Unlike other types, the ??? type isnot programmed to have weaknesses orresistances: it is effectivelyneutral. Due to this, however, issuesarise if damaging moves are hacked tobe of this type in the Generation IIand Generation III games: since it wasconsidered neither a physical nor aspecial move, the damage dealt by a???-type move is minimal, even if themove has 255 power, the highestpossible.

Fun Fact: Curse, Judgement and Weather Ball(Castform uses it in PokemonXD: Gale of Darkness when the weather changing move ShadowShadow Skyis used)are the only ???-Type moves.

The ??? type has no weaknesses or strengths, they do normal damage to all types, and ???-type Pokemon receive normal damage from all other types.

My source was my own information and tests when I was playing colleseum and XD. It’s also mentioned onBulbapedia here.
