Battle notes
- Hydrapple's Grass / Dragon typing is best attacked with Ice (4x), Poison (2x), Flying (2x). Start with those attacking types when choosing moves or counter Pokémon.
- Avoid relying on common Water, Electric, Grass attacks unless they have unusually high power or a secondary purpose, because Hydrapple resists or ignores those matchups.
- This guide uses the modern Gen 6+ type chart only. Abilities, held items, Terastallization, weather, fields, and special move rules can still change real battle outcomes.
