Oricorio Weakness
Electric, Ice, Rock, Ghost, and Dark moves hit Oricorio for super-effective damage. The upside? Normal, Fighting, and Ground-type moves can't touch it at all. Oricorio leans toward special offense (base 98 Sp.Atk) instead of trying to wall anything.

| 0.5x (Resist) | Grass, Poison |
