===Long-Range Stands===
{{SType|Color=#92bf93a6|Border=#c8f9bb
|Title={{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Long-Distance Operation Type'''|遠隔操作型|Enkaku Sōsa-gata}}
|Desc=Also known as a Remote Control Stand,<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 142}} pg. 9''</ref> these Stands are defined by a greater-than average range. Some Long-Distance Stands are able to go kilometers away from their users, thus they are typically ranked A or B in Range. Moreover, the user is able to command their movement with good precision. On the other hand, the remaining link between user and Stand means injuring the Stand will damage the user as well and most of these Stands aren't a physical match for other types of Stands.

===Automatic Stands===
{{SType|Color=#6FABEF|Border=#268BD2
|Title={{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Automatic Type'''|自動型|Jidō-gata}}
|Desc=Automatic Stands are all Stands who do not follow their Users' command, but rather, act automatically through preset instructions. Most Automatic Stands are, in a way, separated from their Users, and thus harming the Stand will leave the user unscathed and sometimes unaware of their Stand's status. However, there are several sub-types of automatic Stands.
 
{{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Far-Distance Autopilot Type'''|遠隔自動操縦型|Enkaku Jidō Sōjū-gata|}} Stands can travel long distances from their Users without losing power. In addition to their respective abilities, they will have noteworthy physical abilities, such as great resilience. However, most Far-Distance Autopilot Stands follow simple instructions centered around a single datum, like temperature and cannot adapt to the situation nor make precise moves.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 142}} pg. 8</ref>
 
{{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Posthumous Stands'''<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 557}}</ref>|死んでるスタンド|Shinderu Sutando}} are capable of existing long after their User's death, enabling them to act on their own free will. Due to their nature, Posthumous Stands are automatic-based and as such, range or damage to their user is irrelevant.
 
Other Stands may simply demonstrate automatic abilities, the user needing minimal input. A Stand's ability may be linked to a condition unrelated to the User's will, making it semi-automatic. They could be sentient and act on their own without following their User's orders. In this case, the user may be unable to control it and possibly become a victim of their own Stand's power.

===Range Irrelevant Stands===
{{SType|Color=#f9f07b8f|Border=#E3B52C
|Title={{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Range Irrelevant'''|射程距離無関係|Shatei Kyori Mukankei}}
|Desc=There are a few Stands where the range has very little to do with how they function. This is applicable to those who lack standalone forms and are typically assimilated into their User's bodies; these Stands are referred to as '''Integrated Types''' ( 一体化型 ''Ittaika-gata '').

===Psychological Assault Stands===
{{SType|Color=#4457bd8f|Border=#161E4B
|Title={{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Psychological Assault Type'''|精神攻撃型|Seishin Kogeki-gata}}
|Desc=This category encompasses Stands whose abilities specialize in attacking either psychologically or spiritually, meaning their primary focus is assaulting the mind of the User's enemies, be it in their thoughts or dreams. The nature of these Stand abilities can be described as the exact opposite of Close-Range power types as they do not require physically attacking to be effective.<ref name="JJ6251"/>

===Foresight Stands===
{{SType|Color=#b62fa18f|Border=#3e0d36
|Title={{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Foresight Type'''|未来予知型|Mirai Yochi-gata}}
|Desc=These Stands have the ability to foresee the future and as such are particularly useful for avoiding incoming danger or directing their user to the best course of action. Stands of this nature tend to be very powerful when utilized with other Stands,<ref name="JJ6251"/> however due to the nature of [[Fate]] in the JoJo series, a certain amount of strategic planning is required for the user to maximize its benefits. [[JoJo 6251]] lists [[Tohth]] as an example.

===Reconnaissance Stands===
{{SType|Color=#228d988f|Border=#105f678f
|Title={{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Reconnaissance Type'''|索敵・探査型|Sakuteki tansa-gata}}
|Desc=More literally referred to as "Search and Investigate" types, these Stands have abilities that allow the user to gather information on their surroundings.<ref name="JJ6251"/> They can be used as scouts or to directly seek out a specific target. They are generally not as powerful as other Stands and have limited utility in the thick of battle. [[JoJo 6251]] cites [[Hermit Purple]] and [[Hierophant Green]] as examples.

[[File:GoGo-Appearance-Graph.png|170px|thumb|Classification Graph]]
Stands can also be grouped into five classifications based on their physical appearance. The first four are categorized using the following descriptors: {{Nihongo|'''Natural'''|生命・自然事物型|Seimei Shizenji Butsu-gata|lit. Living/Natural Things}}, {{Nihongo|'''Artificial'''|人工・機械型|Jinkō Kikai-gata|lit. Artificial/Mechanism}}, {{Nihongo|'''Humanoid'''|人型|Hito-gata}} and {{Nihongo|'''Non-Humanoid'''|非・人型|Hihito-gata}}. They can be illustrated through a {{W|Cartesian coordinate system|coordinate plane}} with the above descriptors representing the x and y axis. A fifth category, referred to as {{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Phenomenon'''|現象型|Genshō-gata}}, exists to encompass all Stands that do not fit into any of the previous classifications.<ref>[[JOJO A-GO!GO!]]: STANDS, p.104</ref>
 
===Natural Humanoid Stands===
{{SType|Color=#E4BCDB8F|Border=#936388
|Title={{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Natural Humanoid Stands'''|人/生命・自然事物型}}
|Desc=These Stands possess a humanoid form with physical characteristics that take on an organic appearance. Their human-like facial features allow them to express emotions. This category encompasses {{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Human Type'''|人間型|Ningen-gata}} Stands who closely resemble people. Those with a monstrous appearance may also fall into this category if their morphology resembles that of a human.
 
Natural Humanoid Stands are usually able to perform tasks requiring a degree of dexterity, like grabbing something, and if powerful enough, can wrestle and fight using their fists and feet. These Stands would appear more frequently in early parts.
Line 122:
===Artificial Humanoid Stands===
{{SType|Color=#BAB2B591|Border=#4d4648
|Title={{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Artificial Humanoid Stands'''|人/人工・機械型}}
|Desc=While also having humanoid-like bodies, Stands in this category will often feature artificial or mechanical nuances that separate them from natural humanoids. Appearances that resemble robots, cyborgs or androids are applicable here. Common characteristics of Artifical Humanoid Stands include a lack of either mouth or eyes, pipes sprouting from their bodies, or having mechanical joints.
 
Line 133:
===Natural Non-Humanoid Stands===
{{SType|Color=#88BDBC8C|Border=#334f4e
|Title={{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Natural Non-Humanoid Stands'''|非・人/生命・自然事物型}}
|Desc=This category features Stands that are reminiscent of other life forms or objects in nature. This includes basic organisms such as animals and plants, but also more unorthodox concepts. Monstrous-looking Stands that stray from human morphology would also fall under this category.
 
Line 144:
===Artificial Non-Humanoid Stands===
{{SType|Color=#B1A296|Border=#6e5e51
|Title={{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Artificial Non-Humanoid Stands'''|非・人/人工・機械型}}
|Desc=This category encompasses Stands that have a mechanical or tool-like appearance. This includes vehicles, weapons or machines that resemble non-humanoid creatures. Stands that act as weapons typically require the user to personally wield them.
 
Line 155:
===Phenomenon Stands===
{{SType|Color=#474B4F|Border=#1c2126
|Title={{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Phenomenon''' or '''Other''' Stands|現象型 / その他|Genshō-gata / Sonohoka}}
|Desc={{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Phenomenon'''|現象型|Genshō-gata}}<ref>[[JOJOVELLER]] - STANDS</ref> or {{Nihongo4Nihongo|'''Other'''|その他|Sonohoka}} type encompasses all Stands that do not fall under the previous four.
 
Stands within this category will typically lack a definitive form, either manifesting as a supernatural phenomenon, or simply giving the user superhuman abilities. '''Materialized'''-type Stands will often fall under this category if they lack their own distinct apparitions.
