Type

A Digimon's Type (型 kata, suffixed -gata or タイプ Taipu) indicates what sort of category a Digimon's specific species belongs to. Many of these simply indicate what a Digimon is based on and only come into play under certain situations - some Digimon may have a certain advantage or disadvantage to a Digimon of another type. Or an item will work on a Digimon of one type or not the other.

Types can be oddly exclusive, with many of them only including a handful of Digimon total.
