One of the most fundamental pieces of knowledge in all Pokémon games is knowing your type counters. Every Pokémon has a type, and each type has specific strengths and weaknesses against others. Understanding what you need to counter the opposing Pokémon on the field is vital if you want to win your more difficult matches.
In **Pokémon Legends: Arceus**, all Pokémon strengths and weaknesses follow this type system. While almost all Pokémon operate within these rules, the only real exception is the Normal-type. Normal-type Pokémon are generally neutral in their interactions with other types, receiving no particular advantages or disadvantages except that they are weak to Fighting-type moves.
Below is a comprehensive list of all types, the types they are strong against, and the types they are weak against:
| Type | Strong Against | Weak Against |
|———–|————————————–|———————————-|
| Bug | Dark, Grass, Psychic | Fire, Flying, Rock |
| Dark | Ghost, Psychic | Bug, Fairy, Fighting |
| Dragon | Dragon | Ice, Dragon, Fairy |
| Electric | Flying, Water | Ground |
| Fairy | Dark, Dragon, Fighting | Poison, Steel |
| Fighting | Dark, Ice, Normal, Rock, Steel | Fairy, Flying, Psychic |
| Fire | Bug, Grass, Ice, Steel | Ground, Rock, Water |
| Flying | Bug, Fighting, Grass | Electric, Ice, Rock |
| Ghost | Ghost, Psychic | Dark, Ghost |
| Grass | Ground, Rock, Water | Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, Poison |
| Ground | Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, Steel | Grass, Ice, Water |
