Introduction
In the normal Pokémon games, certain Pokémon have a complete type advantage over others. For example, ground-based attacks deal zero damage against flying-type Pokémon in the games.
However, in Pokémon Go the playing feel is a bit more level, and Pokémon that are labeled "WEAK" simply have a 0.8 modifier for their total attack and "STRONG" match-ups have a 1.25 modifier for their attack.
To put it another way, Super Effective attacks deal 25% more damage than usual and Not Very Effective attacks deal 20% less damage than usual.
