There are 18 types in the Pokemon world, and they all related to one another differently. As a result, it can be difficult to remember all the matchups and combinations. Throw in the fact that many Pokemon are dual-types, and it gets even more complicated.
Every Pokemon type has its strengths and weaknesses, as well as immunities and resistances. If you need to refresh your memory on how the Pokemon types gel together, or are looking for how a specific type fairs against others, you can use this handy chart as a reference.

Multipliers are used when a Pokemon has two types that are weak to the same type. For example, Swampert, a Ground and Water-type Pokemon, would receive four times damage from Grass-type moves.
If a Pokemon's type means it is completely immune to moves of another type (for example, Normal-type Pokemon are immune to Ghost-type moves), an additional typing doesn't negate this immunity. E.g. A Normal and Electric-type Pokemon will still be immune to Ghost-type moves, despite also being an Electric type.
