>>31832488Defensively worst think about common coverage moves and common strong neutral STAB moves. Being weak to things like earthquake, superpower, ice beam/punch, thunderbolt/beam, stone miss, knock off, poison jab&iron head, fire blast and lastly u-turn as an aside being a common move but not really coverage. Being weak to these is inherently worse than any other type. Strong neutral hits are shit like lele's psychic and to a lesser extent latios, big steel hits from all the steels, lots of z-flys and pinsir, bunch of earthquakes. Bunch of electric spam and bunch of fairy spam.
Thus.
>ground weak is a death sentence>rock weak hinders the ability to function as well as being common coverage>steel is everywhere>Fighting still pretty good high power coverageIce/rock is weak to all this
>super strong psychic and flying nukes common.>Very powerful electric and fairy spamIce/rock resists only one (one) facet of this, and all flying nuke dudes carry one or more of the coverage types mentioned beforehand.
Of its resists only one is really relevant. Poison and normal resists are trash, all the flying moves going around are 160BP+ and do huge amounts anyway, and resisting ice is decent.
Best is always steel/flying. What if steel but immune to steels most common weakness? Skarmory will never not be OU.
>>31834201>>31834217Depends on the defensive role. Being able to switch in on billions of resists is what makes heatran so good, but being weak to a single type is what makes chansey so obnoxious. Different roles.
Ghost/Normal would be perfect for something that just sits around all fucking day and never fucking dies, Steel/anything is great to switch in, get something done and switch out, to switch in on another resist some time later.
