Type Effectiveness

Below is a table showing the effectiveness of each Pokemon type. It can be used to prioritize shard upgrades.

=Practicality=

See Shards for a list of optimal farming routes for each type of shard.

A breakdown of how much damage each type contributes to total damage, absent any shard boosts, can be seen by using the Damage Calculator screen in the Start Menu. Types that do the most damage generally should be upgraded with shards first.
