Pokemon Legends Z-A Type Chart (Strengths & Weaknesses)

In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, the damage that is dealt by an attack is determined by its type and the type of the defending Pokemon. Indeed, attack types can be "super effective" against certain types of Pokemon, and deal increased damage, "not very effective" and deal decreased damage, or neither. Players who want to maximize their efficacy in battle must have a solid understanding of this interplay between move type and Pokemon type in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and they can gain the understanding by referencing the type charts contained with this guide.

How to Tell if a Move is Effective in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Before providing a type matchup chart, it is worth noting that players can tell how effective their moves are when in battle in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Indeed, a shape will be displayed atop a Pokemon's moves in the bottom-right corner of the screen when a Pokemon is targeted, and those shapes indicate how effective the move is against the targeted Pokemon. Here are the meanings of those shapes.

• ⊙: The move is super effective against the targeted Pokemon.
• ◯: The targeted Pokemon has no weakness or resistance to the move.
• △: The move is not very effective against the targeted Pokemon.
• X: The move has no effect on the targeted Pokemon.

Pokemon Legends Z-A Type Matchup Chart

Here is the Pokemon Legends: Z-A type matchup chart in two formats. In both, the left side of the chart indicates the type of the attack and the top of the chart indicates the type of the defending Pokemon. The symbols in each chart mean the following:

• ⊙ / +: Super effective
• ◯ / =: No weakness or resistance
• △ / -: Not very effective
• X: No effect

Pokemon Legends Z-A Type Strengths and Weaknesses

While players can use the type matchup charts that are above to determine the strengths and weaknesses of every Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, it can be useful to look at the information that they present in different ways. Here are two more tables that players may find helpful:

Offense

If your primary interest is determining the types of attacks you should use against different types of Pokemon, this table is for you. Simply attempt to use the type of attack listed in the first column against Pokemon of the type listed in the second column. Simultaneously, avoid using the attack against Pokemon of the type listed in the third column.

Defense

If you want to make sure you are sending out Pokemon that will mitigate the damage dealt by incoming attacks, this table is worth perusing. Indeed, players should look to send Pokemon of the type listed in the first column out when they are facing attacks of the type listed in the second column. Additionally, Pokemon Legends: Z-A players should avoid sending Pokemon of the type listed in the first column out against attacks of the type listed in the third column, as those attacks will deal additional damage to them.
