Best types to use against Fire/Dark

To beat a Fire/Dark Pokémon, use Water, Fighting, Ground and Rock moves: they deal 2× damage. Do not waste turns on Psychic (0×), Fire (½×), Grass (½×), Ice (½×) and Ghost (½×).

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

Going the other way, Fire and Dark moves between them hit Grass, Ice, Psychic, Bug, Ghost and Steel super effectively.

5 Pokémon have the Fire/Dark typing: 4 species and 1 alternate form, first appearing in Generation 2 and spanning 3 generations to Generation 9.

The highest base stat total is Mega Houndoom with 600; the average across the group is 506.
