Numel is extremely dull witted—it doesn’t notice being hit. However, it can’t stand hunger for even a second. This Pokémon’s body is a seething cauldron of boiling magma.

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.
