There are few days when Pokémon GO is available to millions of people that little by little they are leveling up your coaches and that they are learning the ins and outs of this augmented reality video game that is becoming the most important social phenomenon of the year and this summer. At the moment everything is almost fabled and the good vibes exist among those players who meet in the poképaradas to get more pokéballs and thus then go directly to the gyms to try to beat the Pokémon that some member of another team has left to rule it.
But in a matter of weeks the fight will be fierce for the control of that gym in your town or your neighborhood, so you will have to specialize to know the differences between the different types of attack and defense. Surely you have noticed that each Pokémon you hunt has a different type of attack or defense and makes the difference it will have when it is faced with another Pokémon. This type is very important to know how to choose the Pokémon we want to face the one that governs a Gym, since although it may have more power in combat points, if we know how to choose one that has a type of attack that suits it very well in its weak point, we can get a great advantage.
The attack and defense graph of the Pokémon
First of all, I have to say that this graph not 100% accurateas it is based on the databases of all types of Pokémon. A graph that can come in handy to give you a specific idea of the capabilities of each type of attack or defense and that in most cases will be worth it perfectly. But what has been said, may not work as expected with some.
All Pokémon creatures have their own moves assigned to a type of attack or defense. Each type has its strengths and its weaknesses both in attack and defense. In battle, you should use Pokémon and moves that have a kind of advantage over your opponent; This will deal more damage than a normal attack. So the knowledge about each one will allow you to have an advantage over your opponent if you know how to use the Pokémon you have.
An advantage of a type, for example a water attack against a land type, will score twice a normal hit. Perks are added as well, so a double-type perk (for example a water attack against a ground or rock type) will allow you to quadruple the damage. In these cases you will always see a message that should say something like "very effective".
Experience is a degree
In the graph you can see the type of damage in the conversion of the colors on the right. Yellow for no effect, orange for not very effective, more intense orange for normal attack, and red for super effective (200%). The user who has made this graph has also arranged other five versions with different colors in case it is in yellow, orange and red you don't like it. You can find them from this link to Imgur.
Like everything in life, knowing how all attacks and defenses are managed will make you a better player with higher values. Pokémon has not come out two days ago, but has been able to mark a whole culture since the 90s when it emerged taking with it millions of fans around the world. So the confluence that Pokémon GO will mean when it is available globally will be almost epic if this trend of not a week continues to be at the same level.
I emphasize again that this graph is valid for get an idea rather of what types of attacks or defense will come in handy, you will surely find that some do not work. I also recommend this small game guide, one to save battery while playing and another to consume less data.
