Ghost.
It has some of the most unique gimmicks in the moveset and ability department.

Overall? Super tough choice.

Probably psychic. I love almost all psychic pokemon, even a lot of the less popular ones like Hypno, Mr. Mime, Claydol, etc. I fucking love Wobbuffet, Medicham and Metagross, a few of my favorite Pokemon ever.
Basically it's a great type with even better designs. Plus who wouldn't want psychic powers?

>>39000989
Agreed, Mummy sticks out to me in particular, fucking hate that ability.
>>39000998
Do you think we'll ever see a real mono flying? Also based pic
>>39001056
I wanna love the ice type but it's just so difficult, Ice bros can be kinda annoying, but good on you lad. How do you feel knowing Galar will be too cold for your favorite Pokemon?

I'd love to get another mono flying, but I kinda doubt it. Considering the only mon they've been willing to give that to is a literal wind deity, I'm not sure if a non-legendary will ever meet the requirements. Castform could've worked, but I guess not.

I love psychic. Like >>39001152 said psychic has a breadth of interesting designs integrated elegantly with a spread of disciplines and literature with profound potential. Personally what psychic typically includes is in concord with my own interests, like an entomologist would love bug types as a foray of their passion, so my interest actually has an exogenous origin.

I think it's because the ghost type has always had the most consistently good designs and interesting concepts out of all the types. It's one of the rarest types but ghost pokemon are (almost) always good.

You mean design-wise or battle-wise? Either way, I agree. Ghost types just have this fun element to them, I guess. I do like it when they combine the silliness with more of a serious tone though. Trevenant in particular.

Design-wise. I don't think it's the strongest type, that would have to be steel. It's definitely among the stronger ones though.

i believe in a world where battles work like in the anime, a good trainer that practices Martial arts could train any pokemon that has fighting type as their main or secondary type to become invincible, marshadow is the coolest mythical pokemon i really really hope gen 8 finally gives me an electric fighting pokemon, aslo i need every pokemon with fighting type to survive the cut

there are only like 54, most of them should pass

Normal. I love their designs being fairly simple but often rather defined by their strongest trait. Quirky ones like Zigzagoon and Cinccino that have obsessive characteristics; designs which are too weird to belong as a specific type such as Arceus and Pory-Z; Pokemon like Smeargle and Ditto who are remembered for their specialty; something silly the way Watchog's unforgettably crazy eyes are; they often have some pretty strong quirk that helps them stand out as the rest of their design is usually rather neutral. Perfectly easy to understand and fun to play around with - it's something which really appeals to me that doesn't happen as often in other types. Plus I enjoy the reliable jack-of-all-trades kind of quality most have.
