The Type Cycle Challenge! (REVIVED!)
 
Welcome, one and all to the Type Cycle Challenge thread! (Revived!)

The entire basis behind Pokèmon is the idea of type advantages and disadvantages. This challenge expounds on this concept of creating a team that would be equally matched against each other in their advantages and disadvantages!

NOTE: Teams in this challenge will only consist of 3 pokèmon, and these pokèmon will be chosen by a RNG! If you would like to have a team with 6 pokèmon or despise RNGs with a vengeance, well, tough luck! .-.

To begin this challenge, choose one of the following Type Cycles, as I have dubbed them, and then put that cycle's Cycle Code (CC) in your Registration Form. Some of the Cycles will include immunities to give certain types more chances to be used.

Type Cycles

Hey, I have a few tips. First, you might not want to reveal the Champ for X/Y, because unlike a lot of people, some people still don't have the game. Also, you can't say you don't have a challenger, because you can include yourself. Also, I'll sign up to get you started.

No problem, thanks, and I'd appreciate it if I could get a Dark-type for the last four games, if that's ok.
