Tell me, /vp/, how do you think GF decides on what weaknesses and strenghts a double typed Pokémon has?

Because I find it rather random. Bulbapedia has a rule described, but there are Pokémon that contradict it.

For example, Sableye and Spiritomb don't have weaknesses, but Archeops is fucking weak to himself (Rock). Why is the weakness valid in one and no the other?

Rock does neutral damage to itself but is SE to Flying. Result is 2x weakness to Rock. Lrn to math

That's why I asked in the first place, genius. I can't find a pattern/rule that double types follow.

And Dark makes 1/2 damage to Dark and x2 to Ghost, how does that give you no weakness?

Because Dark is the initial type of Sableye and Spiritomb. Order of types on a dual-type Pokemon matters.

But then it should do normal damage. Dark/Ghost has no weaknesses.

Yes, I'm an idiot. I forgot we were talking about a Dark type in the first place. Sorry everyone. Thanks for the tip, I'll try to do the math with the other double types to see what happens.

Quoted By:

When a Pokemon has 2 types, the weaknesses and resistances overlap each other. If a Pokemon's types both resist a particular type, they resist it twice. The same applies for weakness except damage doubles for each type it had that is weak to that particular type. Immunities stack as well and completely nullify any weaknesses it has to the type it it's immune to. Dark/ghost has no weakness because dark's weaknesses are covered by ghost residences except fighting which ghost is immune to and vice versa. Once you understand, it becomes simple math
