In contrast to {{t|Rock}} types, Steel types can hold up to many attacks because of their typically high {{stat|Defense}}. Due to their high capability of defending, all three of the Steel type's weaknesses ({{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Fire}}) are often used against this type. Fortunately, most Steel types are dual-typed, which defends usually against one or two of these types; however, it is possible for dual-type Steel Pokémon to develop double weaknesses to some of these moves.
