The greatest disadvantage of the Ground type is that it does not affect the very common Flying-type Pokémon at all, or Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}. | The greatest disadvantage of the Ground type is that it does not affect the very common Flying-type Pokémon at all, or Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}. | ||
The Ground type combines very well with the Ice-type, as Ice covers Grass and Flying, while Ground covers Rock, Steel, and Fire. Ground and Rock also work very well together; Rock covers Ice and Flying while Ground covers Steel; as of Generation IV, only {{p|Claydol}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Bronzong}} with Levitate, {{p|Breloom}} and {{p|Torterra}} resist both Rock and Ground. Most Ground-type Pokémon are able to learn Rock-type moves, possibly for that very purpose. Ground can pair up nicely with Flying, as it makes the Flying-type immune to Electric attacks, which are one of the Flying-types' weaknesses and at the same time make then immune to Earthquake. Also, as of Generation IV, {{p|Zapdos|only}} {{p|Aerodactyl|seven}} {{p|Skarmory|Poké}} {{p|Solrock|mon}} {{p|Lunatone|out}} {{p|Bronzor|of}} {{p|Bronzong|nearly}} 500 can resist both Ground and Flying. (The last two only if they have Levitate) | The Ground type combines very well with the Ice-type, as Ice covers Grass and Flying, while Ground covers Rock, Steel, and Fire.

When used in contests, Ground-type moves typically become [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves. No Ground-type moves are [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, while they can be the other three types. | When used in contests, Ground-type moves typically become [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.
