The Ground type (Japanese: じめんタイプ Ground type) is one of the eighteen types. Notable Trainers who specialize in Ground-type Pokémon are Giovanni of Viridian City, Bertha of the Sinnoh Elite Four, and Clay of Driftveil City. Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Ground-type moves were physical, but they may now also be special depending on the attack.
