In the Pokemon video games, there are seventeen different types. Every Pokemon belongs to one type; some may have two. Pokemon moves are also categorized into types. Each type has a strength and a weakness against another type. For example Fire has a type advantage over Grass, therefore the Fire type move will inflict more damage than it normally would upon a Grass type Pokemon. If it were a Fire type move against a Water type Pokemon, then the Fire type move would do less damage than usual. Types generally make a huge difference in a battle. Below are the types' strengths and weaknesses.
Steel: Strengths:: Ice, Rock Weaknesses:: Steel, Electric, Water, Fire
Water: Strengths:: Ground, Rock, Fire Weaknesses:: Dragon, Water, Grass
