This page is part of IGN's Pokemon Sword and Shield Wiki guide and contains information on how a Pokemon's type influences it in battles, along with a complete Type-chart, which you can reference to see Pokemon Weaknesses, Strengths, and Effectiveness.
Every single Pokemon is based off one or two of eighteen different elemental Types. In the first generation, there were only 15 different types. The Dark- and Steel-types were added in the second generation, making 17, and the Fairy-type was added in the sixth generation, making 18.

The following chart contains all the strengths, weaknesses, and immunities of all 18 different Types. The left side of the chart is offense. The top of the chart is defense.
You can see even more details about each type and the Pokemon in Sword and Shield that they correspond to, by clicking on any of the types below.
Types play a role in both a Pokemon's offense and defense. As mentioned earlier, each Pokemon is made up of one or two types. At the same time, each move a Pokemon can learn causes one kind of elemental damage from the same pool of 18 types.
Some types are strong against others and cause twice (2x) the damage compared to neutral types. For example: an Electric-type move on a Normal-type Pokemon causes neutral damage (1x), but an Electric-type move on a Water-type Pokemon causes twice (2x) the damage. The game will tell you when one type is stronger than another by saying "It's Super Ef...
Some types are weak against others and cause half (.5x) damage compared to neutral types. For example: a Fighting-type move attacking a Bug-type Pokemon will cause only half the damage. The game will tell you when one type is weaker than another by saying "It's Not Very Effective" after the move is used.If battling a Pokemon you've battled before, ...
Lastly there are some types that won't even hit another type. The game will tell you "It Doesn't Affect..." if you come across an Immune type. Some types are even immune to certain Moves or Status Conditions. For example:
•Normal- and Fighting-types cannot touch Ghost-types
•Ghost-types cannot touch Normal-types
•Poison-types cannot touch Steel-types
•Ground-types cannot touch Flying-types (unless a move is used to knock it out of the air)
•Electric-types cannot touch Ground-types
Make note, Types may not play a role when using Status Attacks. Sand-Attack (a Ground move) can hit a Flying Pokemon, but Thunder Wave (an Electric move) cannot hit a Ground Pokemon. It can be confusing at times. See each Type page for more information on their immunities, or refer to the chart below.
Same-Type-Attack-Bonus, or STAB, is a 1.5x bonus multiplier Pokemon get when using a damaging move that's the same type as them.
When it comes to Pokemon with two types, you may cause 4x damage, .25x damage, or just break even. By referencing the type chart, if both types are weak, the Pokemon will take 4x damage; if both types are resistant, it will take 1/4 the damage; if one type is resistant and one type is weak, the Pokemon will take neutral damage.
Examples:
•Electric-type attacks on a Water- and Flying-type Pokemon mix for 4x damage. This is because Electric-types are strong against both Water- and Flying-types.
•If Vanilluxe (Ice-type) attacks Flygon (Ground- and Dragon-type) with Ice Beam (Ice-type attack), it will do 4x damage due to Flygon's Ground- Dragon-type weaknesses to Ice. But that's not all, due to Vanilluxe's 1.5x Ice STAB, the attack does a total of 6x damage!
•Fighting-type attacks on a Flying/Poison-type Pokemon mix for .25x damage. This is because Fighting-types moves aren't strong against either Flying- or Poison-types.
•Poison-type attacks on a Grass/Poison-type Pokemon mix for neutral damage. This is because Poison-types are strong against Grass- and weak against other Poison-types.
