* Dr. Wily from ''[[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Mega Man]]'' has a nasty habit of collecting or building weaknesses into his Robot Masters. In some cases it can't be helped whenever he uses other people's Robot Masters, such as in ''VideoGame/MegaMan10'' where 2 of the Robot Masters involved happened to be water-based and fire-based (Pump Man and Solar Man) or in some cases, the weaknesses are not that glaring, but the most egregious case is ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'', where not only does he create a water-based and fire-based Robot Master (Bubble Man and Heat Man), but a wood-based Robot Master (Wood Man) to crumple to said fire-based Robot Master, as well as creating a Robot Master who can stop time (Flash Man)... ...alongside a FragileSpeedster Robot Master (Quick Man) whose main strength is conveniently nullified by stopping time.

*** Diglett can be found in the cave right next to Lt. Surge's town in [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue the Kanto games]], and Ground is super-effective against Electric (as well as ''immune'' to Electric moves).

*** In the same game, you have Whitney, who is infamously a bit of a WakeUpCallBoss... unless you do a trade in town, swapping one of the fairly common Drowzee or Abra for a Machop named Muscle. Said Machop is basically designed to completely manhandle Whitney's Miltank; it resists Miltank's main attack in Rollout, it's Fighting-type so it gets super-effective damage, it starts with Low Kick, which does more damage if the enemy is heavy (like Miltank)[[note]]in the remakes; in the original, it had an okay 50 base power but was still super effective[[/note]], and on top of all that, it's female, meaning Attract won't work.
