Ruling Weakness question

[MysteryE]

I want to ask some questions about weakness thing...
Pokemon 1: weakness Grass
Pokemon 2: element Dark & Grass
So when 2 attack 1, damage doubled right?

Pokemon 1: weakness Grass & Dark
Pokemon 2: element Dark & Grass
So when 2 attack 1, what will happen? damage doubled?

Pokemon 1: weakness Grass, Resistance Dark
Pokemon 2: element Dark & Grass
What will happen if 2 attack 1?

Those Pokemon cards are just for example, I didn't know if such cards exist because I don't have many cards...

Ok Weakness and Resistance only apply if the card says so.

Pokemon 1: weakness Grass
Pokemon 2: element Dark & Grass
So when 2 attack 1, damage doubled right?

Yes, weakness does Double damage.

Pokemon 1: weakness Grass & Dark
Pokemon 2: element Dark & Grass
So when 2 attack 1, what will happen? damage doubled?

Double Weakness to a pokemon who is both those types does Quadruple damage.

Pokemon 1: weakness Grass, Resistance Dark
Pokemon 2: element Dark & Grass
What will happen if 2 attack 1?

Since there is both types, weakness and resistance both are applied. Weakness comes before resistance so it would do Double damage, then -30 damage because of Resistance.

Hooo!
So there's a Quadruple damage! I never know that!
Weakness come first then Resistance?
how come?
I thought -30 first then doubled...

anyways, thanx a lot for the information!

Yes there is Quadruple damage. It's quite neat actual, almost OHKO's anything. Yes, Weakness comes Before Resistance. It's been a rule for a while now, actually since the beginning I guess or since dual types came in.

Here's a few quadruple weaknesses:

Marowak-delta vs Walrein ex
Magcargo UF (with fighting energy attached) vs Steelix ex or Metagross ex
Magma's Claydol vs Gengar ex
Lanturn Neo3 (with Water energy) vs Charizard ex

That's about all I can think of for now.

Mmmm....
Quadruple damage...
I've never think about that before...
so, it's almost an instant death if that happen... O,o
I never know about that rule, I only know the rule in rulebook from deck ^^...
thanx for those quadruple example and all of infos!
It's make all things become clear then! XD XD
