Pokémon Type Chart: All Strengths and Weaknesses of 2024
As we step into the ever-evolving world of Pokémon in 2024, it's essential to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to understanding the strengths and weaknesses of your Pokémon in battles. With the ever-expanding roster of Pokémon and the introduction of new types and strategies, mastering the art of exploiting super-effective matchups and mitigating non-effective ones has become more essential than ever to maintain an edge over your opponent.
In this updated chart/guide for 2024, we will be going over our updated in-depth Pokémon type chart as well as exploring how damage multipliers work with clear-cut examples. Initially, when you look at the chart, it might be quite overwhelming, but don't worry; we have broken it down in a very simple way. Let's get started!
Pokémon Type Chart (Updated for 2024)
This is our updated Pokémon type chart for 2024. In it, you will see all 18 different Pokémon types, as well as all the different multipliers associated with the strengths and weaknesses of each Pokémon. When looking at the chart, all your attackers will be in the left-hand column, with all defending Pokémon listed across the top going from left to right. For easy reference, take your attacking Pokémon and then move across the top to see how effective it is against whatever type you are looking to counter! We have also included a chart key below for each Pokémon type and what each damage multiplier means.

How do Damage Multipliers Work?
In the Pokémon games, the damage dealt during battles is intricately influenced by type matchups and damage multipliers, adding layers of strategic depth to the gameplay. The primary multipliers revolve around the effectiveness of a move against a Pokémon's type. A move can be "super effective," dealing double damage, "not very effective," dealing half damage, or "ineffective," dealing a mere quarter of the damage.
Damage Multiplier Example
To illustrate, consider a Fire-type move (e.g., Flamethrower) used against a Grass-type Pokémon (e.g., Bulbasaur). The Fire move is super effective against Grass, resulting in a 2x damage multiplier. If Flamethrower typically deals 80 base damage, against Bulbasaur, it would deal 160 damage due to the 2x multiplier. Conversely, if a Water-type move is used against the same Grass-type Pokémon, it would be not very effective, resulting in a 0.5x damage multiplier. If the Water move has a base damage of 60, it would only deal 30 damage to Bulbasaur.
Dual-Type Pokémon Damage Multiplier Example
Furthermore, certain Pokémon have dual types, introducing additional considerations. For instance, a Pokémon with both Water and Ground types would be doubly resistant to Electric-type moves, receiving a 0.25x damage multiplier, as both types individually resist Electric moves. On the other hand, a Pokémon with dual weaknesses, such as a Flying and Bug type facing a Rock-type move, would be doubly susceptible, taking four times the normal damage due to the 4x weakness.
