Quiz Pokémon

How well do you know Pokémon type weaknesses?

A new target, an unexpected resistance, two types to combine: ten cases for using the chart without confusing it with final damage.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The target changes and a promising choice stops working. Explore ten cases: choose a move type, read an incoming attack and compare dual-type combinations. Consider only effectiveness on the modern main-series type chart, as in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. These are attacking moves that normally deal damage; Abilities, held items, weather, same-type attack bonuses and individual move exceptions are outside the quiz.

An original, unofficial quiz. Your result concerns these cases, with explanations and feedback by topic: it does not assign a personality or an overall Trainer rank. Effectiveness multipliers are not final damage. Pokémon GO, the Pokémon Trading Card Game and other battle systems are outside this comparison.
