== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* This happens a lot throughout the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime; as it's a [[Long Runner]] chock full of [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]], this is perhaps unsurprising. It often involves a trainer being creative enough to not simply use a weaker move directly.
** The early episode "School Of Hard Knocks" has Misty defeat a schoolboy's Grass type Weepinbell with her Water type Starmie because hers is several levels higher, meaning the type advantage is irrelevant, much to his shock. That Starmie and Weepinbell are [[Mutual Disadvantage actually both weak to each other]] is just one of the anime's many liberties with the game mechanics.
*** Just to drive the point home, Misty's Starmie is subsequently beaten down by the resident [[Alpha Bitch]]'s dual-type Rock-Ground Graveler.
** Another early episode trainer, AJ, put his Sandshrew through [[Training From Hell]] to make it resist water attacks despite being Ground type.
