Every Cacturne Weakness in Pokemon GO

Cacturne has a dual-typing on Grass and Dark and therefore, has one of the highest number of weaknesses in the game.

Its type combination means that no fewer than seven different types are super effective against it.

These include Bug (x4), Fairy, Fighting, Fire, Flying, Ice and Poison-type moves.

Alongside these though, Cacturne does also resist a further seven types. They are Dark, Electric, Ghost, Grass, Ground, Psychic (X4) and Water.
