Battle notes

Rock / Flying cancels or softens common single-type weaknesses such as Grass, Fighting, Ground, which is why the combined chart matters more than either type alone.
Because dual types multiply both defensive matchups, Water attacks (2x) is the most direct way to punish this combination under the modern Gen 6+ chart.
Avoid defaulting to Ground, Normal, Fire, Poison attacks unless you have a specific reason; this typing resists or blocks those lines of play.
This exact typing exists in the current National Dex, so the matchup is useful for real Pokémon pages and team planning.

Best counter types

These attacking types hit the defender for super-effective damage under the modern Gen 6+ type chart.
