Steel has the huge advantage of a massive defensive presence though, and most competitive teams use one (in game not so much, as there's a lack of them (bar Magnemite and klingklang, which few people like)) but it will be nice to use them offensively. Poison types probably won't be used as much as steel, as it hasn't got a great move pool (unless they buff this too).I'm imagining that Fairy, in terms of defense, will be specially based, which gives even more reason for steel to be used (scizor with bullet punch, for example). Slightly off topic, but what are the good poison types?
Venusaur is a good sun team member in OU, and Roserade's a decent pokemon in UU. Nidoking is the king of attackers in UU and Nidoqueen is also in a solid position in UU. Gengar's a very dangerous OU threat. Crobat is very popular in UU. Toxicroak's another good OU poison type, but he's not seen too often due to the prevalence of drought teams, but he is good on rain teams. Amoongus is a really good pokemon in RU, and (unfortunetly) Garbodor is actually not trash in the NU tier. Weezing is another strong NU pokemon and Tentacruel is a very strong defensive spinner in OU. Venomoth is also very powerful due to a very accurate sleep powder(wonder skin) and quiver dance. After that, the few remaining poison type's are rarely seen. So there are a lot of powerful poison types in the tiers, however, take in mind at least half of the poison type's listed don't even use poison moves typically. There are also very few pure poison types on this list (Weezing and Garbodor are the only one's. Although good, they're both in the NU tier for a reason).
