Are Pokemon in Pokemon Go the same as in the main games?

I only ever played Go on my phone. Do the moves, types and evolutions work the same way as the Switch games or would I have to relearn everything?

Same pokemon, same type chart, but the battle side is different enough that you'd be relearning it. In Go every pokemon has one fast move and one or two charged moves, there are no abilities, held items or natures, and the type multipliers are different numbers from the main games. Evolutions are done with candy instead of levels. Knowing which types beat which carries over, most of the rest doesn't.
