Attack (TCG)/Weakness and Resistance

Each Pokémon can have a TCG Weakness or TCG Resistance. If a Pokémon is damaged by an attack that is coming from a Pokémon whose TCG Type is that Pokémon's Weakness or Resistance, then the damage is modified accordingly. On older cards, Weakness was treated as the damage being multiplied by 2, and Resistance was treated as the damage being reduced by 30. On newer cards, however, each card is unique and has printed on it what mathematical operation to apply to the damage.

Some Pokémon have multiple Weaknesses and/or Resistances. For those Pokémon, an attack only needs to be coming from one such type in order to apply Weakness or Resistance. Some Pokémon also have multiple Types. In those cases, each type will trigger Weakness and Resistance separately.

Benched Pokémon typically don't apply Weakness and Resistance when calculating damage, but there are some exceptions when they do.
