Type-style problems...

Hey all. I just recently started playing the pokemon games again after about 4 and a half years of not playing one. Since the Red and Blue games were such happy childhood memories for me I decided to go with the Fire Red version, and I've been enjoying it.

There's only one problem...I can't remember any of the type weaknesses and strengths. No matter where I look I haven't been able to find a list of the types and their resulting weaknesses/immunities. I remember a few basic ones, like water beats fire and ground beats lightning, but I'm stumped when it comes to the more obscure kinds. Would anyone be able to provide me with a list like that? It would be greatly(and I mean greatly) appreciated.

I just want to make an addendum to what Yo Shee said:

Fighting does indeed have no effect against Ghost. However, if you use the move Foresight, fighting moves will hit with neutral damage.
 
Wow, just what I was looking for. Thanks to both of you :) That'll help a lot. No more attacking bugs with Primape. Thanks again.
 
My computer was actually getting messed up as I was typing that post, so I just clicked on the post button as fast as I could and then closed it down before I could finish. Here's a couple of more obscure types:

Psychic
Super effective: Fighting, Poison
Not very effective: Psychic, Steel
Doesn't affect: Dark

Dark
Super effective: Ghost, Psychic
Not very effective: Fighting, Dark, Steel

Dragon
Super effective: Dragon
Not very effective: Steel

Steel
Super effective: Ice, Rock
Not very effective: Fire, Water, Electric, Steel, and perhaps a few others.
As you can see, the Steel type offensively is outclassed by Fighting, so moves like Iron Tail and such aren't too helpful most of the time.
 
If you don't want to sit in front of the computer and read these posts while you play, get in any kind of battle, hit the L or R buttons (both work) and go to Type Matchup List. You have to be in a battle to use it though. It's in-game so you can use it all the time.
