Pokemon Champions · Type matchups

Ground type

How the Ground type works in Champions ranked battles — what it hits hardest, what it fears, and every Ground Pokemon on the roster.

Open the team builder

As the attacker

Ground moves hit super-effectively:

fire electric poison rock steel

Not very effective against:

grass flying bug

As the defender

Ground Pokemon take more from:

fire electric poison rock steel

Ground Pokemon resist:

grass flying bug

Build with it

In the builder, Ground coverage matters because Fire, Electric, Poison are common defensive staples. Allocate stat points with the 66/32 caps in mind:

  • 32 / 32 / 2 spreads are the ranked baseline
  • cap any single stat at 32
  • the builder flags illegal spreads automatically
