What is Inverse?
In Inverse, the type chart is flipped on its head, just like in battles against the guy in the Inverse House in Pokemon X and Y. Super effective attacks become not very effective and vice versa, and immunities become super effective hits.
Here's a chart showing the new type matchups:
On PS!, to find out a Pokemon's / type's weaknesses and resistances, you can also use the command /weak [Pokemon / type], Inverse.
There are a couple of caveats to note:
Inverse uses OM clauses.
Bans
Pokemon: Arceus, Calyrex-Ice, Calyrex-Shadow, Chien-Pao, Deoxys-Attack, Deoxys-Base, Eternatus, Giratina-Origin, Groudon, Ho-Oh, Koraidon, Kyogre, Kyurem, Lunala, Mewtwo, Miraidon, Necrozma-DW, Palkia, Palkia-Origin, Rayquaza, Regidrago, Regieleki, Reshiram, Shaymin-Sky, Zacian, Zacian-Crowned, Zekrom
Abilities: Arena Trap, Moody, Shadow Tag
Items: King's Rock
Moves: Baton Pass
Clauses: Standard OMs, Sleep Moves Clause, Inverse Mod, Terastal Clause
Watchlist:
Dialga
Giratina
Lugia
Necrozma-DM
Urshifu-S
Darkrai
Where can I play it?
Inverse is currently challengeable with the code below.
Strategy
As you might expect, type dynamics are completely flipped in Inverse. Ice is a fantastic defensive typing, with 4 resistances and only a single weakness to itself. On the other hand, Steel is an awful typing, with a whopping 9 weaknesses. With no resistances or immunities, Normal is a great offensive typing, and Rapid Spin can't be blocked.
Many format mainstays from previous generations, like Snorlax and Arctozolt, have been cut from Scarlet & Violet, which will no doubt shake up the metagame. On the other hand, old threats such as Avalugg and Barraskewda are still around, and are joined by powerful new Pokemon like Maushold and Chi-Yu.

There are a couple of caveats to note:
- This affects Stealth Rock. For instance, in Inverse Battles Mandibuzz would take 1/16 damage from Stealth Rock, and Excadrill would take 1/2.
- Ability-based immunities are unaffected: Levitate, Volt Absorb, and similar abilities all work as normal.
- Type-based immunities to status and other type-specific mechanics are unaffected as well. For instance, Electric-types still can't be paralysed, Ghost-types can't be trapped, and Flying-types are still immune to Spikes.
