For me, Rock and Ice-types.
Rock seems to be one of those types that I slap moves of the type for covarege, such as teaching it to a Fighting or Ground-type. However, with Rockruff and Lycanroc being a thing I may actually be tempted to use a Rock-type Pokemon on my main team for once come 7th Gen. Ice is also a type I don't use any Pokemon on my main teams, since they are found often so late in the game that I already have an established team by that point, and I usually teach moves like Ice Beam to my Water-types anyway. Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales are making me think otherwise though. |
My least favorite type, actually, is Water.
It's just been the one I used the least. It could just be I never picked the Water starter (not yet at least) and never grew to like it. But I find a lot of Water pokemon uninteresting anyway. I guess that's just me. I have used Water before with Kyogre. But that's just about it. I do plan to choose Piplup in Platinum (or the DP remakes, if there are some) and replay Hoenn in OmegaRuby with Mudkip. So perhaps I'll change my mind. Other than that, I don't use Poison much. It just doesn't have many types it's good against and I don't like the way most are designed. Also, Normal and Ghost. Not because they're bad pokemon, I just hadnt found any pokemon of this typing interesting enough to put on my team. Don't use Rock or Ground much either. |
I almost never seem to have bugs on my team, even less than fighting. ); And while I looove ice types I hardly seem to use those either (not out of choice, it just ends up that way). Steel, ground, and rock end up meeting the same unfortunate fate lol. By the time I build up my team I end up with the more common water, grass, electric, water, psychic, fairy etc but almost none of those others.
|
I don't use Poison, Ghost or Bug very much.
|
I don't think I have ever had a fighting type pokemon on my team; there haven't been any that have interested me.
I also don't use Fire, Rock, or Steel types very often. |
Fairy types. Its not that I don't like using them,its just that I come across fairy types so rarely that its impossible for me to find on that i can use strategically...
|
I hardly ever use like half the typings. I rarely use:
Fairy Fighting Rock Ground Poison Bug Steel Dragon Normal Dark Ghost I generally rotate between using: Fire, Water, Grass, Bird, Electric, Psychic and Ice. I think I need to start branching out a bit more lol |
Water & Rock
|
Fairy types and Grass types. It's quite simple, really: I just don't think there are that many cool-looking Grass or Fairy types aside from Sceptile, who, in my opinion, is the second most overrated Pokemon besides Scizor.
|
I never use Poison or Fighting types. I just don't really like very many of them, and so I'd rather use other things. I also find myself never using Fairy types; not because I dislike them - that's false - but by the time I stumble across a fairy I like, I already have my team built up. I'm trying to branch out in the coming games, I'll be using a fairy, as well as Ice (Alolan Ninetales) and Rock (Lycanroc), two other types I rarely use
|
There is 1 type I nearly never use : bug.
I just realized that actually lol. It's just not my thing. |
I don't use a lot of Poison types. I think they have too many weaknesses in game, so I rarely ever use them. The only exception is Vileplume or Victreebel, but I typically use it as my grassmon in Gen I.
|
Bug-types. Yuck. I only really like a select few, like Butterfree. I rarely use them otherwise.
Maybe Ice-types too? Or Dark-types? Not because I don't like them, but I dunno. I just don't. |
Quote:
I don't really use Normal types that often unless they're paired with Flying, but even then, I prefer to utilize something else. Porygon is probably on of the few I would consider using. Normal just doesn't seem as useful. It has no strengths or type advantages, and it has two disadvantages, being Normal cannot hit Ghost Type Pokemon, and Fighting Typre Pokemon and Fighting Type moves are so common it's hazardous out there for a Normal Type. Normal Type moves are also resisted by Rock Type Pokemon as well. No strengths, too many weaknesses. |
Sorry, but I think thanks to countless nuzruns I've used at least one mon from each type as of now.
If I was making this post a year ago... Then I will say normal or ice. |
I see myself rarely using Ghost Flying and Steel types
Ghost type because almost all of them besides the Duskull evolution tree has terrible defense and i really dont like the move set they have! Flying is alright i guess but most final evolutions of the flying types has a meh stat growth They do however got some pretty awesome moves like air slash brave bird and sky attack Althrough that does not make up for how quick they go down in battle like One rock or electric type attack is enough for them to go down. Steel type ah the steel type awesome defense but weak against the common Special type attack like flamethrower They have some cool looking evolutions like Scizor and Steelix But alas they can get knocked out rather quickly If not the right strategy is used. |
I could use Steel types more often, only one or two I can think of in my actual teams. And grass, I think in total I've used 3 or 4 mostly starters. Neither of those types ever seem to work into my teams, but I actually go by favorite Pokemon first when making my teams. Sometimes Pokemon I do like just can't fit into the 3 (or 2 with XY) games of that generation (not counting remakes).
|
I rarely use fighting types, but that may very well change with the introduction of jangmo line.
|
Thinking back on all my teams that i can remember, the only type that i basically never used was Psychic and after looking at who all the Psychic are, it kinda makes sense. I'm not really a fan of the Pokemon with that type all that much, save for Meowstic and Slowpoke (for their derpy faces). The only Psychic type I've used that i can remember in a playthrough though is Musharna and even then I boxed it around the 5th or 6th gym to make room for a different 'mon.
|
I don't have a particular type I try to avoid, but I feel like Ice types rarely make my team.
I think this is due to them generally being found in the later stages of the game, and my team tends to grow with me through game play. After the first few routes, I get pretty lazy on changing out a member of my team for a new catch, because it would require grinding to level them up. Unless theyre a pokemon I love, or have a design cool enough that I want to use them |
Bug, Poison and Rock.
|
probably Steel and ground type I seem to hardly use them.
|
I never really got myself to use Bug type pokemons. I dont know but i don't really like them.
|
I seldom use Dragon and Ice type Pokémon because they're rarely obtainable in the first half of the game. By that time I have basically formed my final team that's going to face the Elite Four already. I don't really like swapping out Pokémon I have been training for a long time.
|
Most types that were Physical before the split in gen IV. I often find myself using a more colorful array of types -- like Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, etc. So I often forgo types like Fighting, Ground, Rock, apparently all the brown ones when you look at the color coding, lmao. Welp.
