Alolan Muk Weakness

Ground moves hit Alolan Muk for super-effective damage. The upside? Psychic-type moves can't touch it at all. The Poison/Dark typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Alolan Muk's special bulk (base 100 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
