It is the only type [[super effective]] against {{t|Electric}}, and is super effective against five types in total, a coverage matched only by {{t|Fighting}}, which is also super effective against the Rock and Steel types. The other types are {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Poison}}, and {{t|Steel}}. Even though {{t|Grass}}- and {{t|Bug}}-type Pokémon resist Ground attacks, many of them lose this resistance due to secondary typings with a weakness to Ground (such as the common Grass/Poison and Bug/Poison types). | ||
Ground-type [[physical move]]s are commonly known and have many potent options, most notably {{m|Earthquake}}, which has high attack power and widespread compatibility due to its [[TM]] status in every generation.

Single-target physical moves such as {{m|Bonemerang}} and {{m|High Horsepower}} can be generally considered inferior options to Earthquake; however, unlike Earthquake, their damage is not reduced by the effect of {{m|Grassy Terrain}}, and they are far less risky to use in Double and Triple Battles.

Ground's greatest disadvantage is its ineffectiveness against common {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and those with {{a|Levitate}} (unless they are [[grounded]]). However, most Ground-type Pokémon can learn Rock-type (mainly those available via TM such as Rock Slide) moves to take down Flying-types, Bug-types (which resists Ground), and also Ice-types (which Ground is weak against). | Ground's greatest disadvantage is its ineffectiveness against common {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and those with {{a|Levitate}} (unless they are [[grounded]]).

{{main|Fighting (TCG)}} | |||
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Ground-type Pokémon are generally listed as {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. | |||
Ground-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Grass}} and {{TCG|Water}} with a resistance to the {{TCG|Lightning}} type. Fighting-type Pokémon are strong against {{TCG|Colorless}}, {{TCG|Darkness}} and {{TCG|Lightning}} Pokémon, whilst some {{TCG|Colorless}} and {{TCG|Psychic}} Pokémon can resist the Fighting type. | |||
