Type chart

This Palworld type chart contains all weaknesses, resistances, and elemental type relationships, and is essential to understanding the combat system and how to win battles. There are nine different types and, while each one relates to at least one other type in some way, some types are just better overall, with more advantages and less weaknesses. With that in mind, here's the full type chart for Palworld and an explanation of all Element matchups in the game.

Palword type chart, strengths and weaknesses
Type	Strong against	Weak against
Water	Fire	Electric
Fire	Ice Grass	Water
Grass	Ground	Fire
Ground	Electric	Grass
Electric	Water	Ground
Ice	Dragon	Fire
Dragon	Dark	Ice
Dark	Neutral	Dragon
Neutral	None	Dark

In practice you take x1.5 damage from types you're weak to, and x0.5 damage from types that you're strong against. Equally, you deal 1.5x damage to those you're effective against, and deal less to those you're weak to.

When it comes to dual-type Pals, they have any contrary weaknesses and resistances cancel each other out. For example, a Water/Grass Element Pal won't take either extra or less damage from Fire - just a regular amount.

This means that not all types in Palworld are equal - Fire has two different advantages, and Neutral has no advantages whatsoever for example - which should already inform a few choices about the general kind of Pal party that you want to build as a default.

Of course, if you plan to take down any of the Palworld bosses, you will want to build your party accordingly to exploit their specific weaknesses. So if you have a Dragon Pal to beat, bring a lot of Ice-types, or at least some Pals with Ice attacks and so on!
