Does double weakness count ?

Hi, I've learned here that attacking on a pokemon's weakness deals x1.25 damage. Is this bonus doubled if the defending pokemon has a double weakness ?

I assumed it was not counting but i just 1v1'd a 1400cp gyarados with a 800cp jolteon and i know gyarados is strong and jolteon is supposed to be trash tier.

hope my question is clear, english is not my 1st language.

In the main games, pokemon can have 2x weakness or 4x weakness, but in this game they can only have weakness applied once (though the multiplier is 1.25x instead of 2x). Weakness will multiply with STAB though, so the max is 1.525x.

Immunity is scaled down to resistance, which is scaled down to .8x in this game. Whether or not that makes Aerodactyl receives Ground moves 1x, I don't know (I think Immunity should at least be double penalized to negate the effect of the other type being weak).

This is the late answer, but based on latest research, weaknesses do stack. Jolteon's attack do x1.25x1.25 on account of Electric being effective against both flying and water.
