Type Effectiveness
Summary
Steel-type Pokémon are renowned for their impressive defensive capabilities and durability in battles. Known for their outstanding resistance to many types of attacks, Steel Pokémon often serve as stalwart protectors and formidable opponents.
Strengths and Resistance
Steel-type Pokémon are strong against Fairy, Ice, and Rock types. This means that their attacks are particularly effective against these types, often dealing double damage. Additionally, Steel-types boast a remarkable resistance to a total of 10 different types: Normal, Grass, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Dragon, Steel, and Fairy. This extensive range of resistances makes them difficult to bring down in many situations.
Weaknesses
Despite their robust defenses, Steel-type Pokémon do have some vulnerabilities. They are weak to Fire, Fighting, and Ground-type attacks. These weaknesses can be exploited by opponents to deal substantial damage to Steel-type Pokémon.
