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.
Normal / Grass is best countered by Pokémon that can use Fire, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Flying, and Bug (2x) attacks while avoiding bad defensive matchups into Normal / Grass STAB attacks. Because there is no 4x weakness, Speed, bulk, and offensive stats matter more when choosing the actual Pokémon.
Fire, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Flying, and Bug are the strongest attacking types against Normal / Grass, dealing 2x damage under the modern Gen 6+ type chart.
Normal / Grass has 6 super-effective attacking options: Fire, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Flying, and Bug. Use the highest multiplier first, then choose a Pokémon that is not exposed to Normal / Grass 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 Ghost, Water, Electric, Grass, and Ground attacks unless they have a special role or unusually high power.
