Title: Favourite types and combinations
Post by: ajeeth23 on March 03, 2013, 06:00
What is your favourite type? And also your favourite type combinations? I love Dark, Electric and Dragon types. Best combinations would be Dark/Electric or Dragon/Electric.
Wish we get a Dark/Electric Pokémon in Gen VI.

I thought Shinx's final evo would have been Dark/Elec. but it wasn't to be... :(

Ground/Elec. would be pretty cool :P

Me too! Luxray looked so...evil? :P

And we already have a Ground/Electric. Stunfisk!

Yeah I guess, but I don't really like Stunfisk. And I apologise to any Stunfisk fans but in my opinion its just... ugly. It would be nice if they made some nicer looking ones  ;D But apart from that, I think the Steel/Grass combination is really cool, apart from the 4x weakness to Fire types, but everything has a downside :L

Well, yeah, Stunfisk is too...meh.

I like the Grass/Steel combo too. Ferrothorn was a cool Pokémon.

We have two Water/Fighting Pokemon, and that's two too few. Surprised we don't have an Electric/Fighting by now, too. Empoleon's alright, but what I'm really waiting for is a Water/Steel based off liquid metal. I know we have three already, but I've recently developed a taste for Ground/Flying and wouldn't mind having another, nasty Ice weakness aside. I want a Water/Bug that isn't Surskit (even though I like it and Masquerain both) and a Bug/Dragon (preferably not a legendary) as well.

As for what my favorite types are, well, Water and Fighting are the big ones. Anything else after that usually shuffles around.

That's a nice thought, we could have shock-based signature move for that Electric/Fighting Pokemon.
I dunno about Water/Fighting, I never liked either of them.
Bug/Dragon is cool too. I'd love to see a parallel Grass/Dragon Pokemon, like Pinsir-Heracross.

As far as offensive prowess goes, Fire/Fighting is fantastic typing, as seen by Blaziken's rise to Ubers with the right tools. It's just walled by so little, and with Blaziken's power, even resists take huge damage from Hi Jump Kick after a Swords Dance.

I like the idea of Fire/Grass. It'd be great offensively and defensively. Fire Blast, Flare Blitz, Leaf Storm and Wood Hammer are all great offensive tools, while Leech Seed is a fantastic defensive move, and it could be a good SubSeeder with the right stat layout.

Psychic/Dark would be neat typing. Only weak to Bug, though it's quad weak to it. I'd just like to see it happen to see what it'd bring to the table.

I agree. I was sorely disappointed when Game Freak spammed the starters with that typing and gave us bad Pokémon too.

But I don't know how much that sense would make in a Pokémon.

It's rumoured that Yveltal could be Dark/Psychic. That would be great.

Fire/Grass would be an amazing pokemon, especially if it got Rock Head, base attack over 115 and base speed over 105. Flare Blitz/Wood Hammer/Stone Edge/Swords Dance would be an amazing set.

Fire/Grass with chlorophyll could be useful, depending on the weather situation in the coming metagame. Finally a chlorophyll Pokémon with STAB + Sun boost fire? Yes please.

As for my favourite types, water and ground. Quagsire4life.

I'd like to see a steel/ice Pokemon <3 Two of my favourite types, and it'd be interesting to see what kind of Pokemon you'd get from that typing!
... Or maybe it'd just be Slowbro's tail-monster-creature-thing with icicles on it...

I'll just throw Blaziken against it. xD
4x weakness to Fire and Fighting too. Not very useful.

As much as I love the Blaziken shout-out, don't rule a type out just because it has weaknesses. Ice/Steel could be very useful as something to bring in on Dragons as they Outrage/Draco Meteor, especially if it's very bulky. Even though almost every Dragon carries a Fire attack, and it'd be HP Fire Magnet Pull Magnezone bait... yeah, it would probably end up in UU unless it had some very specifically wonderful stats, ability and movepool. Even so, I like the idea of the type.

Totally forgot about Steel resisting Dragon. Yeah, that could prove quite useful.

Or Head Smash instead of Stone Edge. It would wreck everything.

I actually made up a pokemon that I wish they'd finally just create. It's based off of a jack-o-lantern/scarecrow. It's fire/grass, with chlorophyll or flash fire. It would be so awesome with a bit of Special Attack and Speed.

Anyways, I really thought Lucario would be Dark/Fighting when he came out, which would be kind of cool since fighting has only two weaknesses and Dark completely neutralizes one of them. Also, it's a STAB combo that's unresisted.

I'd also like to see a Fighting/Flying pokemon.. I've wanted this ever since Staraptor came with Close Combat, which is a total blessing.

I honestly think that every possible type combo should exist, just for diversity's sake.

A scarecrow with a jack-o-lantern head? Woah, bro, that's genius.

Dark and Fighting is resisted by Heracross and Toxicroak. The unresisted combo you're likely confusing it with is Fighting and Ghost, which is indeed unresisted.

Oh yes, that's right.. I also forgot about Scrafty, who is Dark/Fighting, and a badass. Ghost fighting would be really cool too.. Like a fighting spirit of some sort..

I also made up a Ghost/Normal Pokemon, which I think is really cool typing, since it is immune to both of its own STABs and Fighting attacks, so pokes that use the now unresisted Ghost&Fighting combo as their only two attacking moves couldn't even touch it. It's based off of a possum.. Because they're like zombie rats IMO.

If only I could get a design job at GameFreak.. Sigh..

I've always like psychics and poisons, despite them being awful types battle-wise. If there was a psychic/poison combo I'd definitely give it a go.

Post by: Goshdarned Sillyface on May 11, 2013, 00:27
a ghost/steel type would be really cool. maybe it could have levitate to fight off that ground weakness, and only worry about a fire weakness which could easily be taken care of.
Title: Re: Favourite types and combinations
Post by: Mr. Apple on May 11, 2013, 12:22
not my favorite,  but LEAST favorite would be fire/fight.
Title: Re: Favourite types and combinations
Post by: Hoof Hearted on June 25, 2013, 23:04
I think another water/steel would be cool, and maybe its design can be based off of a hammerhead shark. A ghost/steel would be another cool type and I agree with the person a few posts before who mentioned a steel/ice. A bug/ground would be cool and it would lose the weakness to stealth rocks, making it possibly good for competitive play. A flying/fighting pokemon would be awesome!(I got the idea from one of the smogon custom sprites). I also wouldn't mind, maybe for the gen 6 starter trio, There could be a grass/fighting, a water/psychic, and a fire/dark so that the grass can still be used against the fire, the fire can be used against the water, and the water can be used against the grass(please no fourth fire/fighting type though, I had enough at infernape, cooked bacon wasn't any better). One more idea, a steel/dragon type, as the only other one is Dialga(which I don't like), and Dialga is in Ubers. But, this time, since its a dragon, it could have levitate as well, so it would only be weak to fighting. I could see this pokemon as being a very big threat in the meta-game. A water/fire and a fire/grass would also be very cool as we have a water/grass already. They might as well finish the trio.

We still haven't got a grass/dragon!!! We need a Tropius evolution that's a giant Sauropod-esque dragon!

I think so much more could be done with water steel and there is so many unexplored combos for steel.
