Let's say I have a Pokemon that is a dual type, and one type is resistant to a move, but the other type is weak to that move. Will the move be super effective, normal, or not very effenctive?

Example:
I have an Empoleon.
Magby used Flamthrower!
Since Empoleon is Water-Steel, will the Flamethrower will Super Effective, Normal Effectiveness, or Not very Effective?

It will be Normal effective. Water resists Fire, but Steel doesn't so they just cancel each other out, so it's Normal Effective

It will be normal.
Since it is super effective against steel, and resisted by water, they cancel each other out, making it neutral.

According to this chart is is neutral.

Dual types work in a pretty basic way.

  • If Chimchar used Flamethrower on Abomasnow, it would be 4x because Ice is weak to fire, as well as grass.

  • If a steel type attacked a Fire / Electric type, it would do 1/4 damage because Fire and Electric resist steel.
