Moves have "elements" as well correct? My Elly in Touhoumon had Pursuit, dark type, which seemed pretty effective at the time. then I got a fighter type move (something kick...) and steel type attacks along with a normal.

@Pringles
Das one part. Kabutops definitely can take a hit from an Electric attack and so can Ludicolo. Ludicolo is also very strong against other Grass type. Uxie is good for taking down Toxicroak and other "Dry Skin" pokemon.
This team I just mentioned is an basic UU-tier Rain Dance Offense team, where three pokemon sets up rain dance with high speed, sets up supportive moves, and sometimes kicks ass (I swept with that Electrode once) while the three Pokemon with Swift Swim (Double speed in rain) sweeps.
By utilizing the moveset and the ability to move faster in water, you can overcome the type difference.
@Cuckoo
And yes moves have typage too. When a Pokemon with a certain type uses the same type attack, you get a 20% increased power. This is called STAB, or same-type attack bonus.

@ Wrig
so wait, the type of the move doesn't trigger the opponents weakness? That was gonna be my initial guess on how that worked...
Also does the wiki have a guide fer nubs?

I am here.
So let's say a Tentacruel and a Kadabra is fighting. Kadabra is a Psychic type, but if he uses something like Shadow Ball, the damage dealt to Tentacruel, a Water/Psychic Pokemon, is not super effective.
In short, offense is determined by the move's typage, while defense is determined by the Pokemon's typage.

Edited my IC to include Professor Rowan.

Ehh, I know who Alakazam is, and know a little about Gardevoir, but nothing about the others.
I would have to say... Girafarig?

It's gotta be the ugliest one
I woulda said Gardevoir because of what I heard, but nonono, logic is the uglier it is the more powerful.
And I hate that concept sometimes =w=
And then is proven wrong~
