to also be checking that the value is not zero. Drapion 01:46, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Glitch
Is there any way to fix the glitch that happens where the bottom of the type is cut off and put at the top of the next column, or is somebody working on that? Pokemonemerfan1954 15:56, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Worry Seed!
You guys seem to keep forgetting about Worry Seed as another move that changes abilities. For example in Vaporeon's article it only mentions how Skill Swap or Gastro Acid can make water type moves do 1/2x damage instead of 0x, but this also happens if Worry Seed is used on Vaporeon. Can someone edit this template thingy to reflect this? --Pyritie 18:44, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Suggestion (or, more of a request)
Can we change this so that if a Pokémon has no resistances or immunities*, the column becomes empty? I find that it becomes confusing. I'll explain: Bulbasaur has no imminities, yes? So if the Immunities column has a box colored in coloured in Grass-colour (Bulbasaur's primary type), it looks as if Bulbasaur is immune to Grass-type moves. It allows the reader to quickly glance at the page instead of actually reading the word "none". It sounds like I'm being lazy (which I probably am), but it's just a suggestion. たかはりい 05:45, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Knock down and
Knock Down also makes Flying-types susceptible to Ground-type moves. Also someone should link to Damage modification. —Ve№moth ♦ 16:50, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Iron Ball
In Generation V a flying-type Pokémon holding an Iron Ball will receive neutral damage from Ground-type moves regardless of its secondary type, the template should be updated. Pikiwyn talk 09:33, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- I would, but I honestly think the whole thing needs a rewrite. For example, it mentions Mold Breaker, but not Teravolt or Turboblaze. I'll fiddle with it in my sandbox, then I'll try and update it. --SnorlaxMonster 10:25, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
Is it just me, or is this template having issues?
In the "Damaged normally by" category, some of the types are only partially showing (a segment of each seems to be chopped off). Is this showing up with anyone else? For the record I'm using Safari 5.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.4. chiefboz • talk 20:50, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
- This is definitely true with Safari and Chrome. It looks correct in Firefox ...and columns are ignored in IE (haha). It's due to the use of multiple columns. If you notice, the type that is half cropped is actually just wrapping into the next column. I think someone should edit the template so that if there are an odd number of types, perhaps place an invisible object (div) of the same height as an entry at the end of the column so that it is even and no types are "split". Not everyone uses Firefox. Ribose 02:52, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
Better wording
I think it should be changed to "Weak against" and "Resistant to", although "to" and "against" are interchangeable, it makes more sense when they are placed next to "resistant" and "weak" respectively. BNKTalk 21:22, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Shedinja's Wonder Guard
Can someone add Turboblaze, Teravolt, Skill Swap*, Entrainment*, Worry Seed, and Simple Beam? ~Enervation 19:16, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
- Added. --SnorlaxMonster 09:21, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
- Skill Swap is wrong. It never worked on Wonder Guard, I've checked that about week ago in Emerald and it said "But it failed". Marked +-+-+ 13:50, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- Skill Swap was never actually added to Wonder Guard because I knew about your findings. However, it seems that I ended up leaving "Wonder Guard" in the tool tip after Entrainment and Skill Swap for every other Ability, which has now been fixed. --SnorlaxMonster 15:17, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- Err... according to article, Entrainment does work on Wonder Guard. It doesn't work only on Zen Mode, Multitype and Truant. It's the Role Play who can't copy it (and Multitype). Marked +-+-+ 16:03, 2 May 2012 (UTC) PS. Unless I misunderstood you...
- What I meant was that the note for every other Ability (e.g. Flash Fire) said "Skill Swap*"). --SnorlaxMonster 07:54, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Oldpoison saying there was a change to grass
Just to echo Martonimos from back in 2008: why does oldpoison require an oldgrass value to be specified? as weaknesses and resistances to grass didn't change between generation 1 and 2 so it's a bit redundant and should be removed from the template --Aquatix (talk to me!) 12:00, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Name change to differentiate from gen VI onward
Currently, this template (I'll call it the "current template") has a very similar name to a newer template called Template:TypeEffectiveness. The primary difference between these two is that the current template does not support the changes introduced in gen VI: the addition of Fairy, and Steel no longer resisting Ghost and Dark; meanwhile the new one does support those changes. I think the current template should be renamed, as to avoid confusion about what it's for and when to use it.
Looking in the "Type-related templates" category, it seems there is an earlier chart for gen I called Template:RBY type effectiveness. So for the current template, perhaps something like "Gen II-V type effectiveness"? "GSC type effectiveness" or "BW type effectiveness" might not fully communicate the scope of it.
Regarding the task of relinking everything, the current template is used on only 42 pages according to "what links here", and most of those pages seem to be userspace instead of mainspace. So, making the change shouldn't require a lot of cleanup work. --Boblers (talk) 16:37, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
