Error in Steelix Weakness/Resistances Chart
Hi GP-Team,
can't see any other way to contact you about this. I just found a possible error in the list of steelixs weakness/resistances. For Poison it states 0.36414 damage taken. But that number can't be lower than 0.51, can it? You can't be more than "imune" to a type, right?
So I think there is a mistake here.

In the main series you can't be, immunity results in 0 damage, but in Go, immunity is just a 0.51x multiplier / double resistance which can also stack with a weakness or resistance multiplier if a Pokemon is dual type.
For example Gengar's ghost typing stacks with poison's resistance to fighting for 0.36x, effectively being a triple resistance, while Zapdos' flying type coupled with electric's weakness to ground only results in 0.71x damage from ground moves i.e a single resistance.
Okay, cool. Thanks for the replies. I only remembered that when they first introduced the 0.51 multiplier for "imunity" there was some discusion about if it stacks with other resistances and the conclusion back then was that the damage taken multiplier (DTM) can't be lower than 0.51.
Thanks for clearifying that they confirmed that "imunity" can stack with an aditional resitance.
