Scovillain is a dual Grass/Fire-type Pokemon which means it’s weak to the following attack types:

• Flying
• Poison
• Rock

Scovillain has very low bulk (65 HP, 65 Defense, and 65 Special Defense) which means just one super-effective attack should be enough to defeat it.

If you don’t have any of the types listed above, Scovillain also takes neutral damage from Bug, Dark, Dragon, Fighting, Fire, Ghost, Ground, Ice, Normal, Psychic, and Water-type attacks.

Remember if you’re battling a Scovillain that has terastallized, its weaknesses and resistances might be different.
