Understanding the Palworld type chart will help a lot when you battle other Pals and far deadlier Alpha Pals and bosses. Like Pokemon, each Pal has its own type which grants it particular resistances and vulnerabilities to some of the other types. Most types have only one weakness and one strength, which means they're quite simple to learn and will help you create a well rounded Palworld squad for any fight. Here's everything you need to know about all the Pal types, including a handy type chart and a list of the strengths and weaknesses of each one.
Full Palworld type chart
The full type chart for Palworld is shown above, as it appears in the tutorial (assuming you go looking for it). The arrows represent advantages and disadvantages - for example, Ground attacks do increased damage against Electric, but electric does less damage against Ground.
What should be immediately clear is that not all types are equal - Fire has two different advantages, and Neutral has no advantages whatsoever, which should already inform a few choices about the general kind of Pal party that you want to bring with you as a default. Of course, if you plan to take down any of the Palworld bosses, you can build your party accordingly to exploit their weaknesses - if you have a Dragon Pal to beat, bring a lot of Ice-types, or at least some Pals with Ice attacks!
