Overview
How the 18 Pokémon types shape matchup decisions.
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.
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.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not infer the complete result of a real-time fight from one 2× type advantage.

Practice exercise
Choose one familiar wild encounter and use the selected move system in isolation. Record whether your attacks connect, whether you survive counterattacks and when cooldowns limit your options.
