Pokemon has over 1,000 monsters by now and they range from adorable little fuzzy electric squirrels (yes, Pikachu is a squirrel) and massive god-like dragons. Every Pokemon has a type and that determines not only what their attacks are but what their weaknesses and strengths against other Pokemon are.
Here’s what you need to know about Pokemon types and their weaknesses.
How many Pokemon types are there?
There are 18 Pokemon types. More and more types have arrived every few generations, introducing more dynamic matchups.
