Quick Answers
What is the best attacking type in Pokémon Legends Z-A?
Ground and Fighting tie for the most super-effective coverage (5 types each). Ground hits Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock and Steel; Fighting hits Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark and Steel. For the Z-A roster, Fairy and Ice are also excellent — Fairy is super effective against the many Dragon types and Dark types.
Which type has the most resistances in Z-A?
Steel resists 10 types and is immune to Poison, making it the best defensive type. The newly added Fairy type is a close second with 3 immunities-resistances relevant in the Lumiose meta.
How do dual-type weaknesses work?
Multiply both types' multipliers together — e.g. a Fire/Flying Pokémon like Talonflame takes 4x from Rock (2x from Fire × 2x from Flying). Check the Pokédex entry on each Pokémon page for its exact weakness chart.
