Pokémon Go Type chart, Type effectiveness and weakness

In brief, elemental types dictate whether one Pokemons attack is effective or super effective against an opposing Pokemon.

Theres also neutral damage to consider and - in the main series games - immunity.

Each of these match-ups will result in different amounts of damage being dealt by the same Pokemon.

In the main series, Fairy-bang out Pokemon are famously immune to Dragon-bang out attacks.

In Pokemon Go, Fairies are resistant to Dragon-key in attacks instead.

This is separate to - and less important than - the key in match-up.

Both Ice and Steel are weak to Fire and Fighting.

The defending Charmeleon takes 120 damage.

Now, imagine that same Charmeleon hits an Alolan Sandslash with that same Fire-jot down move.
