Understanding damage taken from different types is crucial for battles. Plan your team accordingly!
Tip: Build your team with Pokémon that cover each other's weaknesses!
Damage multipliers from all 18 attacking types
Anorith's Rock / Bug typing gives it 3 weaknesses but strong offensive coverage against flying, bug, fire, ice, grass, psychic, dark types
Anorith totals 355 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Attack (95) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Special Attack (40).
Defensively, the Rock, Bug combination gives Anorith 2 resistances and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 7 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Anorith a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow Then Very Fast experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
