Ground-type Pokémon:
Characteristics
Defensively, the Ground-type is mediocre. It is weak to Water, Grass and Ice, which are key attacking types. It resists Poison, a rare offensive type, and Rock. It is, however, immune to the Electric-type, posing a great advantage due to the minority of Pokémon resisting Electric-type moves that are not Electric-types themselves, and the lack of a 1/4 resistance to Electric even by Generation IV.
Offensively, the Ground-type is one of the three most important attacking types, together with Ice and Fighting. It is the only type super-effective against Electric, and is super-effective against five types; only the Fighting-type is as powerful as this. It is also super-effective against the best defensive type, Steel. Grass and Bug-type do resist Ground, but many of them lose their Ground resistance due to being part Poison. The greatest disadvantage of the Ground-type is that it does not affect the very common Flying-type at all, nor Pokémon with 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 Claydol, Flygon, Breloom, Torterra, and Bronzong with Levitate resist both Rock and Ground. Most Ground-type Pokémon are able to learn Rock-type moves, possibly for that very purpose.
In total, there are 48 Pokémon with the Ground-type.
