How to Use the Type Weakness Tool & Competitive Mechanics

As a pure Water-type Pokémon, Dondozo possesses a balanced defensive profile with only two natural weaknesses (Electric and Grass) and four key resistances (Fire, Water, Ice, and Steel).

Competitive Terastallization Strategy

In the Paldea metagame, Terastallization fundamentally reshapes Dondozo's defensive matchups:

  • Tera Grass: The premier choice in competitive VGC. It immediately resists both of Dondozo's original weaknesses (Electric and Grass) while granting absolute immunity to Spore from Amoonguss.
  • Tera Steel: Grants 10 defensive resistances and 1 immunity (Poison), ideal against Dragon and Fairy-type onslaughts.
  • Tera Dragon: Resists Electric and Grass while boosting the damage output of signature move Order Up.
  • Tera Fairy: Eliminates Dragon weaknesses and walls Dark/Fighting threats.
