Best types to use against Electric/Steel

To beat a Electric/Steel Pokémon, use Ground moves: it deals 4× damage. Fire and Fighting moves also hit for 2×. Do not waste turns on Poison (0×), Flying (¼×), Steel (¼×), Normal (½×) and Electric (½×).

Electric/Steel and Steel/Electric are the same typing: in battle the order of a Pokémon's two types makes no difference, so a Steel/Electric search lands on this page too.

Going the other way, Electric and Steel moves between them hit Water, Ice, Flying, Rock and Fairy super effectively, but Electric takes reduced or no damage from both.

5 Pokémon have the Electric/Steel typing: 4 species and 1 alternate form, first appearing in Generation 1 and spanning 3 generations to Generation 7.

The highest base stat total is Magnezone with 535; the average across the group is 439.
