Immune + resistant?
If a dual type pokemon is imune and resistant to a certain type attack does it get only 0,51 x 0,714 = 0,364 damage?
example:
Butterfree (Flying/Bug) vs Ground attacks (flying gives immunity and bug gives single resistance)
Answers
The point is "can't do lower than Immune"
Main games: "can't go lower than 0"
Pkmn Go: "can't go lower than 0.51"
When Immunity is present, it's 0.51, no matter what other types affecting, probably.
...even when other calculations multiply each other's numbers, apparently.
Either way, we'll see soon...
Guys, why are you downvoting this comment? He IS correct: if you go to butterfree's page, you shall see it receives .51x damage from ground types.
Truthfully man I hope they are wrong and that butterfree receives even less damage due to the resistance. I do understand the logic if the typings are such that an immunity represents the floor of damage multipliers (.51x)
I actually have this question too...
Another scenario is earthquake against charizard, which, if one were to multiply the types together, would be .51 (against flying) * 1.4 (against fire)
However, in the main series, the immunity would override the SE damage.
I HOPE gamepress is wrong, in that butterfree would only take .36x damage from ground attacks. I also understand the logic as to why .51 would be the floor no matter what. This way, when PvP is released, it will reward players that understand type effectiveness, and widen the player skill gap!
