Pokémon Types

Pokémon Types are elemental attributes designated to Pokémon and their Moves respectively. Pokémon Types dictate certain qualities of a Pokémon such as which attacks it specializes in as well as sorts of Pokémon is fairs well or poorly against.
Canonically there are eighteen Pokémon Types (originally fifteen with three more added over the generations). In early generations types were designated as either Physical or Special and all moves of that type fell under one of those two categories. The Category would determine which of the Pokémon's attacking Stats (Attack or Special Attack) the type would reference when calculating damage.
*Physical Types: Rock, Poison, Ground, Flying, Bug, Normal, Ghost, Fighting, Steel
*Special Types: Water, Electric, Grass, Psychic, Fire, Ice, Dragon, Dark, Fairy
Note: Although Fairy was introduced after types were no longer designated as Physical or Special, it is considered a Special Type for the sake of balance.
==Pokémon Typing==
Pokémon may possess up to two types at a time, some Pokémon can change types with form changes or Mega Evolutions however these are typically temporary. A Pokémon's types determine is Resistances and Weaknesses as well as in some cases Immunities to other types. Pokémon can also gain a third type however this is only possible through the use of certain moves like Forest's Curse and Trick-or-Treat which grant Pokémon the Grass-Type and Ghost-Type.
In addition a Pokémon's type may be forcefully changed through moves like Soak or through abilities like Colour Change.
Pokémon Moves also have their own typing however a Pokémon Move is traditionally only one type, there is currently one canonical exception in the form of Flying Press a dual, Fighting/Flying-type move however the effects of Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) are only applied once.
==Types==
The following are known Pokémon Types on this wiki, as well as some examples of Pokémon within those types, please note that in the Fanonical Types, some Pokémon may overlap due to the preferences of the Type's creator.
