Half Ground-type Pokémon Primary Ground-type Pokémon #Īs of Generation IX, there are 31 Ground-type moves, or 3.4% of all moves (excluding those that are Ground-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with Flying as the third rarest type among moves, after Dragon and before Ice and Fairy. In Contests, Ground-type moves are typically Tough moves.Īs of Generation IX, there are 77 Ground-type Pokémon or 7.56% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Ground-type in at least one of their forms, including Galarian Forms), making it the 8th rarest type after Rock and before Fighting. During a sandstorm, Ground attacks used by a Pokémon with Sand Force have their power increased by 30%. Ground attacks cannot hit Pokémon under the effect of Magnet Rise, Telekinesis, Air Balloon, Levitate, or Earth Eater, though all Pokémon except those with Earth Eater lose their immunity to Ground when they are grounded (such as by Ingrain, Gravity, or Thousand Arrows).

It does particularly well when combined with Ice (super effective aginst Flying and Grass) and Rock (super effective against Flying and Bug).

Ground is the only type super effective against Electric, and is super effective against five types in total, tying with Fighting for the most super effective matchups.īecause Ground is so useful offensively and resisted by so few types, Ground often provides good coverage when combined with another type of attack. Ground-type Pokémon are not damaged by sandstorms, and are immune to Electric attacks. Ground-type Pokémon are immune to damage from the sandstorm weather condition. Ground-type Pokémon are immune to Thunder Wave, unless they are holding Ring Target. Ground type moves will affect Flying type Pokémon when they lose their ungrounded status by methods like holding an Iron Ball or being under the effect of moves such as Ingrain ( Generation IV onward), Gravity, Smack Down or Thousand Arrows. Ground-type Pokémon are immune to Thunder Wave.
