3 legendary entries can use this arena. A dual-type legendary can use either type’s arena and keeps both types for damage matchups.

Ground and run weather

Check attack damage separately from the partner’s weather protection. The table shows modifiers from the checked implementation; a second type also determines protection.

WeatherAttack damage of this typeAdditional effect
Sandstorm×1.3Partners with Rock, Ground or Steel avoid sandstorm weather damage.
Snowfall×1Weather damage and up to 10% slower movement unless the partner has Ice as its other type.

Multipliers shown at full weather intensity; they transition gradually as weather starts and ends. ×1 means no change to this attack type’s damage. Weather protection checks both of the partner’s types.

Ground-type questions

What is Ground super effective against?

Against a single defending type: Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock, Steel. Each advantage deals ×1.6. For a dual-type target, multiply both modifiers up to ×2.4.

Which attacks threaten a Ground partner?

A single-type partner takes ×1.6 from: Water, Grass, Ice. A second type can change the result.

How do Ground moves evolve?

Reach maximum move level, obtain its card and choose the evolution when offered. Mud Shot → Earth Power (Power); Bulldoze → Earthquake (Power); Bonemerang → Bone Rush (Power); Spikes → Fissure (Power); Sand Tomb → High Horsepower (Vigor); Magnitude → Drill Run (Power).

Is base cooldown the final attack interval?

No. Upgrades modify cooldown. Charge time, duration and behavior also depend on the move; the listed base values come from the checked code and do not guarantee a final attack cadence.
