>>53875866I´m too lazy to make a chart, but I did count up every specialists, steel is actually in the top 6 of types with the most type specialists across the main series of games.
It is kind of crazy they did a steel e4 3 gens in a row (gen 8 doesn´t count), I guess it´s pretty much the new dark type now in terms of league rep, like how almost every e4 consisted of dark and ghost back in the day, and how dark didn´t get a gym til gen 8, like how steel rarely gets one.
