It's simple: Resistance equals damage reduction. If your Pokemon has Resistance to a type, it's gonna shrug off some of that damage like it's nothing.
Resistance? It basically means your Pokemon laughs in the face of specific types of attacks and says 'Is that all you got?' Less damage from those types, making your Pokemon tougher!
