Complete Guide to All 18 Types — What Type Is Your Bias?
Fandom Dex has 18 types. Memorizing them one by one is a chore, but group the similar ones together and they start telling a story. We've sorted them into five families — read on while picturing the impression your bias usually gives off. Click any type name to visit its detailed Type Dex page.
The power and presence family
Types with overwhelming energy that commands the stage.
- 🔥 Fire — stage-dominating passion and explosive energy
- 🥊 Fighting — grit and powerhouse performance
- 🐉 Dragon — overwhelming scale and legend-tier presence
- 😈 Dark — rebellious charisma and fierce charm
All four read as "strong," but in different flavors. Fire is a burst in the moment, Dragon is earned seniority, Fighting is grit, and Dark leans rebellious.
The steadiness and trust family
Types that never waver no matter how long you watch — rock-solid fundamentals.
- ⚪ Normal — versatility and broad, dependable appeal
- ⛰️ Ground — weight and solid fundamentals
- 🪨 Rock — sturdiness and grounded presence
- ⚙️ Steel — durability, polish, and professionalism
This family puts trust before flash. If your impression is "they always have the basics down," look here.
The flow and feeling family
Types that flow gently and soothe the heart.
- 💧 Water — flowing flexibility and quiet emotion
- 🌿 Grass — naturalness, healing, and steady growth
- ❄️ Ice — calm, cool composure
Even within the same family there's a temperature difference: Water is flexibility, Grass is warmth, Ice is composed restraint.
The individuality and mystery, scale and freedom family
Types with a distinctive charm you never forget once you've seen it — plus the ones that spark and soar onto bigger stages.
- ☠️ Poison — addictiveness and intense individuality
- 🔮 Psychic — mystique and a one-of-a-kind universe
- 👻 Ghost — dreamy, otherworldly vibes
- 🌟 Fairy — lovable and universally endearing
Poison and Fairy look like polar opposites, but they share one thing: "once seen, never forgotten."
- ⚡ Electric — crackling energy and instant sensation
- 🕊️ Flying — freedom and a reach that spans the world
- 🐛 Bug — fresh-faced spirit and rookie potential on the rise
If Electric is the spark of the moment, Flying is the range that spark opens up, and Bug is potential still growing into itself.
