The term grounded is used to describe a Pokémon that can be affected by Ground-type attacks and several other associated effects.
Ungrounded Pokémon
Several characteristics may make a Pokémon ungrounded.
A Pokémon is ungrounded if it:
- is Flying-type.
- has the Ability Levitate.
- is holding an Air Balloon.
- is under the effect of Magnet Rise or Telekinesis.
Grounded Pokémon
By default, grounded Pokémon are simply those that are not ungrounded. However, there are also several effects that will negate a Pokémon's ungrounded status, making it grounded.
A Pokémon will be grounded if it:
- is holding an Iron Ball.
- is under the effect of Ingrain, Smack Down, or Gravity.
- is hit by Thousand Arrows
In addition, the move Roost will negate the user's Flying type for one turn, meaning it will become grounded for that turn if its type was the only thing making it ungrounded.
Also, if a grounded Poison-type Pokémon is sent out while Toxic Spikes are on that Pokémon's side of the field, it will remove them; if the Poison-type Pokémon is ungrounded, the Toxic Spikes will remain.
Immunities of ungrounded Pokémon
Ungrounded Pokémon are immune to all damaging Ground-type attacks, except Thousand Arrows.
Ungrounded Pokémon are also immune to:
- the entry hazards Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Sticky Web.
- the terrain-altering moves Misty Terrain, Grassy Terrain, Psychic Terrain, and Electric Terrain.
- the Ability Arena Trap.
