Frequently asked questions
Is the Pokémon Champions type chart the same as in the other games?
Yes: the same 18 types and the same multipliers as Generation 9 (Scarlet/Violet). What changes in Champions is a few rebalanced moves and abilities, not the chart.
What is the best defensive type?
Steel resists the most: it takes reduced damage from 10 types and is immune to Poison. In exchange, it is weak to Fire, Fighting and Ground. The types with the fewest weaknesses are Normal and Electric (one each).
How do you work out the weakness of a dual-type Pokémon?
Multiply the two values: a move that is 2x against both types becomes 4x; 2x against one and ½ against the other becomes 1x. Each Pokémon's page in the tier list already shows the result.
Can an ability change a weakness?
Yes: Levitate blocks Ground moves, Flash Fire blocks Fire, Water Absorb blocks Water and so on. The damage calculator takes the ability into account.
