General Pokémon Discussion / Top 5 Steel pokemon(Scrafty's idea)
« on: November 21, 2013, 22:55 »
I'm going to be completely blunt with you guys, I completely ripped this idea off of Scarfty, but this is the only "top 5 best" thread I plan on doing and I couldn't not do a list for my favourite type, Steel. So again, thanks to Scrafty for the idea, I hope you don't mind. Anyways, the Steel type is my favourite pokemon type. It is the best type defensively with 10 resistance and 1 immunity, as well as a new usefullness in its effectiveness against the new fairy type. It has the highest defense and special defense average of all pokemon with the Steel type having an average defense of 110.8, and an average special defense of 82.9. So, here are MY top 5 favourite Steel type pokemon.
5. Metagross
Lets be honest, I think Metagross is somewhere in everyone's top favourite steel type pokemon list. Metagross has always been such a badass pokemon, boasting great attack, great defenses, a cool typing, and a good ability which prevents stat loss. All that hard effort it takes to level up beldum and metang is worthwhile, as in the end you get this beast, a complete monster in singleplayer and a great addition to my team in Black 2. Unfortunately, Metagross falls short to the other pokemon on this list.
4. Excadrill
Excadrill is one of my favourite pokemon from the black and white games. Excadrill just has such an appealing design, including the red scar-like things all over his chest and the spikes coming out of his claws and head. He's also a complete monster both in competitive play and single player, even going as far as to being banished to the uber tier as he was too good. Excadrill has always been such a cool pokemon in my eyes, but he misses my top 3 Steel types by a bit unfortunately.
3. Empoleon
Now, for the top 3. Empoleon, my first starter from generation 4, my favourite starter from generation 4, one of my favourite pokemon from generation 4, and even one of my top 10 favourite pokemon in general. Empoleon is just an awesome pokemon with a type that I always thought was really cool, as well as the fact that he's an Emperor penguin, which coincidentally, I had just done a project on in school before I got pokemon Diamond for Christmas. I really hope that a "pokemon rainbow" type game is made so that I may use Empoleon again as I have little desire to play a game from the fourth generation again.
2. Bisharp
Look at Bisharp. What a total badass. Bisharp's my favourite pokemon from generation 5 for sure and for good reasons. His type is really cool, and he has one of my faovurite pokemon design's, of course being in my top 10 favourite pokemon list. It's a real shame that when I played pokemon white, I never actually got to see Bisharp until after the elite four(one of my problems with b/w is that the cool pokemon evolve at too high levels), but thankfully, they fixed this in black 2/white 2, and I was able to bask in the glory of Bisharp's epicness.
1. Aggron
Aggron. Words cannot describe how awesome Aggron is. My favourite Steel type pokemon and, of course, in my top 3 favourite pokemon in general. I first met Aggron when I played my first pokemon game, pokemon sapphire, for the first time. I was unaware at the time of what natures did, But I had an adamant Aggron who was a complete beast. To boost this pokemons greatness even more, game freak honored us with a mega evolution of Aggron. Not only does Mega Aggron lose its pesky rock type so that it can lose its 4x weakness to fighting and ground, but it also gains a new ability in filter, reducing the damage of supper effective attacks. This combined with its great 140 base attack and incredible bulk in 70/230/80 defenses make it very hard to take down. Not to mention that Aggron is a friggen steel dinosaur with a skull helmet. SO yeah, that's my top 5 favourite steel type pokemon. What are yours?
