Pokemon Champions type chart
Rows attack, columns defend. Champions does not ship a matchup table of its own, so this is the standard 18-type chart, which every matchup we can check against the game agrees with. Individual moves can still override it, and one does. Tap any type to see its roster.

The one move that ignores this chart
A move can carry its own matchup rule, and the game states it in the move's own description rather than in a table. Our damage calculator applies it.
- Freeze-Dry is Ice-type, and the game says: “This move is also super effective against Water-type Pokémon.”
