Pokémon types are fundamental to battles. Each Pokémon and move has a type (e.g., Fire, Water, Grass, Electric). Some types are super effective against others, dealing double damage, while some are not very effective, dealing half damage, or even have no effect. For example, Water is super effective against Fire, but not very effective against Grass. Learning the type chart is crucial for strategic battling and building a balanced team. The Fairy type is introduced in this generation, adding a new layer of strategy.
