Primal Kyogre Weakness
Type-wise, Primal Kyogre takes extra damage from Electric and Grass. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Primal Kyogre's special bulk (base 160 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense. Its Primordial Sea ability makes damaging Fire moves fail while Primal Kyogre is on the field.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Electric, Grass |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Water, Ice, Steel |
