Is there a better type combination than this?

Bug/Steel is still one of the strongest type combos around, as its only significant weakness is Fire which can be easily avoided, meanwhile every other weakness is cancelled out. Tons of resistances too.

Pure Electric. It only has the easiest weakness to get around to worry about, while boasting 3 resistances and immunity to paralysis.

Dragon/steel is pretty aight.
poison/dark is cool too.

But I really do want a normal/ghost.

Bug/steel is pretty good but fire type moves are not super rare.

I don't think countering yourself is really an advantage in battle...since your opponent would counter you just as easily

Ghost/Normal with Close Combat or Drain Punch wins

I've literally wanted a Normal/Ghost. Ever since they started adding Normal as a subtype to non-fliers in gen 4. I also think its the perfect candidate for a Shedinja clone.

Make it either a Skeleton or a Zombie.

Justified is shit for Ghost-Types because it doesn't "absorb" the attack like Storm Drain or Flash Fire.

Only issue I can think of is that it needs to run a dark type move so it doesn't get walled by another of itself, and running both dark and ghost moves isn't really great

Yes, but it's it's only weakness, so it forces the opponent to stick to neutral attacks or buff its Attack.

Although his Defense is decent, he has poor HP and Sp.Def, meaning that he won't take Effective hits very well.

He also has Hustle and Truant as his abilities. And although the buff Hustle gives is nice, it makes its accuracy shaky, meaning it will have to rely on Hone Claws to do something reliable. Swarm is ok, but it only kicks in at low HP and only affects Bug moves.

Steel/Fairy is proven to be the best typing overall. This includes the types of moves they generally get. How else do you think Mawile became relevant again? It would need both a type change and a stat boost....which it was given.

So what are overall the best typing combinations?

Defensively we have Grass/Steel, Bug/Steel, Steel/Fairy, Ghost/Normal, Water/Ground, and what else?

I'm not so sure about offensive typings though.

Ice/Ground is only resisted by Shedinja, Surskit, Wimpod, possibly Wimpod's evo, and possibly the new spider line.

Poison/steal would be great too if it weren't for everything learning earthquake,
Of course levitate would fix that.
