Steel-type Pokémon are not usually used offensively, but they make great defensive physical walls.

Steel-type moves are super effective against Ice, Rock and Fairy-type Pokémon. Reflecting the indestructible nature of metal, the Steel type features the greatest defenses of all types, resisting 10 out of 18 types, in addition to the complete immunity to Poison-type attacks, including both Poison and Bad Poison status ailments, barring those inflicted by a Pokémon with the ability Corrosion. Rock-type attacks are super effective against Fire, Ice, Flying and Bug-type Pokémon. Rock-type Pokémon are mostly slow and heavily rely on their Physical Attack and Defense stats, but with the glaring weaknesses to mostly Special Water-type and Grass-type moves, their power is greatly reduced. Flying-type moves are super effective against Grass, Bug, and Fighting-type Pokémon. Most Flying-type Pokémon are dual-type Pokémon, with the most common ones being dual Normal/Flying-type Pokémon. Flying-typeįlying-type Pokémon are usually Pokémon that fly or resemble birds, so they are immune to Ground-type attacks, but weak to Rock, Ice and Electric-Type Moves. The moves of this type are super effective against Water, Ground, and Rock-type Pokémon, but Grass-type Pokémon are weak to attacks from the following 5 types: Fire, Flying, Bug, Ice and Poison. The Grass type is a type that has its own strength hindered by many weaknesses, reflecting the fragility of nature. As ground insulates electricity, Electric-type moves have no effect on Ground-type Pokémon, and Ground-type attacks are also the only weaknesses of Electric-type Pokémon. Pokémon that belong to this type are immune to paralysis. Electric-typeĮlectric-type moves are super effective against Water and Flying-type Pokémon. Water types also resist Fire-type, Steel-type, Ice-type, and Water-type moves, making it a semi-defensive typing. Water-type Pokémon are super effective against Fire-type, Rock-type and Ground-type Pokémon, but are weak to Electric-type and Grass-type attacks. The Water type is a very balanced type, as well as being the most common out of the 18 types. Fire-type Pokémon is also weak to Rock and Ground-Type Pokémon. Fire-type moves are super effective against Grass, Ice, Bug and Steel-type Pokémon, but do not resist well to water-type Pokémon, as water can put out fire. However, they cannot be burnt by any means. The Fire type is a mostly all-out offensive type, and very powerful, given that most of the Pokémon belonging to this type are very strong offensively. Normal-type and Ghost-type attacks have no effect on each other.

Normal-type moves are not super effective against anything and are resisted by Rock and Steel-type Pokémon. Normal-type Pokémon usually have moves based on standard attacks.

So I wanted to help everyone else and un-cloud that mystery. And unless you’re the ultimate Pokemon Master, knowing which elements are best faced against another will yield the best result can be a mystery. Over the years there have been a lot of Pokemon elements added from the original set with every new generation of Pokemon. These help support the blog, so I can keep creating content.
