Move availability depends on game version and learnset data, so this page recommends move types rather than guaranteed moves.
These attacking types are resisted or blocked by the defender's typing, so they are usually lower-priority choices unless they provide a special battle role.
Dragon / Flying is best countered by Pokémon that can use Ice (4x) attacks while avoiding bad defensive matchups into Dragon / Flying STAB attacks. Because this is a 4x weakness, even moderate attackers can create pressure if they can enter safely.
Ice is the strongest attacking type against Dragon / Flying, dealing 4x damage under the modern Gen 6+ type chart.
Dragon / Flying has 4 super-effective attacking options: Ice, Rock, Dragon, and Fairy. Use the highest multiplier first, then choose a Pokémon that is not exposed to Dragon / Flying STAB attacks.
No. The ranking uses base typing and base stats. Abilities, items, Terastallization, weather, terrain, and special move rules can change the real matchup.
Yes. Terastallization can replace the defensive typing used here, so the recommended counter types may change completely in formats where Tera is active.
Avoid relying on Ground, Grass, Fire, Water, and Fighting attacks unless they have a special role or unusually high power.
