Types (Pokemon)

Types represent the strengths and weaknesses of different Pokemon.

There are 15: Fire, Flying, Water, Psychic, Ice, Dragon, Grass, Poison, Bug, Dark, Steel, Electric, Ground, Rock, and Normal. Each of these is strong against some kinds and weak against others' attacks. For example, Fire-types are strong against Ice-, Grass-, Bug-, and Steel-types, but weak against Water, Ground, Rock, and Dark-tpyes.

Also, Pokemon of a certain type have similar stats (e.g., Electric-type Pokemon are fast, Steel-types have high defense).
