Best types to use against Water/Ground
To beat a Water/Ground Pokémon, use Grass moves: it deals 4× damage. Do not waste turns on Electric (0×), Fire (½×), Poison (½×), Rock (½×) and Steel (½×).
Water/Ground and Ground/Water are the same typing: in battle the order of a Pokémon's two types makes no difference, so a Ground/Water search lands on this page too.
Going the other way, Water and Ground moves between them hit Fire, Electric, Poison, Ground, Rock and Steel super effectively, but Grass takes reduced or no damage from both.
10 Pokémon have the Water/Ground typing: 9 species and 1 alternate form, first appearing in Generation 2 and spanning 4 generations to Generation 5.
The highest base stat total is Mega Swampert with 635; the average across the group is 434.
