Ground moves also hit for 2×. Do not waste turns on Poison (0×), Ice (¼×), Normal (½×), Grass (½×) and Flying (½×). Ice/Steel and Steel/Ice are the same typing: in battle the order of a Pokémon's two types makes no difference, so a Steel/Ice search lands on this page too. Going the other way, Ice and Steel moves between them hit Grass, Ice, Ground, Flying, Rock, Dragon and Fairy super effectively, but Fire, Water and Steel take reduced or no damage from both. 2 Pokémon have the Ice/Steel typing, all of them alternate forms, first appearing in Generation 1. The highest base stat total is Alolan Sandslash with 450; the average across the group is 375. ## 2 Ice/Steel Pokémon - [Alolan Sandshrew](https://pokee.si/pokemon/sandshrew?form=sandshrew-alola) (form) - [Alolan Sandslash](https://pokee.si/pokemon/sandslash?form=sandslash-alola) (form) ## Quick answers ### What is Ice/Steel weak to?
