There are definitely some types that are more dependable.
Personally I try to have at least a water and a ground type.

I'd say both Ice and Dark could go in unneeded.
They're good offensively, but their weaknesses are common as hell.

I don't know, I don't normally think about it that way. Usually if I make a team, it's because I look at a pokemon and go, "hey that guy looks cool I wanna train one of those"
And then from there, I just try to build off that, seeing what weaknesses it has that needs covering, and what it can cover in return.

I'd agree, although I like a lot of designs from both of those types.

I always have a Steel type, not that I shoehorn it in, just almost all of my favorites are Steel.
Ghosts too. I don't even use hazards, so I guess I don't need to.

Ice, definitely. Dark has SOME use with a good enough second type.
Tyranitar and Mandibuzz are somewhat popular, after all.

Oh, definitely. I'm not saying they're bad.
Pic related is my favorite, and it's always on my team.
Still, glass canon.

know what's disappointing, though? The model for sneasel in XY looks great, and weavile in comparison just looks dull.

Huh. It was actually the opposite for me.
Wasn't too happy with how Sneasel looked. But then it evolved into Weavile, which I loved.

Top priority:
Water - best defensive typing
Steel - even after the nerf, it's still a boon to have more often than not
Ground or Electric - TWave immunity, good defensive typing
Fire - WoW immunity
Poison - Poison immunity, removes toxic spikes, great defensive typing to boot
Ghost - two immunities and blocks spins, another good defensive typing

Least:
Normal
Grass
Bug
Psychic

There's some line in game about how the kimono she's wearing has some metal framing underneath, for the wing shape, so she's gotta be real strong to carry it around all place. Or something. I'm paraphrasing.

That isn't even that much, goddamn. I mean it's a lot for an outfit but it's evenly spread out over her body so it isn't that impressive.

The average Electric pokemon is garbage defensively
It doesn't matter that the type doesn't have many weaknesses when the vast majority of them get OHKO'd by neutral moves anyway

I pick a Pokemon I really want to use and try to build a team around it. I fill it with stuff just by thinking about walls, coverage and how to deal with top threats. After battling I tweak it or swap pokemen out.

Reduced damage from fire and ice-type moves just turns some people on.

it's still not exactly light. To wear something like that ALL DAY you have to have a bit of muscle. Plus the way the outfit positions her arms, her arms and abs need to be strong.

Then again, I have made a team comprised of two steels and four dragons and won consistently with it for the heck of it.

Quoted By:

>I always have at least 2 things with Flying/Levitate, and at least one Ground type (I use Flygon a lot). A Normal or Dark type is mandatory for Ghosts. Steel or Fairy is mandatory for Dragons. Ghost type is really convenient to have. Electric or Rock type to counter Talonflame. Grass types are convenient since most counter Breloom and Mega Venusaur (dependent on set). Water types are some of the best all around.

>Types that I generally avoid:
Fire (I usually don't mind one thing taking a WoW).
Ice (liability type)
Fighting (unless I'm lacking super powerful offense or look Dark-weak)
Bug (kind of a liability type except for Genesect/Scizor/Forretress)

>Types I only use for certain reasons:
Psychic (mostly just Espeon)
Dragon (secondary typings on a few specific Pokes)
Poison (a few select Pokes and that mono Poison team I tried for fun)
