One of the most fundamental pieces of knowledge in all Pokémon games is knowing your type counters. Every Pokémon has a specific type, and each type has strengths and weaknesses against other types. Understanding which types are strong or weak against your opponent’s Pokémon is vital if you want to win your more difficult matches.
In **Pokémon Legends: Arceus**, this type effectiveness system remains crucial. Below, you can find a comprehensive list of all Pokémon types, the types they are strong against, and the types they are weak against. Practically all Pokémon adhere to this system, with the main exception being the Normal-type, which generally interacts neutrally with others, except for its weakness to Fighting-type moves.
