Your signature type?
 
If you had to make A team with all pokemon sharing one common element what do you use?

I personaly use water because Its simply so diverse. If I tried I could probably name a water pokemon with every other sub element except fire!

Though ironicly my very first pokemon was fire and I love the fire element... but its just not as diverse and has more common weaknesses like the ever powerfull earthquake, surf ect...

Water can easily block out its 2 weaknesses with sub elements like

swampert,gastrodon,quagsire,whiscash (and launtern if its got volt absorb) can all negate electric.

Most water pokemon can learn ice beam which negates grass aswell as some sub elements like flying or dragon.

Zaroas August 18th, 2010 4:12 PM

Steel, because it's sturdy yet strong. Some Pokemon, like Forretress and Skarmory and very good defense wise while Pokemon like Scizor can be extremely powerful. It can be very diverse like water, as well as unpredictable.
Ironically, my first non-starter Pokemon, Magnemite, is steel type.

Timbjerr August 19th, 2010 1:52 AM

Poison because of their show and tactical battle strategy. :D

Toxic everything in your path, perhaps flamethrower'ing the occasional steel-type, and it's only a matter of stalling until you win. :P

Mirby August 19th, 2010 1:56 AM

This one is a toughie... I'd have to say...

I can't pick one. I choose a whole team that I can swap out at will to take on any type! D:

MonsteR. August 19th, 2010 2:00 AM

Water. Dont know why but i have always liked water over everything else, even though its usually the last type i add to my party.

Cohacq August 19th, 2010 4:04 AM

Fire, as I have always loved that type for it pure strenght.

Also, Psychic for that same reason (being introduced to pokemon through the first movie kinda made an impression regarding the psychic type :P)

Agent Clank August 19th, 2010 9:44 AM

Eletric.
Because I'm always suprisingly good with them and I seem to always pull through.

Aether★ August 19th, 2010 9:50 AM

F-F-F-F-F-FIRE! I love to burn everything I can in the game. It's quite powerful type. Psychic is my second signature type and Electric is the third.

Legobricks August 19th, 2010 9:55 AM

Grass... now shame there are no grass+flying Pokemon (none I've seen anyway) since I tend to use birds. Put you to sleep, leech seed you, poison, stun; the monsters themselves aren't often particularly strong but you can in a way just sit back and wait for your enemy to whittle away, plus they tend to have healing moves like Synthesis and XXXXdrain.

Jumpluff and Tropius.

and my signature type is probably steel or bug.

okjoek August 19th, 2010 11:10 AM

Yea, how can you forget tropius and jumpluff?

fire sadly has too many obvious weaknesses like the ever common earthquake and how water pokemon outnumber fire pokemon in the pokedex overall.

I still manage to make it sucessfull through a number of tricks like will-o-wisping and putting a grass sunny day/solar beamer into the team aswell as a poison pokemon that can use flamethrower.

Weavile05 August 19th, 2010 12:47 PM

Fire and Fighting are kinda tied. Fire types are my Favorite Starters (except for Feraligatr) and Blaziken and Infernape are my Favorite Starters overall. Plus Magmortar and Lucario are some of my other favorite Pokemon. After that, I would have to say... Flying.

Jumpluff... I dunno actually.
Tropius, I don't like it much and barely ever see it. I've only ever seen one trainer with one... :/

Still, neither of them are birdlike.

TokioHumaNeko August 19th, 2010 1:03 PM

Fire,Dark,Poison,and Psychic for me.

Seviper,Ekans,Arbok,Umbreon,Houndoom,any of those.

Usagirainbow August 19th, 2010 1:16 PM

Tied between Dark and Ghost for me (...so obvious >.> ) at first I was more of a Water user but after 3rd gen. I dunno..everything shifted for me xD (maybe because it was the first time i didn't use water as a starter?) though lately i've been leaning more towards Ghost...

The Red Chain August 19th, 2010 1:35 PM

I would have to say Psychic.
I'm very fond of all the psychic type Pokemon. They are very fun to use~
I already have a mono-type team I'm working on.. currently consisting of Metagross, Espeon and Girafarig.

Before you say anything, Girafarig is fun for Baton Passing. It's not totally useless. D':
I'm liking the idea of using Jumpluff and Roserade together more and more though lately..
Maybe I'll give Grass a try sometime. :D


Kelp August 20th, 2010 7:16 AM

I'd use Ghost, then stock up my team with pokemon like Spiritomb and Sableye, with no weaknesses. >=D

Sydian August 20th, 2010 9:48 AM

How about normal types? :) They're, imo, the most diverse of any type, seeing that they can learn a ton of TMs, even though it's weird seeing a Furret with Flamethrower, Zigzagoon with Surf, and Persian with Shadow Ball. Oh, and let's not forget that normal types include the ~fabulous~ Smeargle. ;) But I can find a way to work with any type, really. I love diversity among teams and movesets.

dragoniteuser August 20th, 2010 9:52 AM

Dragons... you can't go wrong with them!

littlekid137 August 20th, 2010 10:46 AM

I'd go Dark.

When dark was released in G2 it took me forever to figure out a weakness vs Karen in the E4 (Houndoom, murkrow).

Master Of Electric Raichu August 20th, 2010 11:01 AM

ELECTRIC!!!!!!! seriously i only use electric types ever since cystal i thought the other types were lame but the ground type gens are HARD!!! i use dig with my raichu thats the only way i win and bite with luxray i like electric types because i like sp atk and atk and speed

Amore August 20th, 2010 12:05 PM

Steel, and Dragon, hence Dialga is my signature legendary :D

Silhouette August 20th, 2010 1:13 PM

Oh man, this is going to be tough. For me, it's either electric or steel. I can't decide amongst the two!

Steel has awesome designs, like Aggron, Steelix, Metagross, Empoleon, Jirachi. . . I would probably list all of the steel types, here. But, along with them, the Electric type has some cool designs, too, like Luxray, Ampharos, Electivire. . .

I'm in a dilemma here. :(

Alamos August 20th, 2010 1:21 PM

Have to go with electric on this one. Steel for second place though.

dragon0fangz August 20th, 2010 2:31 PM

i decided im going to be the bug type after all, since no one else is, and i love all of the bug types designs. some of the steel, i can frown at (Magnezone, Probopass, Empoleon, and a few others)
