Poison weakness
Here are the weaknesses of Poison-type Pokémon:
- Ground: Ground-type moves are super effective (2x damage) against Poison-type Pokémon.
- Psychic: Psychic-type moves are super effective (2x damage) against Poison-type Pokémon.
These are the primary weaknesses of Poison-type Pokémon, meaning they will take double damage from these types of attacks.
Additionally, it’s worth noting some other defensive characteristics of Poison-type Pokémon:
- Poison-type Pokémon take normal damage (1x) from most other types not mentioned above or in their resistances.
- Poison-type Pokémon have resistances (take 0.5x damage) against Grass, Fighting, Poison, Bug, and Fairy-type moves.
- Poison-type Pokémon don’t have any immunities (0x damage) against any type.
Understanding these weaknesses is crucial for both using Poison-type Pokémon effectively and for battling against them. When facing a Poison-type Pokémon, using Ground or Psychic-type moves would be most effective, while avoiding Grass, Fighting, Poison, Bug, or Fairy-type moves unless necessary.
