Palworld type chart: How elemental types work in Palworld

Many people refer to Palworld as Pokémon with guns, but that’s selling the game short. Sure, you can and will use a host of firearms to fight Pals, but the Pals themselves also have types just like their pocket monster counterparts. And just like in the game that inspired it, Pal types play a huge role in which ones are more effective against the others. Some elemental weakness will be obvious, but the system does work slightly differently than that you might be used to. Here is how elemental types work in Palworld and how all the types interact.

Right off the bat, Palworld has nine different types. Unlike Pokémon, though, each type (with the exception of fire and neutral) is only weak and strong against one other type. That means each Pal will only be weak to one specific element, but since Pals can learn moves from other elements, they can be effective against multiple types. Here are all the types, what they’re strong against, and what they are weak against.

How Ages work in Civilization 7
Tanks and planes fly in Civilization 7.

Your journey in Civilization 7 will take you from the early stages of history all the way through the modern day. This has always been true for the series, but now the game breaks up its progression into distinct chunks known as Ages. This is arguably the biggest change Civilization 7 has made from previous versions, and you need to understand exactly how it works before worrying about any other tips and tricks. Ages aren't just a cosmetic feature but represent important milestones in your Civilization 7 journey that you need to plan for if you hope to come out on top. There's a lot to unpack here so let's break down everything you need to know about how Ages work.
What are Ages?

The easiest way to think of Ages in Civilization 7 is as chapters or major milestones in your game. By default, you start each game in the Antiquity age, move into the Exploration age, and end in the Modern age. You cannot achieve any victory before reaching the Modern age and unlocking your Victory Condition through one of the four Legacy Paths. Essentially, reaching a new Age means you have made significant progress toward one of the possible victory conditions and are moving the game state forward.

After massive fan backlash, Pokémon TCG Pocket is changing how trading works

Pokémon TCG Pocket finally added the trading feature after several months, but it was not well received by fans for its restrictive policies and new types of currency. Since adding the feature in a few days ago, TCG Pocket developer Creatures, Inc has changed its approach and said updates and improvements are on the way, although there is not a specific release window for when the game will implement those changes.

“Since releasing the first iteration of the trading feature a few days ago, we have received a large number of comments. Thank you all for sharing your feedback. The item requirements and restrictions implemented for the trading feature were designed to prevent abuse from bots and other prohibited actions using multiple accounts. Our goal was to balance the game while preserving the fun of collecting cards that are core to the Pokemon TCG pocket experience," the company said in a press release.
