Best types to use against Ground/Steel

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

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

8 Pokémon have the Ground/Steel typing: 3 species and 5 alternate forms, first appearing in Generation 1 and spanning 4 generations to Generation 9.

The highest base stat total is Mega Steelix with 610; the average across the group is 496.
