Let's see what each section means:
- Very weak: Damage taken from these creatures is multiplied by 2.
- Weak: The damage caused by these types of Pokémon is normal.
- Immune: Some races are immune to others, usually only one and it means that does not receive any damage from these.

The most powerful types of pokemon
- Ghost Type: This creature is “very weak” against the sinister type only; and “weak” against the ghost type. This is “immune” to fighting type and normal type Pokémon.
- Normal Type: This creature is “very weak” against steel and rock types, on the other hand, is “weak” only to the fighting type and is immune to the ghost type.
- Dragon Type: The dragon type is “very weak” to the steel type and “weak” to the ice, fairy and dragon types. However, he is not immune to any race in the franchise, just yet.
These 3 types are, at the moment, the most resistant in the franchise, because they have a limited number of creatures that can defeat them.
The weakest types of pokemon
- Plant Type: This creature is “very weak” to steel, bug, dragon, fire, poison and flying types, making it one of the most vulnerable. In addition, it is “weak” against ice and poison types. In addition to that, it does not have immunity against any type of Pokémon.
- Ice Type: Ice types are “very weak” against type steel, fire, water and the same ice, and are “weak” against the rock and fighting type. He has no immunity against any type of creature in the franchise.

- Fighting Type: This creature is “very weak” against ghost, bug, fairy, psychic, poison, and flying types. Furthermore, it does not have immunity against a certain race.
A total, sound 18 types of Pokémon meticulously constructed to balance battles in all games in this universe. This has made it one of the most complete and popular video games on Nintendo consoles and also on mobile devices. The producers of this franchise have not announced the creation of new creatures, although, that is the trend in almost all new releases.
