Can Pokemon be trained to resist type weaknesses?

One of my friends has a Charizard that takes minor damage from water type Pokemon and has no IV or EV training. Is it possible to train a Pokemon to resist its weakness? I’m trying it because he advised me to do it - My Level 51 Beartic takes 35% damage from 38-40 wild Heatmors that uses Flame Burst.

No, there isn’t a direct way to remove a Pokemon’s weaknesses, your friend is lying. It was probably a coincidence that Charizard took such little damage from Water attacks (or perhaps sunlight was in play, which would weaken Water moves).

However, there are ways to remove weaknesses, but you’ll be forfeiting ability and item slots, so sometimes they wouldn’t be recommended. Some include:

But there isn’t a way to train your Pokemon to resist an attack, sorry.

Sadly, you cannot teach a Pokemon to resist its type weakness.

Your friend might have been mistaken or it’s just that his Charizard is facing weak water type Pokemon that won’t do much damage using Super Effective attacks because they have a weak sp.atk or atk. Or he got some EV training accidentaly when facing wild Pokemon that gave Sp.def or Def?The possibilities areendless!But sadly we poor souls cannot teach resisting types to our Pokemon.
