Oricorio Weakness
Rock, Water, and Electric moves hit Oricorio for super-effective damage. Rock hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Ground-type moves can't touch it at all. 6 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Oricorio leans toward special offense (base 98 Sp.Atk) instead of trying to wall anything.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Rock |
| 2x (Weak) | Water, Electric |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Fighting, Steel, Fairy |
| 0.25x (Resist) | Grass, Bug |
| 0x (Immune) | Ground |
