Entei, the Legendary Fire-type Pokémon, takes double damage from specific types that exploit its fiery nature. Its core weaknesses are straightforward across games like Pokémon Go and mainline titles.

Core Weaknesses

Entei is a pure Fire-type , making it vulnerable to:

  • Water-type moves (super effective, 2x damage)
  • Ground-type moves (super effective, 2x damage)
  • Rock-type moves (super effective, 2x damage)

These types hit hard because Fire Pokémon like Entei melt under cascading water, crumble against rocky assaults, or sink into the earth—think of it as nature's perfect revenge on a volcano beast.

Top Counters

Pack these Pokémon to exploit Entei's flaws effectively, especially in raids or battles:

Pokémon| Key Strengths| Recommended Moves
---|---|---
Gyarados| Water/Flying, bulky Water attacker| Waterfall, Hydro Pump 1
Tyranitar| Rock/Dark, resists Fire| Smack Down, Stone Edge 1
Swampert| Water/Ground, dual weakness coverage| Mud Shot, Hydro Cannon 1
Garchomp| Ground/Dragon, high damage output| Mud Shot, Earth Power 1
Rhyperior| Ground/Rock, tanks Fire hits| Mud Slap, Rock Wrecker 1

Pro Tip : Lead with Water-types like Kyogre or Swampert for quick damage, then swap to Rock/Ground backups if Entei dodges with Steel moves like Iron Head.

Resistances

Entei shrugs off its own element and more:

  • Resists Bug, Fairy, Fire, Grass, Ice, Steel (0.5x damage).

Avoid these in battle—they'll fizzle out against its volcanic hide.

Battle Context

In Pokémon Go raids (like past events in 2021), team up remotely and dodge Entei's Fire Spin or Flamethrower while hammering weaknesses. Competitive scenes on Smogon note its Sacred Fire STAB but highlight how Water walls check it hard. No major changes in Scarlet/Violet era shift this type chart—it's timeless Fire logic.

TL;DR : Hit Entei with Water, Ground, Rock for max impact; dodge Fire- heavy foes yourself.
