Defensively, the Ground type is somewhat risky. It is weak to the common types Water, Grass and Ice. It resists Poison, which is 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 fact that as of 5 generations, only one known Pokémon | Defensively, the Ground type is somewhat risky.

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 in total; only the Fighting type is as powerful as this. It is also super-effective against the best defensive type, Steel. Grass- and Bug-types do resist Ground, but many of them lose their Ground resistance due to being part Poison. This, combined with the fact that the highly damaging, very accurate and rather popular (especially among physical attackers) move {{m|Earthquake}} has been available as [[TM26]] in every generation so far, leads to Ground being very potent offensively. | Offensively, the Ground type is one of the three most important attacking types, together with Ice and Fighting.
