Alcremie Weakness
Poison and Steel moves hit Alcremie for super-effective damage. The upside? Dragon-type moves can't touch it at all. Alcremie's special bulk (base 121 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Poison, Steel |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fighting, Bug, Dark |
