Type Effectiveness
Summary
Ground-type Pokémon are recognized for their strong connection to the earth and are often associated with powerful physical attacks and high defense stats. These Pokémon excel in environments such as deserts, caves, and rocky terrains.
Strengths: Ground-type moves are super effective against Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel types. This makes them especially valuable for taking down opponents that rely on these elemental strengths. Ground Pokémon are often equipped with moves like Earthquake, which can cause massive damage across the board.
Weaknesses: Ground-type Pokémon are particularly vulnerable to Water, Ice, and Grass types. These elemental weaknesses can pose a significant threat, especially considering many Ground types also possess Rock subtypes, exacerbating their vulnerabilities. Additionally, Ground-type moves have no effect on Flying-type Pokémon due to their airborne nature.
Notable Ground-type Pokémon: 1. Garchomp – A Dragon/Ground type that is immensely popular for its speed and offensive capabilities. Garch
