Pokemon in Pokemon Go all fall into one of a few categories – ‘types’.
A Pokemon can have one or two types, and types determine a number of things about that Pokemon. For one it determines where the Pokemon likes to
live (more on that under the next heading), but it also determines battle strengths and weaknesses.
There’s 18 different types, and each type is either strong, weak or neutral to other types. At the most basic level with the starter Pokemon
this breaks down to Rock, Paper, Scissors – Charmander (Fire) beats Bulbasaur (Grass) who beats Squirtle (Water) who in turn beats Charmander.
