Types
Every Pokémon you own attacks every enemy at once, and each one's damage is changed by its types against the enemy's types.
How damage is worked out
- Each type is checked against the enemy's types, using the chart below. A single-type Pokémon (attacker or enemy) counts its one type twice.
- The attacker's two types are multiplied out separately and the better result is used.
- So against a single-type enemy, a super-effective hit is ×4 and a not-very-effective one ×¼. Against dual-type enemies you get ×4, ×2, ×1, ×½, ×¼ or ×0.
- Your click attack ignores types.
- Gem upgrades raise single values in this chart for one type.
Example: water vs rock counts as Water→Rock twice: 2 × 2 = ×4. fire/flying vs grass: Fire gives ×4, Flying gives ×4 — so ×4.
Type chart
Rows attack, columns defend. Green ×2, red ×½, black no effect.
