Clodsire weaknesses in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Clodsire is a dual Poison/Ground-type Pokemon which means it’s weak to the following attack types:

• Ground
• Water
• Psychic
• Ice

All of these attack types are equally effective against Clodsire, but it might be best to avoid Water-type attacks as one of Clodsire’s potential abilities is Water Absorb.

This ability makes the user resistant to Water-type attacks. It also recovers some of the user’s health when they’re hit by a Water-type attack, which you’ll definitely want to avoid!

Side note: If you’re battling against a Clodsire that’s terastallized as a Ground-type, its weaknesses will change. Use Water, Grass, and Ice-type attacks in this case.

Clodsire resistances in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Clodsire is resistant to Fighting, Poison, Rock, Bug, and Fairy-type attacks, so it’s best to avoid using those wherever possible as they won’t do much damage at all.

It’s also completely immune to Electric-type attacks. If it has the ability Water Absorb, it will also be immune to Water-type attacks, so watch out for that.
