The other day I was using a Hariyama with 2 fighting type moves to battle a jynx. Seeing as jynx is psychic (resists fighting) and ice (weak to fighting), it should take neutral damage. You can confirm this by googling jynx’s type resistances. However, my Hariyama was dealing “Not very effective damage”. I’ve had the same experience when using electric moves against rayquaza. They should be neutral, but they’re not very effective. Anyone else having these issues?

I’m not, but that’s probably because I haven’t battled in a while

Due to how the super effective and resistance works, if they are a dual typing like that and is super effective with one type, and resistance with another, it comes out to 0.994 times damage, so thats why it says it is still resist
