In Cassette Beasts, there are 14 different elemental types that monsters can obtain. Whilst each monster has a specific type, types can also be changed through abilities and through super-rare encounters called Bootlegs.
Whilst each monster has a type, their battle moves also have a type. Dealing damage with specific types can cast a Status Effect on the opponent. Status Effects can boost damage, weaken opponents, steal AP and cause damage over time effects.
