Frillish Weakness
Frillish is weak to Electric, Grass, Ghost, and Dark. On the flip side, it's immune to Normal and Fighting-type moves entirely. With 6 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Water Absorb grants an additional Water immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Frillish's special bulk (base 85 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
