Pokemon Types Explanation

There are 17 types in the world of Pokemon. A Pokemon can either be one or two of these types, and the typeset for the Pokemon is determined by species. Each type has its own distinct strengths and weaknesses, both the types themselves and of the moves of that type. I shall discuss them both below.

Note: This reflects only for Generation 2 onward. In Gen 1, Bug was super-effective against Poison, Poison was super-effective against Bug (which is rather confusing), and Psychic was immune to Ghost. Additionally, Dark and Steel types did not exist.
