Below are type charts, one for the attacking Pokemon, and (hopefully soon) one for the defending Pokemon.

A chart like this leaves some questions unanswered. Such as what happens to Pokemon with dual types, such as the Steel/Fighting Lucario. Fighting is weak to Psychic, so Lucario should be weak to Psychic, right? Well, paradoxically, Steel is also resistant to Psychic, so what does happen? The answer is simple and really quite logical, Steel's resistance and Fighting's weakness to Psychic both cancel each other out, so any Psychic type attack will do normal damage instead of being Super/Non-effective.

The logical outcome also occurs in situations like the Bug/Grass Parasect being hit with a Fire type attack. BOTH types are weak to Fire, so they multiply together, meaning any Fire type attack will do 4x the amount of damage to Parasect.

It is the same with Pokemon like the Steel/Rock Aggron. Both types are resistant to Flying, so Flying type attacks only do 0.25 (one quarter) the amount of damgage to Aggron. And in cases like Zapdos who is Electric/Flying, Flying's immunity completely overrides Electric's weakness to Ground, so they are multiplied together (2x0), and Ground does not do any damgage to Zapdos.
