So I'm pretty sure this goes here, not just in Pokemon General. Being gameplay related and all that.
Dual typings! We have so many already; some types have actually been paired with every other type already (Flying)! And yet, even though we may not realize how many typings still don't exist, there are a lot! What typings are currently non-existent, that you would most like to see? Why would they go well together? What do you think their stat layout, and movepools would be? And their design?
Personally, my top... Mmmmm three I'll say right now, Ice/Poison, Grass/Fire, and Dragon/Fairy.
An Ice / Poison type; would not be great defensively :P Ice types usually aren't. (Get out of here Avalugg.) It would be weak to steel, rock, fire, ground, and psychic - and it would only resist Ice, poison, grass, bug, and fairy. HEY! That's an Ice type that actually HAS RESISTANCES THOUGH. Haha. But those aren't bad resistances! And Ice / Poison makes way for a great Special attacker with some sweet dual STAB attacks - I'd imagine some Sp Def too because Poison types aren't uncommonly endowed with a bit 'o that. As for design, whenever I mention this to one of my best friends, he pokes fun at me saying it would just be a scorpion in an ice cube :P I'd like to think of it as maybe some monster egg group type, that exudes freezing chemicals, or a muk-like creature made of antirfreeze. (yes, antifreeze- because poison and ice makes sense for that as an ice type too.)
Grass Fire would neutralize sooooo many weaknesses of both grass and fire individually. It would lose the grass weakness to bug, fire, and ice, and the fire weaknesses to water, and ground. Leaving it only weak to flying, poison, and rock. While still resisting Grass 4x, Fairy, Steel, and electric types! It'd be a grass type with more resistances than weaknesses! ;-; And offensively, oh lordy mercy it'd be outstanding offensively. (Except y'know... against fire or dragon types. Assuming it doesn't have coverage.) I'd imagine it as a burnt tree maybe, with embers still glowing on its trunk, or maybe covered in bright red foliage visually similar to Volcarona's wings fiery spores or toxins that burned. I could see physical or specially offensive for this type combo - but it doesn't really seem like it would have great defensive stats.
Dragon Fairy - I mostly covered in the dragon fan club thread. I think Dragonite should already be Dragon / Fairy. Its got the looks and the stats (nice sp def there buddy) all it needs is play rough or moonblast, both of which I could see Dragonite getting.
So go on, let me hear yours!
