Frequently asked questions
What are the type-effectiveness multipliers in Pokémon GO?
A single weakness deals 1.6× damage and a double weakness deals 2.56×. Resistance is 0.625×, while main-series immunities become strong resistances in Pokémon GO.
Should I check the Pokémon type or the move type?
Move type determines effectiveness. Bring a Pokémon that knows a super-effective move, ideally matching its own type for the same-type attack bonus.
How are dual types calculated?
A move is checked against both defending types and the effects stack. Ice is strong against both Dragon and Flying, for example, so it deals 2.56× damage.
