Defensively? Ice, no doubt
Offensively? tough call between grass and bug, the former is resisted by types so common most OU mons have a double resistance to it and hits jack shit for SE damage, but bug is resisted by fairies and also hits only one important type, dark, for actually important SE damage.

Normal adds ZERO synergy. Dragon has the same offensive matchup but also resists a bunch of key types.

normal has an immunity and only one weakness, while giving STAB to a lot of utility moves

Maybe not THE worst but Rock is definitely up there. It has the worst overall STAB options as well as being weak to 3 crucial offensive types (Steel, Ground, and Fighting). It's also only got 4 resistances stacked against its 5 weaknesses.

Electric is an underrated shit type

>few resistances
>cockblocked by one of the best and most common types in the game
>low Base Power attacks
>consists almost entirely of fast, frail special attackers
>support moves are usually limited to Thunder Wave and Light Screen
>represented by a lot of shitmons thanks to Game Freak's love of pikaclones

Electric has the same problem Ice does to a lesser extent: too many things carry Thunderbolt as coverage, so having it as a STAB is less valuable than it should be.

This, Rock is fucking garbage. All of its weaknesses are absurdly common, particularly Water, Ground, Fighting and Grass. Almost every Rock type is physically defensive too, so it doesn't help that half of these are primarily special moves.

It hits bulky Water types. That's not so bad.

ice wins, but psychic is a rarely-mentioned second. legendaries and alakazam tend to cover up the fact that it is really shit both offensively (needs to be paired with at least TWO other coverage moves in order to not get cucked by one thing or another) and defensively (knock off lol)

Normal only has one weakness and that weakness is made completely obsolete by intimidate.

Normal is the best type. Just ask Mama Kang.
