Every Pokémon belongs to one or two types, like Fire, Water, or Grass. These types work like strengths and weaknesses — just like rock-paper-scissors. For example, Fire types are strong against Grass types, but weak against Water types. Knowing how types interact can help you win battles and build stronger teams.
