Mantyke Weakness

Type-wise, Mantyke takes extra damage from Electric and Rock. Watch out for Electric attacks, those deal 4x damage. Ground moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. The Water/Flying typing picks up 5 resistances to work with. Water Absorb grants an additional Water immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Mantyke's special bulk (base 120 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
