## Best types to use against Ground/Rock

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

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

Going the other way, Ground and Rock moves between them hit Fire, Electric, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug, Rock and Steel super effectively.

9 Pokémon have the Ground/Rock typing, first appearing in Generation 1 and spanning 3 generations to Generation 4.

The highest base stat total is Rhyperior with 535; the average across the group is 405.
