Battle notes
- Axew's Dragon typing is best attacked with Ice (2x), Dragon (2x), Fairy (2x). Start with those attacking types when choosing moves or counter Pokémon.
- Avoid relying on common Fire, Water, Electric attacks unless they have unusually high power or a secondary purpose, because Axew resists or ignores those matchups.
