Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the first Pokémon game to supply united states with a chart.

This beautiful chart comes nearly two hours into the game when you and Rei have a do battle. Pokémon veterans won't notice any huge shakeups in the type match-ups. However, since we've got a wondrous nautical chart, it's better to know than to tell.
