Pecharunt Weakness

Ground, Psychic, Ghost, and Dark moves hit Pecharunt for super-effective damage. The upside? Normal and Fighting-type moves can't touch it at all. The Poison/Ghost typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Pecharunt's physical bulk (base 160 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
