Electric/Rock strategy: Ground 4× pressure with strong Flying control
Electric/Rock and Rock/Electric are the same defensive pairing; this page uses electric-rock as the canonical URL. Electric/Rock pressures Water, Flying, Fire, Ice, and Bug targets while resisting Normal, Fire, Electric, Poison, and Flying. Representative Pokémon include Iron Thorns, Alolan Geodude, Alolan Graveler, Alolan Golem. The standard type chart gives this combination 4× weak to Ground and 2× weak to Water, Grass, Fighting. It has no type immunity under the standard chart. Its main defensive value comes from ¼× resists Flying; ½× resists Normal, Fire, Electric, Poison, but stats, ability, item, and format still decide whether a real Pokémon can use those entries repeatedly.
Offensive plan
Electric STAB threatens Water and Flying targets, while Rock STAB pressures Flying, Fire, Ice, and Bug targets. Ground is the severe 4× weakness, while Water, Grass, and Fighting hit for 2×. The typing needs Ground support before it can repeatedly check Flying lanes.
Counterplay and defensive risks
To counter Electric/Rock, start with the chart pressure: Ground, Water, Grass, Fighting. If a 4× weakness is listed, preserve that attack type before revealing it; if there is no 4× weakness, repeated 2× pressure and hazard chip usually matter more than a single surprise hit. Scout for abilities, Terastallization, weather, recovery, and pivot moves before assuming the visible multiplier ends the exchange.
Team-building advice
Electric/Rock needs Ground answers first, then Water, Grass, and Fighting support. Flying, Grass, Fairy, and bulky Water partners can cover those lanes while Electric/Rock pressures Flying and Water targets. Use the Team Calculator to check whether the rest of the six stacks the same Ground, Water problem, then compare the full defensive chart before choosing moves or teammates.
