Politoed is weak to Grass (×1.6), Electric (×1.6).
Watch its Ground/Water/Ice moves — counters like Regieleki and Sceptile (Mega) take super-effective damage from them.
Rainy weather boosts Electric moves ×1.2 — the best time to battle Politoed.

Rankings are estimated cycle DPS (attack stat × move damage ÷ cycle time, with STAB and type effectiveness). Not a full battle simulation.
