Immunity in Pokémon GO
You'll notice that there is no «immunity» column in the table, and that's by design. In Pokémon GO, I'There is no such thing as total immunity.
In the main games, certain cases result in zero damage : THE type Soil completely ignores the attacks from Électrik type, and the type Normal is immune to the Spectrum type. In Pokémon GO, these cases become simply resistors.
Specifically, in cases where console games apply a multiplier of x0, Pokémon GO drops to about x0,39. Damage is significantly reduced, but it remains greater than zero. Therefore, no attack is ever completely useless.
PvE and PvP types in Pokémon GO
Whether you play in raid (PvE) or in Trainer Battle (PvP), carefully reviewing the type chart is still crucial for choosing the right team.
In PvE, you battle Pokémon in raids or against the Team GO Rocket. A super-effective attack applies a multiplier of x1,6against x2 in the main games. Knowing the Strengths and Weaknesses of each type allows you to maximize your damage on every raid.
In PvP, there are two main formats:
- The arenas, where you face off against another player's team controlled by the AI.
- The Trainer Battles, more strategic ones, with your 3 Pokémon during Special Cups or the International European Championships.
In PvP, you don't know your opponent's Pokémon in advance. So you have to anticipate the strengths and weaknesses of each type. Be especially wary of Dual-Type Pokémon : Their resistances stack and can add up to the equivalent of immunity in console games.
