Pokedex Entries

Wooper usually lives in water. However, it occasionally comes out onto land in search of food. On land, it coats its body with a gooey, toxic film.

Wooper Weakness

Type-wise, Wooper takes extra damage from Grass. Watch out for Grass attacks, those deal 4x damage. Electric moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. The Water/Ground typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Water Absorb grants an additional Water immunity, reshaping the matchup chart.
