Type Effectiveness
Summary
Ground-type Pokémon are renowned for their profound connection to the earth, commonly associated with potent physical attacks and high defense stats. These Pokémon thrive in environments such as deserts, caves, and rugged terrains.
Strengths: Ground-type moves possess a significant advantage against Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel types. This attribute renders them highly useful for defeating opponents that harness these elemental powers. Ground Pokémon frequently harbor moves such as Earthquake, which can inflict immense damage across the board.
Weaknesses: Ground-type Pokémon exhibit pronounced susceptibility to Water, Ice, and Grass types. These elemental vulnerabilities can pose a considerable threat, especially given that many Ground types also hold Rock subtypes, further amplifying their vulnerabilities. Notably, Ground-type moves are ineffective against Flying-type Pokémon due to their ability to stay airborne.
Notable Ground-type Pokémon:
- Garchomp – A Dragon/Ground type that is immensely beloved due to its agility and offensive capabilities.
