What's the difference between "strong" and "resistant"? or "weak" and "vulnerable"?
I posted this in a Pokémon Go community and haven't yet seen an answer. I thought perhaps it wouldn't hurt to cross-post here:
This is doubtless a basic question to those who've played all the mainline Pokémon games! But I'm just beginning to learn about type advantages.
What's the difference between "strong against" and "resistant to" (and "weak against" and "vulnerable to") in the Pokémon Go type advantages? (For example, normal types are "strong against" no types, but are "resistant to" ghost types. For another example, ice types are both "weak against" and "resistant to" other ice types!
