Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Ground-type Pokémon are generally listed as {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

==Trivia==

* [[Generation I]] introduced the most Ground-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 14, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with two.

* In the anime, Ground-type Pokémon's immunity to {{type|Electric}} attacks is treated inconsistently, sometimes upheld and sometimes ignored. The anime (in particular ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]'') also implies that Ground's immunity to Electric has a limit depending on the voltage, as [[Brock's Onix]], when first fighting Pikachu, was completely unaffected by Pikachu's electricity, but in the rematch, Pikachu's electric attacks, having been boosted at an abandoned hydroelectric plant, were giving Onix a noticeable degree of pain, although it still was not enough to completely incapacitate it, as well as environmental factors (such as water being sprayed on it).

* Each type that resists {{t|Flying}} is weak to Ground, and vice versa.

* Ground is the only type in the [[Generation II]] games and their remakes that a notable Trainer does not [[Type expert|specialize in]].
