Pokemon Champions Type Chart

Type matchups are very important in Pokemon Champions. Every Pokemon has a type, and every move has a type too. Some types are strong against others, while some are weak. This changes how much damage you give and take. If you use the right type, you can beat stronger Pokemon. If you use the wrong type, you will do very little damage and take a lot more in return.

Learning the type chart is one of the first things you want to do if you plan on building a competitive team in Pokemon Champions. This guide breaks all of that down for you.

Pokemon Champions Type Effectiveness

Before you recruit and train your Pokemon, you need to know that there are 18 types in Pokemon Champions, and each one has its own set of strengths, weaknesses, resistances, and immunities. When you use a move, the game checks your move's type against your opponent's Pokemon type. The result changes how much damage the move does.

Here are the four possible outcomes:

Effectiveness	Multiplier	What it means
Super effective	2x	Your move hits extra hard
Normal	1x	Regular damage, no bonus or penalty
Not very effective	0.5x	Your move barely does anything
Immune	0x	The move does zero damage

Dual-Type Pokemon

Most Pokemon carry two types at once, and this changes the math. When both of a Pokemon's types are weak to the same move, damage stacks up to 4x. When both types resist the same move, it drops to 0.25x. Immunity always wins. Even if one type is weak, if the other is immune, the move does nothing.

Type 1	Type 2	Result
Weak	Weak	4x damage
Weak	Resistant	1x damage (cancel out)
Resistant	Resistant	0.25x damage
Immune	Anything	0x damage (immunity always wins)

How Pokemon Type Chart Changed Over the Generations

Pokemon did not always have 18 types. When the series started with Red and Green in 1996, there were only 15 types. Back then, Dragon and Psychic were dominant with very few counters. Dark and Steel were added in Generation II (Gold and Silver, 1999) specifically to balance things out. Dark countered Psychic, and Steel added a tough defensive wall the game was missing.

Then in Generation VI (X and Y, 2013), the Fairy type was introduced to put Dragon, Dark, and Fighting in check. It worked, because Fairy immediately became one of the most valuable types competitively.

Knowing this history helps you understand why the Pokemon Champions type chart looks the way it does today. Every addition was intentional, and the balance it creates is part of what makes Pokemon battles so deep and replayable.
