Pokémon Go: Turtonator Weaknesses and Counters Strategy Guide

Turtonator is a dual-type Fire and Dragon-type Pokémon. It learns primarily Fire attacks, and one potential Dragon or Steel type attack. Here’s the full list of possible attacks Turtonator can know:

• Fast Attacks: Ember, Fire Spin, Incinerate
• Charged Attacks: Flamethrower, Overheat, Flash Cannon, Dragon Pulse

When battling against Turtonator, don’t bring any Pokémon that are weak to Fire or Dragon-type attacks, which includes Bug, Steel, Grass, Ice, and Dragon-type Pokémon. If your Pokémon has a weakness to Steel attacks, you should still be fine in the rare even in the rare event the Turtonator actually knows Flash Cannon.

Turtonator Weaknesses

Since Turtonator is Fire and Dragon-type, that means its weaknesses include Ground, Rock, and Dragon-type attacks. Make sure to bring Pokémon that know these types of attacks in order to land super effective hits, dealing significantly more damage. The Pokémon doesn’t necessarily have to match the attack’s type, but matching types do get a slight boost in damage.

In terms of resistances, don’t use Fire, Grass, Bug, Electric, or Steel-type attacks against Turtonator, since they’re not very effective. Turtonator is especially resistant against Fire and Grass attacks, so don’t even try attacking with those!
