In the {{uv|Pokémon}} series, each Pokémon has one or two {{s|bulbapedia|type}}s, and each attack has one type. Whenever an attack hits a Pokémon, the damage dealt is altered by any weaknesses or resistances caused by the type combination. For example, a Water attack will deal double damage to a Fire or Rock Pokémon, while a Grass attack will deal half damage to a Fire-type, and an Electric attack will have no effect on a Ground-type Pokémon. | In the ''{{uv|Pokémon}}'' series, each Pokémon has one or two {{s|bulbapedia|type}}s, and each attack has one type.

The ''Brawl'' system is a heavily simplified form of the originally seventeen ({{s|bulbapedia|Fairy}} added in games released after ''Brawl'') types and hundreds of type interactions—only three types are involved, and each of the three Pokémon the mechanic applies to has exactly one weakness and one resistance. If all type interactions were carried over into ''Brawl'', Pokémon would take altered damage from several other attack types; such as [[freezing]] attacks being effective on Ivysaur. ''Brawl'' also only applies any sort of type effectiveness to Pokémon summoned by Pokémon Trainer; other playable Pokémon are not affected in any way. In addition, Grass, Fire and Water each resist themselves in the ''Pokémon'' series, but this is not reflected in ''Brawl'' as Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard take regular damage from attacks of their own types. | The ''Brawl'' system is a heavily simplified form of the originally seventeen ({{s|bulbapedia|Fairy}} added in games released after ''Brawl'') types and hundreds of type interactions—only three types are involved, and each of the three Pokémon the mechanic applies to has exactly one weakness and one resistance.
