==Relations with other types==
  +
*They have no effect against the {{Type|Flying}} type because something that is flying doesn't touch ground, therefore, they don't get affected by earthquakes and Earth shifts.
  +
*They're strong against the {{Type|Electric}} type because in the true x2 existent nonfiction life, the ground is a natural sink of electrons, and electrical appliances don't work when filled with dirt. Besides, earthquakes destroy power lines. Two of which before are the reasons that the {{Type|Ground}} type is immune to the {{Type|Electric}} type.
  +
*They're strong against the {{Type|Fire}} type because dirt, mud, and sand are usually used to put off a fire, that's because the ground suffocates the fire, leaving it without any oxygen.
  +
*They're strong against the {{Type|Poison}} type because if you drop any venom into the ground, this ends by disappearing. Alternatively, it could be because while pollution has devastating effects on organic life, it doesn't really have an effect on the Earth itself.
  +
*They're strong against the {{Type|Rock}} type because a sandstorm can erode rocks, also because an earthquake can break rocks.
  +
*They're strong against the {{Type|Steel}} type because a sandstorm impedes machines like cars, because the oil lubricates their gears and with sand, dirt, or mud, the oil doesn't work. Also, earthquakes destroy metallic structures. Curiously, there are tools made out of steel like shovels, which are used to dig inside the ground.
  +
*They're weak against the {{Type|Grass}} type because plants absorb minerals from it and open through the ground using their roots. Also, buildings made of wood withstands earthquakes.
  +
*They're weak against the {{Type|Ice}} and {{Type|Water}} types in reference of erosion. Also because earth becomes weak when it's wet or frozen.
  +
*The {{Type|Bug}} type resists them because many bugs like worms live inside the ground and many of them eat it. And burying a bug in sand, dirt, or mud will result in the bug digging its way out. Something curious about this is that they're not weak to the {{Type|Bug}} type.
  +
  +
==Trivia==
  +
*The Ground type is tied with the {{Type|Ghost}} type and the {{Type|Ice}} type for the least Gigantamax forms, each having 1.
  +
*The Ground type is tied with the {{Type|Flying}} type for the least type specialists, both having 4.
  +
*{{Type|Ground}} type, {{Type|Electric}} type, and {{Type|Fairy}} type were the last three types to receive {{Type|Fighting}} type (with [[Great Tusk]] for Ground type; with [[Pawmo]], [[Pawmot]], and [[Iron Hands]] for Electric type; with [[Iron Valiant]] for Fairy type) in [[Generation IX]].
  +
*As of [[Generation IX]], the only type that hasn't been paired with the Ground-type is the {{Type|Fairy}}-type.

Type Ground
Type Ground HOME

The Ground type (Japanese: じめんタイプ, Hepburn: Jimen taipu) is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types.

Ground-type Pokémon have powers and abilities related to control of ground and earth. Ground-type Pokémon are afraid of water, like Rock-type Pokémon, unless they are Water type. Many Ground Pokémon are also partially Rock type.

These Pokémon are normally found in caves or rocky terrains, with the exceptions of some dual typed Pokémon. One bad thing about them is that they can't normally come off the ground, such as Diglett and Dugtrio, even though they are pretty good combatants when they are below the Earth's surface. They have powerful moves such as Earthquake and Fissure.

Famous Ground-type Pokémon Trainers include Giovanni, the last Gym Leader of the Kanto region (also leader of Team Rocket); Bertha, a member of the Sinnoh Elite Four; Clay, the fifth Gym Leader in Unova; Hapu, an island Kahuna in Alola; and Rika, a member of the Paldea Elite Four.

Relations with other types

  • They have no effect against the Flying type because something that is flying doesn't touch ground, therefore, they don't get affected by earthquakes and Earth shifts.
  • They're strong against the Electric type because in the true x2 existent nonfiction life, the ground is a natural sink of electrons, and electrical appliances don't work when filled with dirt. Besides, earthquakes destroy power lines. Two of which before are the reasons that the Ground type is immune to the Electric type.
  • They're strong against the Fire type because dirt, mud, and sand are usually used to put off a fire, that's because the ground suffocates the fire, leaving it without any oxygen.
  • They're strong against the Poison type because if you drop any venom into the ground, this ends by disappearing. Alternatively, it could be because while pollution has devastating effects on organic life, it doesn't really have an effect on the Earth itself.
  • They're strong against the Rock type because a sandstorm can erode rocks, also because an earthquake can break rocks.
  • They're strong against the Steel type because a sandstorm impedes machines like cars, because the oil lubricates their gears and with sand, dirt, or mud, the oil doesn't work. Also, earthquakes destroy metallic structures. Curiously, there are tools made out of steel like shovels, which are used to dig inside the ground.
  • They're weak against the Grass type because plants absorb minerals from it and open through the ground using their roots. Also, buildings made of wood withstands earthquakes.
  • They're weak against the Ice and Water types in reference of erosion. Also because earth becomes weak when it's wet or frozen.
  • The Bug type resists them because many bugs like worms live inside the ground and many of them eat it. And burying a bug in sand, dirt, or mud will result in the bug digging its way out. Something curious about this is that they're not weak to the Bug type.
