Weakness not applying

I’ve been in a couple of battles lately and the weakness was not applying. Anyone else?

    Give it examples. If it's against Colorless Pokemon, there was probably a Dunsparce in play.

    I had the same thing happen too, I used a water type Cramorant against an opponent's Victini, and weakness did not apply as it should have, and there was nothing in play that negates weakness.

    Edit: Never mind the cramorant's attack isn't affected by weakness, I guess check for more effects?

    @TechHog is correct. You really need to be as specific as possible @greenbatdad or it's almost impossible for us to identify the possible cause of the issue. What Pokemon were you playing? What was the opponent playing? What energies were attached? What stadiums were in play? What other Pokemon were on the bench? What Trainer cards were in use? Screenshots help, too.

    I have been attacked and affected by weaknesses and resistance, yet it never works in my favor, and I pay attention to all details

    @CARNAGE704 No, you probably don't. Give examples or post a log next time.

    Hello. I most likely encounter a similar problem. I used Charizards Burning Darkness (flame spell) on Torterra EX with double flame weakness, but it has no double effect. Charizards grass weakness works without problem. Can someone look into this please, may be I am missing something.

    The type of the attack is determined by the typing of the Pokemon, not by the energy used for the attack. Charizard ex with the Burning Darkness attack is a dark-type Pokemon, not fire.
