Overview

How the 18 Pokémon types shape matchup decisions.

02

How it works

Attack types and defensive typings influence effectiveness in Legends: Z-A. Dual-type defenders combine interactions from both types; an ordinary Pokémon type chart is useful for seeing broad strengths and weaknesses.

03

How to play

Check the opponent’s typing, then choose a move with an appropriate attack type while still respecting movement and cooldowns. Use Volpedia’s dedicated calculator for general type interactions.

04

Mistakes to avoid

Do not infer the complete result of a real-time fight from one 2× type advantage.
