However, all three of the Steel-type's weaknesses; {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fire}}, are very common and popular types. This makes it weak to common moves of those types, including the extremely common {{m|Earthquake}}. Fortunately, most Steel types are dual-types, which defends usually against one of these types; however, it is possible for dual-type Steel Pokémon to develop double weaknesses to some of these moves.

Pokémon purely of the Steel type have the 2nd greatest amount of resistances in the game. {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Magneton}}, and {{p|Magnezone}}, being Steel and {{t|Electric}}, are the most resistant Pokémon in the game, having 12 resistances plus an immunity to Poison. The added Electric type means these Pokémon are also resistant to Electric moves, and have a double resistance to {{t|Flying}} and Steel moves. However, they also have a double weakness to {{type|Ground}} moves (though this can be negated with the use of the Steel type move, Magnet Rise, giving them a second immunity).
