Whiscash is a unique Water/Ground-type Pokemon.

Whiscash weaknesses in Pokemon

Whiscash is a Water/Ground-type Pokemon, which means it’s weak against the following attack types:

  • Grass

With only one weakness, Whiscash can be quite difficult to take down under normal circumstances, but if you use Pokemon and moves that have Grass typing, you should be able to defeat it quite easily.

It should also be pointed out that Whiscash actually has a double weakness (4x damage) to Grass, which makes it incredibly vulnerable to a team of strong Grass-type Pokemon.

Whiscash resistances in Pokemon

As a Water/Ground-type Pokemon, Whiscash is resistant to the following attack types:

  • Electric
  • Fire
  • Poison
  • Rock
  • Steel

You should avoid using Pokemon with attacks of these typings when battling Whiscash, as they won’t do much damage at all.

Whiscash is also immune to Electric-type attacks in mainline games like Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, so don’t even try to use those.
