The weaknesses of psychic types, represents base fears of humans: the fear of Darkness, Ghosts and bugs

[@Nz_Miz]

Yeh and fighters are afraid of flying

[@dxrkicey62]

@@Nz_Miz No, it’s super effective Because fighting likes face to face combat while flying well… can fly therefore has a clear advantage.

Here are some extra tips to help you remember some of these matchups more easily: - Dragon resists the 4 types that belong to the 4 Starters: Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Pikachu - Dragon is weak to Ice because dragons are reptiles which can't stand cold climates, this is also why they aren't bothered by Fire because they enjoy that type of climate - In japanese the Dark Type is called the Evil Type, so the Fighting Type is kind of the Superhero/Good Guy Type, hence why it is super effective and resistant to Dark/Evil. - Fairies in myths are mostly associated with forests and since a Fire can burn a forest down, Fairies can't do much against the Fire, since it is an unstoppable force of nature, which they belong to (Why isn't this a weakness then instead of a resistance? We'll never know...) - Ghost resists Poison cause you can't poison something that is intangible - Another way you can remember Poison being strong against Fairy is because in the famous fairytale "Snow White" a poisonous apple is what kills her - Steel on the other hand is strong against Fairy because again in fairytales Steel represents swords and other weapons, which are very powerful (like the sword that killed Maleficent) - As for Steels resistances aside from Normal, Bugs can't bite through Steel plating or objects, Grass is mostly cut by Steel-like objects like hedge clippers, but Dragon on the other hand is resisted because in Fairytales and myths Dragons are usually slain with a sword which is a weapon of pure Steel - Water resists Steel because Steel objects are mostly heavy and therefore sink in Water - And lastly Psychic is strong against Poison because it is believed that you can cure yourself of a disease or illness through meditation

[@SqquareLord]

or psychic can force the poison on the poison type itself, that's how I remember jt

[@GurpreetSingh-yf1oi]

Damn, that is impressive man ❤️

[@Itsk0sy]

I must say Im impressed by this coment, well done bro!! Helped me a lot 🤝👏

[@ArchangelJaceAscended]

Comin late, but I want to add to this. In many legends (and games like D&D), fairies are weak to a substance called Cold Steel. Anything made of Cold Steel will hurt fairies more than even regular steel. Thus, why fairies are weak to Steel. Also, the logic behind why fire is resistant to fairy (because it's resistant to grass and fairies live in the forest) can also explain why fairies are weak to poison. If you poison the forest, the fairies have no place to live. I also think about the scene in the movie Labyrinth where Sarah encounters a fairy and Hoggle sprays the fairy with poison to kill it as if it's a bug.

[@JamalJames12345]

I just don’t use gengar and I know all of rhem

[@SoinEight]

Fun Fact: Some Types Are 2x Resisted To Another Types In Pokémon Go Because They Are Immune To Those types In main Games

[@bindannmalafk1125]

Ice is effective against Dragons because. Dragons are a Kind of lizard and cold blooded. So if it is cold ,they are slow

[@cooking_with_nisha07]

No, in an interview pokemon company explain dragon typing is weak against ice because dragons are like dinasour and most of dinasour got extinct on ice Age that's why dragons are weak against ice

[@ramisawesome8793]

@@cooking_with_nisha07 thats probably the real reason but i think the cold blooded fact will make it easy to remember

[@JackTottenhamHS]

And fairy

[@danclaydon3971]

Missed out on triple resistance which tbh is only a Pokemon GO thing since they combine the resistance on dual types which one shares a resistance and double resistance to a single type. Pokemon like Garchomp, Excadrill, Bisharp, Torterra, Steelix, Gengar and probably more all have triple resistances.

[@baxterfraser]

Also mawile is triple resistance to dragon and tropius also triple resistance to ground

[@Cubeguy7]

Y’all are forgetting the most common one in GBL. Obstagoon is the first Pokémon I think of when it comes to triple resistances

[@isaiahblackbeard]

He did mention triple resistance

[@yngfljm2277]

he literally didn't tho?

[@0sirzatch372]

Bastidon triple resist poision type moves

[@joni2417]

The way I imagine how Ground effective against Poison and resists it is that I imagine how radioactive or toxic waste is burried underground.

[@aliabbaszoher5618]

The wierd thing about PoGo is that they've swapped immunities with double resistance. For example Swampert being Water/Ground in regular games is immune to Electric.But here in PoGo its now Single resistant to Electric because one of its 2 resistances gets cancelled by Water's weakness to Electric and hence 2-1=1 i.e. Swampert now single resists Electric i.e. x0.6 damage

[@Megalokokona]

because that would be very annoying if u couldn`t volt switch down a 2 hp swampert

[@jaunmirza8246]

Man swampert always messes me up I always think its weak to electric. Loke other water mons but its not

[@ethanhartawan9662]

@@jaunmirza8246 espesially when u forget what counters it lol

[@notlucki3]

I hate it wish they put the types how he made them, and let you switch in battle more often

[@merku2day]

Or ground type Pokemon one shotting flying type it really makes no sense

[@joni2417]

The way I imagine how Steel is effective against fairy. Is when I saw some movies where fairies were hurt, burnt or their power were reduced by silver objects. Or do I think about vampires?

[@kylie7780]

In folklore "Cold iron" is historically believed to repel, contain, or harm ghosts, fairies, witches, and other malevolent supernatural creatures.

[@nejilee_]

Thank you Poke Daxi

[@ivantheturtle3701]

A really useful thing to remember Psychic type matchups, is that the most common fears are darkness, ghosts and bugs. Here's some other ones: Dragon type loses to steel because im fairytales, usually the dragon is slain by the hero's sword. Fighting is strong against dark because dark represents cheap or underhanded fighting tactics, so martial arts will always beat those.

[@KryptoKiddi]

Ghost double resists poison because ghosts can’t be poisoned since they’ve already died. Fairy resists bug since fairies usually use bugs as tools as humans do horses. Fire can symbolize evil so fairy being good can go ahead and destroy the evil.

[@bronwynroberts860]

Uh Fairy isn’t super effective against Fire, Fairy is resisted by Fire.

[@lvdawnll8166]

Just wow! I'm going to rewatch this for sure! Seems like steel types would be a good choice for battles against most other types.Great video! Thank you! 👍

[@afkgamer1449]

Needed this sooo bad thx bro loving the content❤️✨🔥

[@jaderbug8138]

I always remember dark being weak to fighting because of shadow boxing

[@JKB-qp6sf]

Great Video. Thank you so much for doing. Will there a video in the future on best or top 3 -5 -10 Pokémon for PVP for each type? Thanks

[@befogs1916]

I NEEDED THIS, DAXI UR VIDEOS R THE BEST

[@nathanielbean3119]

thanks man i needed this

[@gabrielalves303]

before anyone asks, there is no type in the game that is double resisted by two types, therefore, while theoretically possible, there is no combination that quadruple resists a type.

[@evelyie]

I like to remember the Psychic- and Poison-type matchups to that Stranger Things scene, where 11 pull out that parasyte from inside her leg with her mind powers.

[@vilonis2638]

Great idea for this video you sure help alot of us :D

[@nishanalam7098]

Bug lives in dark so bugs are super affective to dark. Ghosts lives in dark; dark is super affective to ghosts . Some logic(*_*;

[@chrisxclancy5275]

Dax! Love the videos man. Could you maybe do a vid on all of the current shinies available in game? I listen to you while I work so I’d rather get the info from you and it could be a cool video. Just a thought. Thanks man!

[@joni2417]

The way I imagine how Psychic is effective against poison. Is when I saw some movies where healers removed poison out of bodies of their patients. I think the healers used telekinesis or chakra.

[@juniorg8162]

Oh that's actually super helpful, thanks for commenting about it 🙏🏻

[@ised-5239]

Or yoga or sutras

[@pancouvervenguins8573]

I just think of cult leaders using psychology to get their followers to drink poison

[@tm9422]

Great analysis bro, thank you very much!!!

[@jeremyvelez8362]

i love the pictures and i love how you’re idea of psychic person is they meditate all the time lol thanks for the in depth explanations tho!!

This was really really helpful

[@reu_02]

Great video 🤩👍. A video suggestion for the future could be the best gym defenders to keep and use

[@MonuMassey]

Really helpful ❤️

[@Bl_ites]

Took me three whole months to fully memorise everything. It’s better to leave it to experience instead of trying to take it in all at once imo. The competitive player’s pain… Edit: Some stuff are pretty easy, like water and fire or fire and ice. Others you have to find interesting ways to remember. One way someone once taught me was psychic types. The mind is usually afraid of the dark, ghosts and bugs so there you have it

[@lolgod1695]

I've been doing pokemon/watching the anime since I was born, so I just know all of them despite rarely playing pogo/gbl

[@MiquelUlin]

3 months? I play with splitscreen with a chart open. Easy wins. Smartphones can be smart for you 🤯

[@provlogspokego3346]

THIS IS THE VIDEO I AM WAITING FOR🎉🎉✨

[@juniorg8162]

I saw in a different video about a great way to remember why dark is super effective against psychic. It goes something like "Psychic Pokémon can't read dark-type mons thoughts because they are so twisted and chaotic. So it makes it impossible for them to understand what they are thinking"

[@ShiftyWolf117]

Yes! I needed this video. Thank you. I keep using the wrong Pokemon in pvp.

[@hanifaikid9181]

Thanks for this helpful fact 👍🏼

[@souhardya.001]

You can Remember like this : Fiary resists bug cuz fairys ARE sort of bugs . They have wings and antennas and everything . So maybe they resist their own kind

[@kurtavergonzado575]

This helped me learn more about resisted types and I’ve been playing Pokémon for 14 years. Im 19.

[@ATVPokemonMaster_02]

It's really a fun way to Explain typings 😂! Btw I just simply remember typings.

I started playing Pokémon go in December (and knew nothing about it) and already learned all the type matchups

[@mobile-monkey7573]

Ive been playing pokemon for years and im still not sure about these, thanks daxi! 😅

[@Triattt]

To remember dragon's resistance, you just gotta think of the 4 original starters: bulbasaur, squirtle, charmander and pikachu.

[@garyn3323]

Not having the pokemon heritage of many, this is super helpful when all you know is pokemon go.

[@onyx-101]

This must've take him so much time to edit 🙂 leaving a like and comment for your time and effort

[@karnajitxgamer.9482]

Funny but I was complaining to my dog about how I suck at PvP and that I don't understand the rules of resisting and supper effectiveness. Then the next day BAAAAMMM new video explaining everything. Life is funny .Btw my dog is a really good listener and responds sometimes.

[@joni2417]

The way I imagine how Steel resists poison is that toxic or radioactive waste is also stored in steel barrels.

[@XTC_SHRONKs]

I first watched mandjtv’s videos on this a few years ago

[@baxterfraser]

8:48 because poison was related to fatal diseases, and psychic was related to willpower. Apparently people have a much higher chance to survive diseases if they have the will to live.

[@cedricgant8535]

Love the mind tricks.

[@darkessraven]

Steel used to also resist dark and ghost types but it was removed to balance the video games. It happen when Gen 6 introduced Fairy type so before Pokemon Go. This throws people off if their mindset is still around Gen2 and Gen3

[@gabrielalves303]

oh yeah and in gen 1 fire didnt resist ice

[@pranavashankarganeshan7583]

Dax this is like a physics class ALL HAIL PROFESSOR DAX

[@mhiekkoo5481]

I think fairy is resistant to bugs because there's some movies where fairy characters accompanied by bugs or use the nature itself. So that's why I think it is

[@asportsfan]

My two favourite Pokémon KZbins doing the same video

[@sahilchhajed3991]

This was the most important video for all pokemon go players like me who have problems in remembering this damage and super effective things 🤪 Thanks POKEDEXI🙏😍

[@emilkross6320]

I remember the type matchups because i split the types in groups, the elemental types, mystical types (dragon, fairy, dark, etc) and realistic types (normal, flying, fighting, etc) and when other types clash like electric and flying, i just know those because i have been playing pokemon my whole life

[@gabrielalves303]

in my head i split them into elemental, mineral, animal and fantasy. and then there's poison which doesn't fit into anything poison is such a weird type

[@Devilofdoom]

The trick to remembering the dragon type resistance is it's the 4 gen starter elements. Bulbasaur (Grass), Squirtal (Water), Charmander (Fire), Pikachu (Electric)

[@Retroactive93]

Been studying types lately and I’ve been playing on and off (mostly off) since Pokémon red on game boy! It’s just so confusing to me. I came here because Daxi is the goat and is great at explaining things. Hopefully I have it down by the end of the year

[@generousgeoffrey]

Mand-j-tv is my new favourite way to pronounce m-and-j-tv

[@itzfaroff456]

I feel like fighting should do superefective to bugs bc fighters can squish bugs ez and also why is poison not effective on normal types like normal ppl die to poison right and i also feel like dragons should be super effective on every type

[@gabrielalves303]

honestly the "official" reason why bug and fighting resist each other is ridiculous, it's worth looking up

[@waffleweirdo1252]

have you ever tried to punch a fly?

[@ratedgamerd9908]

Nice video

[@Dragnmastralex]

I never remember all this so I just print out a chart and quickly glance at what I need.

[@tamaslajosnemeth33]

Wow, those mind tricks made me forget what i already knew xD

[@Meqa]

i remember Dragon being resistant to the 4 kanto starter Pokémon :)

[@pieterbakers8181]

Maybe you can make a video about what type combinations are good for pvp? So wich pokemon could work together and wich are not a good idea to put together. Nice video tho👍

[@gabrielalves303]

there is a wolfeyvgc video where he does just that. it doesn't translate 1 to 1 but it's still pretty usable

[@joni2417]

The way I imagine how Ice is effective against Grass is that experiment in physics or chemics where you put a rose into fluid nitrogen or oxygen. When you take it out and slam it on something it breaks into shards. Remembers me of a very cold Ice Age.

[@bigchungus920]

Ice burns plants. It's my way of remembering it

[@kioto2879]

Psychic is strong against Poison because the human mind can analyze and develop antidotes for different poisons and diseases

[@thefireninja7601]

I remember the types because of my experience with Pokémon in general firm the series to the games

[@kurtslavain]

8:53 - Psychic is good against poison cause of the eastern pgilosophy that the mind can heal the body through meditation, etc.

[@mingyidaniel]

5:54, My guess on why ghost is resistant towards poison, is usually poison are poisonous towards alive creatures, ghosts are already "dead", thus can't do much, i.e. can't "poison them to death"

[@gabrielalves303]

its always so weird to me that some pokemon canonically die. Every time there's a pokemon that gains the ghost type upon evolution it's implied that it died. the fact that they did this with a starter is particularly mind boggling

[@pauljameslopez4105]

Rock is super effective against flying because of the saying “two birds, one stone”.

[@alexnabrynski527]

Didn’t see this example in the comments or video but if you have a dual type like charizard, and use a ground move, the damage done is 2x resisted even though ground is super effective against fire. This is because in the main games, double resists are immune to the moves so flying immune to ground type trumps grounds super effect to fire. Took me a minute to realize this coming from the main games but it’s a must know for those rare cases.

[@Inspirator_AG112]

Always remember to bring Dialga instead of Pachirisu to a Lugia Raid!

[@dimetriesclink8280]

The reason it's resistant to poison is because it doesn't have a physical body to poison but that's just my theory

[@poke_go_hub]

Dark type imagination is funny!!🤣🤣🤣big fan beo

[@theinstinct6700]

He explains even the basic to basic things so well

[@Notmostafafri]

Nice

[@notlucki3]

Ghost resist poisen because they are dead and poisen affects living tissue. Bug resist fairy because u know girls usually hate bugs Gf made fire resist fairy for balance.

[@marktaarning9639]

I’ve heard someone say that fire is resistant to fairies because fairies is in often in a nature/grass type of place

[@josephford9270]

Hey great video thanks man Fun fact: If you are meditating and experiencing negative thoughts then that means the meditation is working and you shouldn't suppress them. Better out than in

[@abasketofcrutches2955]

Can't help but think this would be more memorable with match ups. Like using datkrai to raid mewtwo

[@SickTwisted]

they definitely should have made steel types super effective against themselves, it makes sense why it resists so many, but it would also make sense for it to be super effective against itself

[@hellfighter7576]

You can't poison ghost because its already dead.

[@MrPBSGaming]

My way of remembering psychic type moves are super effective against fighting is that brain always wins over physical power and aggression and against poison because poisoning can be cured by psychic powers.

[@shriketail7319]

Another thing to note is that some dual typings end up resisting some move types.. For example, Talonflame is Fire/Flying.. Its Fire typing is weak against Ground moves, but its Flying typing "double-resists" Ground moves.. Thus, it still "single-resists" (or simply, resists) Ground moves.. Other examples are Swampert (Water/Ground) against Electric moves, and Sableye (Dark/Ghost) against Fighting moves.. Just sharing..

[@merku2day]

I feel like that's so stupid ground type Pokemon should not one shot a flying type they need to change it back to the regular Pokemon formula

[@egg928]

Steel has so many resistances because just the idea it’s super strong and stuff like ice or rock if you throw ice or a rock at steel the ice or rock would just break on it

[@joeelbambinoj.9236]

I need like an icon printout cheat sheet of this 😅 Much appreciated though!

[@revellations7741]

Real quick: In the event of a Pokémon that is two types eg: Flying+Rock If a move is resisted by one and super effective by the other it is neutral (Ice is super against flying and resisted by rock), however if ONE resists the move and the other is neutral (Normal is resisted by rock and neutral to flying) the move is resisted. This works too with super effective (one resisting one weak= neutral, one neutral one super effective = 1.6x)

[@laughterclub6449]

I learned the typings Bcoz I love pokemon from when I was a 4 years old boy 👦 I always love them that I learned about their typings And only not Pokemon Go I also paly other official pokemon games 😍😌

Fun fact Daxi It’s actually M and J TV

[@SirGriefALot]

😵 2 mins in and I realize I should have been taking notes.

[@doritofan1002]

Fairies in stories often live in the forests similar to bugs.. living in tree and flowers I imagine that’s why they are resistant to bugs since they live in the same environment. And ghost resist poison because… how are you gonna poison a ghost?

[@medichampion328]

Interesting thing I've noticed is Torterra is weak to Bug moves despite Ground resisting Bug.

[@arkzeroone8879]

Mom I learned chemistries and physics on PoGo with Daxi
