Palworldlike other RPGs, it uses a basic strengths and weaknesses system, allowing you to do more damage to enemies if you use the right type of moves. As with many games that use a similar mechanic, a type of graph at hand is the key.
If you’ve played a Pokémon game, you probably know the basics: using fire-like moves against grassy friends will do more damage, and using grass-like moves against fire-like friends will do less damage.
PalworldHowever, the view of the elements is a bit simpler than that of Pokémon, because elements do not have multiple weaknesses. That keeps things simple. Are you going against an electric type Pal? Don’t bring water friends. The only element that has multiple strengths is fire, which is strong against both ice and grass.
Remember that despite all this, Pals can still learn other types of movements. The fire-type friend you’re fighting may have a ground-type move, so it’s important to pay attention to the fights – especially during boss fights like Zoe and Grizzbolt – to make sure your friend doesn’t take super-effective damage .

Palworld itself actually offers this type of graph presentation of the different elements in the survival guide:
