===Offense===
Offensively, Ground is one of the most powerful types. It is the only type {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against {{t|Electric}}, and is super effective against five types in total, a coverage matched only by {{t|Fighting}}. 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 mostly to 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. Ground-type [[special move]]s pale in comparison, considering the relatively low {{stat|Special Attack}} stats of the majority of Ground-type Pokémon.
