Best types to use against Fire/Steel
To beat a Fire/Steel Pokémon, use Ground moves: it deals 4× damage. Water and Fighting moves also hit for 2×. Do not waste turns on Poison (0×), Grass (¼×), Ice (¼×), Bug (¼×) and Steel (¼×).
Fire/Steel and Steel/Fire are the same typing: in battle the order of a Pokémon's two types makes no difference, so a Steel/Fire search lands on this page too.
Going the other way, Fire and Steel moves between them hit Grass, Ice, Bug, Rock, Steel and Fairy super effectively, but Fire and Water take reduced or no damage from both.
2 Pokémon have the Fire/Steel typing: 1 species and 1 alternate form, first appearing in Generation 4.
