THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW (chapter 1)

Pokemon do 50% more damage using attacks of the same type as they are. Ground pokemon do more damage using ground attacks than fighting pokemon will.

Example:

Snorlax does 200% damage using thunderbolt against a Vaporeon (because Vaporeon is a water pokemon), but pikachu does 300% damage using thunderbolt against Vaporeon since thunderbolt is an electric attack.

Pokemon can be two different types at the same time. This means that there can be pokemon which are BOTH a ground type AND a Rock type (Examples: Rhydon, Golem, Onix, Geodude, Graveler). When this happens, the pokemon simply combines the strengths and weaknesses of both types together.

Example:

Graveler’s type is Gound/Rock. Both Ground and Rock are weak to Grass attacks (like Razor Leaf) and Water attacks (like surf). This means that Grass and Water attacks will do 4x their normal amount of damage when used against Graveler. But since Graveler is a ground type pokemon, electric attacks don’t even effect it, and since it is part Rock, “Normal” type attacks do only 1/2 damage to it.

When a pokemon is 2 types of pokemon at once, like Slowpoke (which is Psychic/Water) it will do extra damage when it uses attacks of either of its types. Example: Slowpoke will do 50% more damage using Surf than non-water pokemon types, as well as with Psychic moves.

Just because a pokemon is of a certain type doesn’t mean it is able to know lots of attacks of that type (Example: Scyther can only learn 1 very shitty bug move even though it is A bug pokemon). There are also pokemon which are able to be taught lots of attacks other than their own type (Example: Clefairy which can learn Fire, Water, Ice, Electric, Fighting, and Psychic moves).
