Numel Weakness

Type-wise, Numel takes extra damage from Water and Ground. Watch out for Water attacks, those deal 4x damage. Electric moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. 5 resistances help offset the weaknesses.

Legends: Z-A Numel Best Moveset

Numel hasn't fully evolved, but Eviolite's 50% bulk boost makes it viable anyway. Modest nature with spread EVs shapes the defensive spread, and Simple adds utility.
