Pokémon Legends: Arceus - Guide to know the strengths and weaknesses of each type

” Pokémon Legends: Arceus ” is here. Have you bought it? If you have doubts, you can read the analysis that I have carried out on it. The truth is that it is generating all kinds of opinions, although everyone agrees that it has brought a lot of new things to the pocket monster franchise.

Despite this, ” Pokémon Legends: Arceus ” maintains some of the basic pillars of the franchise. A good example of this is the table of strengths and weaknesses, that is, which type is more or less effective against another. Do you know exactly how this works? I’ll tell you below.

How effective are some types against each other in Pokémon Legends: Arceus?

There are some advantages and disadvantages that we know by heart:

  • Grass is strong against Water, but weak against Fire . ⭐️
  • Fire is strong against Grass, but weak against Water . ⭐️
  • Water is strong against Fire, but weak against Grass . ⭐️

However, there are many more combinations, as it could not be otherwise with 18 elemental types. The first thing I thought was to make a list with all of them, but then I would go crazy making it and you looking for a specific combination.

Another factor that we must take into account is the Pokémon that have two types. I give you an example:

  • An Electric-type attack would be very effective against a Water Pokémon. ✅
  • However, if it has a secondary type resistant to electricity, such as Dragon, this attack would now deal normal damage. ✅
  • Conversely, if the second type is also weak to Electric, such as Flying, the damage will be even greater. ✅
  • In case the secondary type is one that has no strength or weakness against electricity, such as Fighting, it will not cause any influence to the effectiveness. ✅
  • In short, the effectiveness of a move on a Pokémon of two types is calculated by “adding” the effectiveness of the attack on each of those two types. ✅

This information is already offered by the game itself.

Another important detail is that “Pokémon Legends: Arceus” informs us of these strengths and weaknesses :

  • A dot to the right of the moving box means that it is neither very effective nor ineffective. ❗️
  • A larger circle indicates that the move is very effective against that opponent. ✅
  • A triangle indicates that the move is not effective against that opponent. ❌

And here comes the guide on the strengths and weaknesses of Pokémon types in ” Pokémon Legends: Arceus “. Do you have everything clear? I have to confess that, despite the fact that I have been playing the franchise for many years, from time to time I make a mistake on this subject.

I enjoy playing games, and gaming is a passion of mine. Among my favorite games are Tears of the Kingdom, GTA, and Cyberpunk.
