Pokémon weaknesses and imunities are pretty easy to memorize, but that's not the same for resistances, mainly the steel type. The only ones I know are fighting to flying, the fire water grass triangle, fairy to fire, poison to psychic, fighting to psychic and the types that resist themseves: all the eeveelutions types, exept sylveon, that got scared of its poison and steel weaknesses (so it would be fire, water, electric, psychic, dark, grass, ice, poison and steel).

Play the game more
Steel resists every type except its weaknesses (fire, fighting, ground) and water, electric, ghost, and dark.
Like Fizz said, after playing the game more, especially competitive pokemon, you usually pick up on these things
1) Play the main series games or Pokémon GO. Practice is the best way to learn and remember all of the different types' strengths and weaknesses.
2) Think about the real-world associations between different types.
3) Use a mnemonic poem to learn the different types.
I feel like the question is asking for specific ways to memorize each of them, rather than general tips.
@Woopers Do you want this question back on the unanswered list?
Play competitive pokemon regularly and you will quickly pick up on them.
I think you'll have the best luck just learning a few at a time until you eventually internalize them, and then learning a few more, until you have them all memorized. I've never memorized something without applying it to a situation in which it's needed.

Play random battles on Pokemon Showdown. Every time your opponent sends out a Pokemon, try to list all of its resistances, and then use the /weak command to see how many of them you got. I can't think of a faster way to do it.

that's exactly what I was about to comment before I saw this
Or you could just watch MandJTV's video on type matchups.

also most of them actually make sense.
