### Notes

* This table ignores special abilities.
* Some Pokémon gain a new type when they evolve. If they already have 2 types, they will loose one.
* Forretress and Scizor are only weak to Fire type. This weakness is double weakness.
* Cascoon, Forretress, Metapod, Nincada, Pineco and Silcoon have a physical/special defence ratio of over 2; this means that a special move is better than a physical move for which the type matching says is twice as good.
* Ledian have a physical/special defence ratio of under 1/2; this means that a physical move is better than a special move for which the type matching says is twice as good.
