Cobblemon type chart: every matchup explained
Updated 2026-08-23
Cobblemon uses the standard Generation 9 type chart, so every matchup you know from the mainline Pokemon games applies here. Attacks land for double damage when super effective, half when not very effective, and zero against an immunity.

The immunities that catch people out
- Ground does nothing to Flying. Earthquake is a dead turn against anything airborne or holding an Air Balloon.
- Electric does nothing to Ground. The classic hard counter to an Electric sweeper.
- Normal and Fighting do nothing to Ghost, and Ghost does nothing to Normal.
- Psychic does nothing to Dark, which is why Dark types wall Psychic sweepers completely.
- Dragon does nothing to Fairy, and Fairy hits Dragon for double. Fairy is the single best answer to a Dragon team.
- Poison does nothing to Steel.
Dual types multiply
Against a dual-type Pokemon the two multipliers stack. Ice into a Ground/Flying type like Gligar is 4x. Fighting into a Steel/Fairy type is neutral, because 2x on Steel and 0.5x on Fairy cancel out. And any immunity beats everything: Ground into a Steel/Flying type is still zero damage.
