Gym Leaders

I will burn u with OverHeat then lol

Only Ferroseed/Ferrothorn. And the grass type with poison typing are neutral to poison.

Ground is weak to grass water and ice. Seriously guys, know your typing.

By honor as a grass-type user my pokemon fear only one fire-type move.......V-create.

Lol thats why i ask as i don't really remember what is the other weakness for ground type.

Hmm but if the grass has poison don't that make them being afraid of ground as poison is weak to ground.

I know thats why I have one, though I can't get a Lotad...

Ground x Grass 1/2, Ground x Poison 2.

So Ground x Grass/Poison is 2(1/2) = 1. Neutral.

Ooo so it become neutral. Hmm if thats so isn't having some other type attack would be better? Like fire/flying/ice type would be a good back up?

It's called coverage, and is very common for competitive battling sir.

Though you need to make sure the coverage move is really worth it.

For example, Excadrill hitting Tyranitar. It can choose Earthquake (x2) or Brick Break (x4). It would seem like Brick Break is the superior option, but that isn't the case. Earthquake is.

not weak, they take normal damage(x1)

Hmm so in this case lets said Nidoking vs Ferrothorn which is grass and steel.Lets said i have a fighting type attack and fire type attack which one should i choose here?

No, Flamethrower is better......*shrivers*

Lol sorry wrong info. Earthquake become neutral because ur grass type half the effect lol.

Obviously Flamethower here. Nido doesnt get STAB on either of them and Flamethrower does x4. Not to mention it has superior SpA than Atk.

All in all, you need to factor in the stats, the move type and how effective it is, STAB and also ability/items.

Hmm man being a monotype gym leader sure has lots of difficulties lol.

Man i myself don't know what moves i should put for Dugtrio lol seeing that it's moves is quite limited.

Oh yeah also doesn't this mean Ground is mostly screwed if we fight the flying types? as Earthquake will not be able to hit which cause us to loss our STAB advantage?

Yes but almost all ground pokemon learns rock moves to hit flyers with.

And yes monotype sucks. It's too easy, which is why the game chooses it. To let kiddies beat the game without too much thinking.

As for Dugtrio, make use of its ability; Arena Trap. By that I mean pack moves that help take out things that it traps, as it'll be better considering Dugtrio has average attack, quite high speed and laughable bulk.

Ohh yeah after u mention, i noticed that almost all ground can learn rock type attack. Even some of them can learn water or even Ice....... Why does it seems Ground type is much more verstaile compared to other type lol.

Not even. Psychic is most versatile.

Ghost too.
