If a Pokémon is grounded, it can be affected by Ground-type attacks.

In addition to Ground-type attacks, a grounded Pokémon is affected by:

• the Ground-type move Spikes
• the Poison-type move Toxic Spikes
• the Fairy-type move Misty Terrain
• the Grass-type move Grassy Terrain
• the Electric-type move Electric Terrain
• the Ability Arena Trap
• the damaging turn of the Flying-type move Sky Drop

Being ungrounded gives the Pokémon an immunity to these

Every Pokémon is considered grounded unless it:

• is a Flying-type Pokémon.
• has the Ability Levitate.
• is holding an Air Balloon.
• is under the effect of the move Magnet Rise.
• is under the effect of the move Telekinesis.

An ungrounded Pokémon can become grounded if it:

• is holding the item Iron Ball.
• is under the effect of the move Gravity.
• is under the effect of the move Ingrain.
• has the Flying type and used the move Roost this turn.
• was hit by the move Smack Down and has not switched out.
