Pokémon Sword and Shield: Isle of Armor - Pokémon-Type Strengths and Weaknesses Guide

Below are the 18 types, listed in alphabetical order. Under the name of a type, there will be a plus (+) and minus (-) icon. The plus icon indicates types against which the primary type is strong, and the minus icon indicates types against which the primary type is weak. Remember to keep an eye on your opponent, access what type they are, and then let them have it with a smart trade. Pokémon also have up to two types, so be careful of what may be the less obvious: this could be something your Pokémon is weak for.
