And unlike with Sandstorm, where three types are immune to the inflicted damage, the Ice-type is the only type not to be afflicted by Hail. There is no passive boost from Hail, only passive ways to avoid taking damage. Thus, Hail’s effects are always neutral or strictly negative, unless the Pokémon carries an one of the three abilities and/or the three moves that can take advantage of it. Its only notable properties are dealing passive damage to every type apart from Ice, lowering the power of certain recovery moves, and boosting the accuracy of Blizzard. Whereas Sandstorm boosts the Special Defense of Rock-types, and Rain Dance/Sunny Day affect moves of the Water- and Fire-type, respectively, Hail has no such passive benefits. Hail gets a mention here because it is the weather condition most commonly associated with Ice-types, and in typical Ice-type fashion it is arguably the worst weather condition to base a strategy around. The Fire type is a special type, so all Fire attacks are counted as special attacks. Water, Rock and Ground are super effective on Fire pokmon and Fire, Grass, Bug, Ice and Steel are not very effective on them. Fire is super effective on Bug, Steel, Grass and Ice and is not very effective on Fire, Water, Rock and Dragon. Scizor and Forretress, both very common in teams, are only weak to Fire. Fire is a powerful type that should be on every team. The Normal type is a physical type, so all Normal attacks are counted as physical attacks.įire is a “hot” type. But Normal attacks can be the solution to your problems anyway, as most pokmon can learn Normal attacks and many of them are strong.

No type is weak to them, but Ghost is immune to Normal and Rock and Steel resist it. Normal type attacks, however, are not as good. I’d say Normal type pokmon are good, many of them have good status and they have only one weakness, Fighting, and are competely immune to Ghost, although they resist no other type. Some people say it’s useless, but others say it’s great. Also, maybe you don’t know that when a pokmon uses an attack of its type, like if an elecrtic pokmon uses an electric attack, the damage is multiplied by 1.5. If you’re here, you probably don’t know the type weaknesses and resistances. Well then go into some detail on each type. Alongside each type youll find a list of the types it is strong against and weak to. There have been some new types added in recent years, so keeping track of all of the specific interactions has gotten a little tricky.
