Types keep your collection organized. They also power tags, colors, and type‑chart relationships like strengths and weaknesses.
1) Overview
Go to Configuration → Pokemon Types to manage types (Fire, Water, Electric, etc.). Each type can have a color and a simple type chart (strengths and weaknesses).
- Type Name
- Color
- Strengths / Weaknesses
- Pokemon Count
2) How it works
Colors and tags
Type colors are used in tags so lists and kanban cards become easier to read at a glance.
Why it matters: People make fewer mistakes when they can spot a type visually.
Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths and weaknesses are optional lists. They don’t “auto‑calculate battles”, but they help your team keep decisions consistent.
Tip: keep the chart simple and consistent
3) Step-by-step guide
- Open Configuration → Pokemon Types and click Create.
- Enter the Type Name (for example, “Fire”).
- Pick a Color (helps tags stand out).
- Open the Type Chart tab and add Strengths and Weaknesses (optional).
- Save. Then go back to Pokemon and start using the type in Pokemon records.
Best practice: Decide a standard set of types for your organization and avoid duplicates (like “Electric” and “Electrics”).

5) Field name explanation
Type Name
The name you’ll pick when creating Pokemon and Moves. Keep it short and consistent.
Example: Use “Electric”, not “Elec” in one place and “Electric” elsewhere.
Color
A visual helper. It doesn’t change logic; it improves readability and reduces mistakes.
Example: Make Water blue, Fire red, Grass green.
Strengths / Weaknesses
A simple “type chart” reference. Use it for training, consistency, and quick decisions.
Example: Electric has Strengths vs Water and Weaknesses vs Ground.
Pokemon Count
Automatically tells you how widely a type is used in your collection.
Example: If Pokemon Count is 0, the type might be unused or newly created.
Description
Optional notes about the type for your team (training, conventions, or internal meaning).
Example: “Common in coastal routes.”
6) Tips
- Create types before Pokemon so your team can select them quickly.
- Use a single naming standard (title case, one word) to keep search results clean.
- Use the Pokemon tab on a type record to see which Pokemon belong to it.
7) Common mistakes
- Duplicate names: the system blocks duplicates, but similar names can still confuse users (e.g., “Fire” vs “Fire Type”).
- Overcomplicating the type chart: keep Strengths/Weaknesses practical for your use case.
- Forgetting color: tags become harder to scan when everything looks the same.
