Pokemon Type Match-Up

After collecting a good number of Pokemon and leveling up your Trainer character, you may find yourself gearing up to start taking on Pokemon Gyms and engaging in various Pokemon Battles. Defeating a defending Trainer within a Gym is harder than you might think. It’s more than just having a high CP Pokemon. There are strategies built into the Pokemon world that many don’t realize. One of the best ways to have a stronger defense or attack strength against a Gym is to learn the Pokemon Type Match-Ups.  

Bug Type:

Bug type attacks do double damage against Grass, Psychic, and Dark.  Bug type Pokemon typically evolve faster than other Pokemon.  Grass type attacks do double damage against Ground, Rock, and Water.  Grass type Pokemon can be caught anywhere near trees, just like Bug type Pokemon.  Examples of Bug and Grass type Pokemon include Paras, Bulbasaur, and Weedle.  Ghost and Ground Type:
