The following chart shows how effective Move Types are against each Type of Pokémon in Pokémon Go. Moves may deal normal damage, extra damage or reduced damage. In Pokémon Go every Pokémon Type can deal damage to other types. Click the chart to enlarge it.
All Pokemon Listed by Type
All Generation One Pokemon can be seen in the chart below. The chart is sorted alphabetically by the first Type of each Pokemon.
Type Strengths and Weaknesses
Pokemon of the same type will have the same Type strengths and weaknesses in battle. For example, when defending, Fire Types will take more damage from Water Type moves and less damage from Grass Type moves. When attacking, Fire Type moves will deal greater damage to Grass Types, but less damage to Water Types.
The easiest way to understand the Type Effectiveness in Pokemon is by taking a look at the simple chart below.
This chart shows which Types are Super Effective against certain Types, but weak against others. For example, in the second row form the top, Fire, Fighting and Ground Types are Super Effective against Steel. Steel is Super Effective against Ice, Rock and Fairy.
At the very bottom, Fighting is Super Effective against Normal Types, while Normal Types are not Super Effective against any other Type.
Pokemon Go One Types (151 Pokemon)
In Pokemon Go all Original Generation One Pokemon make up a total of 151 different Pokemon. There are 84 Pokemon with one Type and 67 Pokemon with Two Types.
The percentage breakdown of all Types is as follows:
The majority of Pokemon are either Poison, Water or Normal. The fewest available Pokemon Types are Steel, Dragon and Ghost. At this time there are no Dark Type Pokemon within the original 151 Pokemon group.
Pokemon Go Type Tips
- Build your team with a variety of types to balance out weaknesses. A Team of pure Water Types may fair well against Rock, Ground and Fire, but a single Grass or Electric Pokemon could easily wipe out half of your team!
- Gym Leaders should stagger different Types of Pokemon to defend most strategically against challengers.

Good question. I'm not sure how this will work in Pokemon Go just yet. I will update once the game is released and we know for sure.
ReplyDeleteWonder if abilities and whatnot still semi-exist, i.e. Ghastly family being immune to ground due to levitation
ReplyDeleteFire types are basically all I can find here in Arizona...
ReplyDeleteHas this been updated with verified Pokemon Go type chart? Does it align to any particular generation's type chart or is it unique to Pokemon Go?
ReplyDeleteShould try airport (city) or private airstrip (rural) to see if you get a bunch of Flying type
ReplyDeleteFountain spawns water types. Fyi
ReplyDeleteSo basically I'm gonna spend the rest of my life looking for fire types... great
ReplyDeleteI know that weaknesses are slightly different in go! As there are no immunities and super effective is x1.25 but do dual types get double weaknesses or double resistance? I.e. does gyarados take x1.5 DMG from electric?
