Pokemon Pokopia Type Chart Complete Guide (2026)

Pokemon Pokopia just launched on March 4, 2026, bringing fresh mechanics and challenges to the Pokemon universe. Whether you're picking your starter or building a competitive team, understanding type effectiveness is crucial.

This guide covers everything you need to dominate Pokemon Pokopia.

Quick Reference: Type Chart Basics

Pokemon Pokopia uses the standard 18-type system with no new types added:

  • Super Effective (2×): Double damage
  • Not Very Effective (0.5×): Half damage
  • No Effect (0×): Immune
  • Dual-type stacking: Multipliers combine (4× or 0.25× possible)

💡 Pro Tip: Pokopia's battle system rewards type advantage more than previous games — super effective hits deal 2.2× damage instead of 2×!

What's New in Pokemon Pokopia?

1. Enhanced Type Effectiveness (2.2× Multiplier)

How It Works:

  • Super effective moves now deal 2.2× damage (up from 2×)
  • Not very effective moves deal 0.4× damage (down from 0.5×)
  • Impact: Type matchups matter MORE than ever

Example:

  • Charizard's Flamethrower vs Scizor (4× weakness)
  • Old damage: 2× × 2× = 4×
  • Pokopia damage: 2.2× × 2.2× = 4.84×
  • That's a 21% damage increase!

2. Starter Pokemon Synergy System

New Mechanic:

  • Your starter Pokemon gets a "Synergy Boost" when paired with specific types
  • Boosts STAB moves by an additional 1.2×
  • Encourages team building around your starter

Starter Synergies:

  • Flameroar (Fire) → Synergy with Ground/Rock types
  • Aquavolt (Water/Electric) → Synergy with Flying/Ice types
  • Terravine (Grass/Ground) → Synergy with Poison/Bug types

3. Dynamic Weather System

Weather now affects type effectiveness:

  • Sunny Day: Fire moves +20% damage, Water moves -20%
  • Rain: Water moves +20%, Fire moves -20%
  • Sandstorm: Rock-types get +1 stage Defense
  • Hail: Ice-types immune to freeze, +10% damage

Pokemon Pokopia Starter Guide

Flameroar (Fire Type)

Base Stats:

  • HP: 78 | Attack: 84 | Defense: 78
  • Sp. Atk: 109 | Sp. Def: 85 | Speed: 100

Type Matchups:

  • Weak to: Water, Ground, Rock
  • Resists: Fire, Grass, Ice, Bug, Steel, Fairy
  • Strong against: Grass, Ice, Bug, Steel

Best Moveset:

  • Flamethrower (STAB)
  • Solar Beam (coverage)
  • Dragon Pulse (neutral coverage)
  • Roost (recovery)

Synergy Partners:

  • Rhyperior (Ground/Rock) — Covers Water weakness
  • Garchomp (Dragon/Ground) — Offensive core
  • Toxtricity (Electric/Poison) — Handles Water-types

Strategy: Flameroar excels as a special sweeper. Pair with Drought setters for Solar Beam spam. Watch out for Stealth Rock — it removes 25% HP on switch-in.

Aquavolt (Water/Electric Type)

Base Stats:

  • HP: 85 | Attack: 75 | Defense: 90
  • Sp. Atk: 115 | Sp. Def: 95 | Speed: 85

Type Matchups:

  • Weak to: Ground (4×), Grass
  • Resists: Fire, Water, Ice, Flying, Steel
  • Immune to: None
  • Strong against: Fire, Water, Flying, Bug

Best Moveset:

  • Hydro Pump (STAB)
  • Thunderbolt (STAB)
  • Ice Beam (coverage)
  • Volt Switch (momentum)

Synergy Partners:

  • Landorus (Ground/Flying) — Covers Ground weakness
  • Ferrothorn (Grass/Steel) — Defensive pivot
  • Togekiss (Fairy/Flying) — Special wall

Strategy: Aquavolt's unique Water/Electric typing gives excellent coverage. 4× Ground weakness is brutal — always have a Flying-type or Levitate user on your team.

Terravine (Grass/Ground Type)

Base Stats:

  • HP: 95 | Attack: 110 | Defense: 105
  • Sp. Atk: 80 | Sp. Def: 90 | Speed: 65

Type Matchups:

  • Weak to: Ice (4×), Fire, Flying, Bug
  • Resists: Ground, Rock, Electric (immune)
  • Strong against: Water, Ground, Rock, Electric

Best Moveset:

  • Earthquake (STAB)
  • Power Whip (STAB)
  • Stone Edge (coverage)
  • Synthesis (recovery)

Synergy Partners:

  • Heatran (Fire/Steel) — Covers Ice weakness
  • Corviknight (Flying/Steel) — Defensive core
  • Rotom-Heat (Electric/Fire) — Handles Ice-types

Strategy: Terravine is a physical tank. 4× Ice weakness is its Achilles' heel — never face Ice-types without a counter. Excellent against Electric and Rock-types.

  1. Garchomp (Dragon/Ground) — Wallbreaker with 2.2× Earthquake
  2. Weavile (Dark/Ice) — Revenge killer with Ice Shard
  3. Ferrothorn (Grass/Steel) — Defensive pivot

Strategy:

  • Weavile cleans up weakened teams

Defensive Core (Steel + Fairy + Water)

Example:

  • Toxapex stalls with Toxic + Recover

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Ignoring the 2.2× Multiplier

Mistake: Thinking you can tank a super effective hit Reality: 2.2× damage means OHKOs are way more common

Example:

  • Garchomp's Earthquake vs Heatran (4× weakness)
  • Old damage: ~80% HP
  • Pokopia damage: ~95% HP (guaranteed OHKO)

2. Not Respecting Priority Moves

Mistake: Leaving your sweeper at low HP Reality: Ice Shard, Aqua Jet, Mach Punch are everywhere

Solution: Always have a priority move user on your team

3. Forgetting Weather Boosts

Mistake: Using Fire moves in rain Reality: -20% damage makes Fire-types useless

Solution: Bring weather setters or weather-neutral Pokemon

4. Overrelying on One Type

Mistake: Building a mono-type team Reality: One counter Pokemon walls your entire team

Solution: Diversify your team with 4-5 different types

Pokopia-Exclusive Mechanics

Synergy Boost System

How It Works:

  1. Your starter Pokemon has a "Synergy Gauge"
  2. When paired with synergy-type teammates, gauge fills
  3. At 100%, starter's STAB moves get 1.2× boost
  4. Lasts 3 turns, then resets

Example:

  • Flameroar (Fire) + Rhyperior (Ground/Rock)
  • Synergy activates → Flamethrower deals 1.5× × 1.2× = 1.8× damage
  • Combined with 2.2× super effective = 3.96× total damage

Dynamic Weather Transitions

New Feature:

  • Weather changes every 5 turns automatically
  • Sunny → Rain → Sandstorm → Hail → Clear → repeat
  • Strategy: Build teams that work in multiple weathers
