Oricorio Weakness

Rock, Water, and Electric moves hit Oricorio for super-effective damage. Rock hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Ground-type moves can't touch it at all. 6 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Oricorio leans toward special offense (base 98 Sp.Atk) instead of trying to wall anything.
