Using matchups in a run
- Check your active move’s type, then compare it with the enemy’s type.
- For two defending types, multiply the two factors. Water against Rock / Ground gives 1.6 × 1.6, capped at ×2.4.
- A mixed matchup can balance out: Fire against Water / Grass gives 0.6 × 1.6 = ×0.96.
- An immunity is a strong resistance here. Electric against Ground still deals ×0.3 damage.
- Positioning, upgrades and weather matter alongside the chart. Follow current in-game descriptions when they differ.

Type chart questions
Are these the usual Pokémon damage multipliers?
PokéSurvivor uses softer multipliers: ×1.6, ×0.6 and ×0.3. Use this chart for the game rather than the main-series ×2, ×0.5 and ×0 rules.
Do dual types stack?
Yes. Multiply the two defending-type modifiers, then apply the ×2.4 maximum.
Can weather change the result?
Weather can strengthen or weaken a type independently of its basic matchup. Read the current weather and move descriptions during your run.
Reference-reported data; game updates may change these rules.
