Finding Your Pokémon Type/Partner

Every player finds themselves drawn to a certain Pokémon type or “partner.” It’s part of the fun and helps you build your style of play.

• Fire: Fast and powerful, think Charizard and Arcanine.

• Water: Balanced and strategic, Squirtle or Empoleon..

• Psychic: Tricksters and mind games, Mewtwo, Espeon.

• Grass: Growth and recovery, like Bulbasaur, and Leafeon.

• Electric: High speed, disruptive attacks, often low-cost but fragile. Pikachu, Jolteon, Zapdos

• Fighting: Heavy hitters, strong against Normal, often energy-efficient. Machamp, Lucario, Hitmonlee

• Darkness: Aggressive, sneaky strategies, often damage-boosting. Umbreon, Tyranitar, or even Absol

• Metal: Defensive, tanky, often reduces incoming damage. Scizor, Steelix, Dialga

• Dragon: Versatile and powerful, usually need multiple Energy types. Rayquaza, Dragonite, Salamence

• Fairy (retired from newer sets, but still in older TCG and making a comeback in newer gens!): Charming but tricky, focused on healing/support. Sylveon, Togekiss, Gardevoir

• Normal/Colorless: Flexible, often acting as support or utility Pokémon. Eevee, Snorlax, Pidgeot
  
  

Your favorite Pokémon can guide how you play and what you collect. Who’s your partner Pokémon?

Grow & Glow

Every type gives you a way to shine, but part of the journey is learning how to grow from your strengths and improve on your weaknesses.

If you’re great at fast offense with Fire or Fighting decks, try experimenting with Water or Grass to build more patience and strategy. If you’re a defensive Metal player, testing out Electric or Psychic can help you get comfortable with risk and creativity.

The more types you explore, the more well-rounded you become as a Trainer. Finding your partner is just the first step, growing into a player who can adapt and glow in any matchup is where the real fun begins.

Tip: Your partner and you don’t need to be exactly the same but similarities as well as differences can be the deciding factor in your future wins! So, who’s your partner Pokémon?
