Why didn't Crunch hit Metang Super Effectively?

Nov. 7, 2020

In my Emerald play-through, when I had to battle Team Magma to get HM Dive, Steven was my ally. I had Vibrava and Steven had Metang. My Vibrava had used Crunch on Metang by mistake. I was shocked just in a second but no more than that. It was because Crunch didn’t hit Metang Super Effectively. DB had mentioned that it had the weakness of Dark. Why is that so?

gen 5 and before, Steel had a resistance to darkSo it canceled each other out. So it didn’t have a weakness to itSource:too many false swipe gaming videos

Before, Steel had a resistance to DarkSo in Gen 5, Steel resisted Dark. Beldum is also Psychic type though, so they canceled each other out. That’s why you did not hit it super effectively. Because of that, it is neutral.
