Type Weakness Calculator

Pick a Pokémon's type (1–2). The 18 attack types get grouped by damage multiplier.

Type 2 (optional)

Why GO multipliers differ from mainline

Mainline games use ×2 for super-effective, ×0.5 for not very effective, and ×0 for no effect. Pokémon GO uses different values.

CaseMainlinePokémon GO
Super effective (single)×2×1.6
Double weak (dual)×4×2.56
Not very effective (single)×0.5×0.625
Double resist (dual)×0.25×0.39
No effect×0×0.39

GO has no true immunity. Matchups that deal 0 damage in mainline still deal ×0.39 in GO (e.g., Normal → Ghost, Electric → Ground).

Not-very-effective attacks lose less damage than in mainline, and super-effective attacks gain less damage than in mainline. Hitting weaknesses is still the right play.

Weather Boosts

Matching weather boosts move power by ×1.2. Wild and raid Pokémon of that type also spawn at +5 levels.
