Pokémon you like from your least favorite type
 
We all tend to have a least favorite type, but that doesn't mean we dislike every Pokémon within that type. So check the type chart and select what you currently believe is your least favorite type - what are some Pokémon from it that you actually do like?

icycatelf February 2nd, 2022 6:00 AM

Steel's close, but Fighting is probably my least favorite (Timburr line had a big impact here). Tyrogue and Gallade are probably tied as my favorite Fighting-types, followed by Lucario and non-Mega Blaziken. I'm also cool with Hitmonchan, Mienshao, and non-Mega Heracross.

Corveone February 2nd, 2022 6:00 AM

I like Ampharos, Lanturn, Luxray, Galvantula (even after it missed 2 out of 4 Thunders at the E4 in my B2 playthrough despite having Compound Eyes), Heliolisk, and some of the Rotom forms.

Roni February 2nd, 2022 6:06 AM

I think I've grown to have Ice as my least fave, considering just how many weaknesses it has compared to its resists (i.e. just itself lol)

All that said, Snom is still my boi <3

Fairy February 2nd, 2022 6:11 AM

I’d say either Fighting or Ground are probably my least favorite. But both of them do have some awesome Pokémon in their respective types.

Lucario, Toxicroak, Breloom, and Scrafty are some personal favorites of mine. And Garchomp, Gliscor, Excadrill, and Marowak are great too!

RadEmpoleon February 2nd, 2022 6:35 AM

I think my least favorite type is Poison (I can't think of a particular reason why though), but my favorite Poison types are Roserade, Nihilego, and Drapion

ReKoil February 2nd, 2022 9:58 AM

Ghost, Rock, Fighting and Fire are my least favorite types and I wasn't that sure how to pick between them.
So I just looked at which of them had the least mons I like. Which was pretty close between Ghost and Fighting, but Ghost takes the least favorite type spot due to Fighting literally having 2 more mons I like lol

Ghosts I like: Misdreavus/Mismagius, Sableye, Shuppet/Banette, Froslass, Rotom, Oricorio (Sensu), Mimikyu, Lunala & Spectrier

faf February 2nd, 2022 10:32 AM

Fighting and Fairy.
Scrafty's my favourite Pokémon so that's a given but I do like Kommo-o, Toxicroak, Breloom, and Hawlucha.

For Fairy, I do like Grimmsnarl, Tapus, and Xerneas. I also have a soft spot for Aromatisse for helping me so much for draft teams.

Tho I guess for both types, I do like sword doge and shield doge too even if the designs are a bit ridiculous but I like ridiculous designs plus dogs.

EmTheGhost February 2nd, 2022 10:33 AM

Hmmm, Fighting types I like...Pheromosa, Buzzwole, Falinks, Scrafty, Infernape, Mega Mewtwo X, Machoke (yeah, kind odd that Fighting is my least favorite type but I like this Pokemon, but I just like how it's so human-like yet so not).

Bellsprout February 2nd, 2022 1:22 PM

Kadabra, Starmie, Jynx, Hypno, Espeon, Claydol, Metagross, Musharna, Sigilyph

Mintaka☆ February 3rd, 2022 5:40 PM

This distinction is a toss-up between Normal and Fighting, but there are quite a few Pokémon of those types that I like. Let's see...

Normal: Jigglypuff, K-Meowth, Teddiursa, Ursaring, Stantler, Hoennian Zigzagoon, Zangoose, Helioptile, Heliolisk, Type: Null, Silvally, Indeedee, Wyrdeer, Ursaluna.
Fighting: G-Farfetch'd, Sirfetch'd, Heracross, Hitmontop, Riolu, Lucario, Gallade, Hawlucha, Buzzwole, Marshadow, Hisuian Sneasel, Sneasler, and last but not least my baby Falinks!

Amore February 3rd, 2022 8:42 PM

If you exclude Grass/Poison-types, Poison is my least favourite type. So out of them Croagunk is growing on me, and I like Crobat's design (although I think it should be coloured like HGSS Gengar) despite finding its pre-evo's terrifying.

FeraligatrMaster February 4th, 2022 4:28 AM

My least favourite type is the Normal type. They can't hit anything super effectively (except in Inverse battles, in which nothing resists it), and HM's have soured me on the type even more.

The Normal types that I like are the original Meowth line, Dodrio, Kangaskhan, Tauros, Ditto, Snorlax, Porygon2, Smeargle, Miltank, Blissey, Swellow, Staraptor, Lickilicky, Porygon-Z, Cinccino, Braviary, Meloetta, Heliolisk, Toucannon, Bewear, and Obstagoon. I also have a soft spot for Fearow, Wigglytuff, Furret, Linoone, Zangoose, Lopunny, Purugly, Audino, Diggersby, and Indeedee.

Cosmega February 10th, 2022 2:31 AM

I don’t like ice very much. Has a lot of weaknesses, basically no resistances, and, meanwhile they have 4 advantages, that would make them really good hard-hitters if they were faster, GameFreak decided they want the “slow and deffensive” technique for ALL of them. Anyway, I love alolan Ninetales. It’s fabulous. And my favorite ice type. I also love Lapras, Aurorus, Spheal, Glaceon, and Snom…
Well, it’s Snom. You can’t hate it

Rengoku February 10th, 2022 1:16 PM

Hmm, I wanted to say Rock or Ground type but I realized I loved more Pokémon as newer ones get introduced that don't look like unpolished /ugly/ rocks and dirts. I would say Electric, unpopular opinion, I absolutely don't like Electric types for no reasons. Except for Raikou.

Mintaka☆ July 5th, 2022 4:34 PM

I have found out that Normal and Fighting aren't my only least favourite types; I have an entire tier of least favourite types which includes the two mentioned above along with Dark, Ice, Grass and Rock. That said, from those types I like...

Dark: Sableye, Incineroar, Houndour, Houndoom (moreso its Mega), Johtonian Sneasel, Weavile, Greninja, Unovan Zorua (but not Zoroark) and Impidimp (but not its evolutions.)
Ice: Johtonian Sneasel (again), Weavile (again), Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Ninetales, Glastrier, Spheal, Sealeo (but not Walrein), Lapras, Kyurem.
Grass: Bulbasaur, Ivysaur (but NOT Venusaur), Budew, Roselia (but not Roserade as of late), the Cherubi line, the Chikorita line, the Applin line, Hisuian Voltorb (but not Electrode), Mow Rotom, the Phantump line, the Rowlet line, Dhelmise and regular Calyrex.
Rock: The Anorith line, the Tyrunt line, the Alolan Geodude line, the Rockruff line, Kleavor, Carbink, Diancie, Stakataka and Hisuian Growlithe (but not Arcanine).

That should be it.

Sweet Serenity July 5th, 2022 8:09 PM

Perhaps my least favorite Pokémon type is Bug-type, namely because it has too many weaknesses on defense and too many other types resist it on offense. However, my favorite Bug-type Pokémon is Butterfree, mainly because of her ability Compound Eyes, which boosts move accuracy by multiplying the move’s original accuracy by 1.3. As a result, Sleep Powder, which normally has 75% accuracy, has 97% accuracy when used by Butterfree with Compound Eyes. I then use Quiver Dance, a move that boosts Butterfree’s Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed by one stage each while the opponent is sleeping, and use Baton Pass, a move that passes Butterfree’s stat boosts (and other possible things such as non-volatile status conditions) and switch into my special sweeper for an easy sweep. It’s an unexpected strategy that often results in several wins for that reason alone. I also love Pinsir, Heracross, Scizor, and Golisopod because of their raw power.

Megan July 6th, 2022 9:21 PM

This was a difficult one, tbh.

Poison: Roserade, Dragalge, Eternatus
Fire: Rotom-H
Fighting: Marshadow

Zed01 July 8th, 2022 9:53 AM

Fairy is my least favorite type but there are still a lot of Fairy type Pokemon that I like so I'll list just a few that I like the most (my favorites): Alolan Ninetales, Tapu Koko, Togekiss, Florges and Whimsicott.

Squirtkipfan01 July 8th, 2022 10:34 AM

Fairy without a doubt, they either are over the top cutesy, over the top pink, or something that already existed thats now a fairy. Sylveon though i think perfectly works in being cute, pink, and not over the top

vitamin_z July 8th, 2022 11:04 AM

I'll double down on fairy being my least favorite type, but Mawile (both mega and regular) is one of my favorites in general. Helps that I love steel types (along with poison, ground, and electric types)

AuroraVulpix July 24th, 2022 7:50 PM

Rock is probably my least favorite type, but I love Archeops, Aurorus, Tyrantrum, Lycanroc, Minior, etc.

Commander Saturn July 24th, 2022 11:14 PM

Not a huge electric type fan but I adore Pikachu, Pachirisu, Galvantula, Voltorb, Mareep and Raikou.

Adam Levine July 25th, 2022 2:48 AM

The Fairy type just hasn't sit right with me for a long time. Maybe it's the fact that it's undoubtedly too good of a type, and it doesn't help that the overly cutesy aesthetic that many of them share isn't my favorite. Some Fairy-types I do like include Whimsicott, Mimikyu, and Grimmsnarl, especially Whimsicott.

I feel the same way about the Ground type too. Honestly I'm even less sure why, but I have a feeling it has something to do with most Ground-types not being too interesting to me. That said, one of my most favorite Pokémon, Golurk, is a Ground-type.

colours August 20th, 2022 12:03 AM

i've tried so hard to think of something, here. there are types i dont care really care for, mainly poison, but like... poison has great pokemon? bulba line is one of my favourites, and victreebel was one of my favs for a long time! i can't even say i don't care for pure poison types considering muk is kinda cool tbh

i think i'm going to go with steel here, and pick excadrill, because exca is cool as fuck

Amore August 20th, 2022 11:13 AM

Yeah…I feel I should amend my previous post. I mentioned Gengar, forgetting it was a Poison-type! I love Gengar, have a Gengar-themed GBA! But I think of him as a Ghost primarily

KalloFox34 August 21st, 2022 2:32 PM

Despite being a Poison-type, Roserade is one of my favorite Pokémon period.

Poke fan number 489 October 12th, 2022 8:56 AM

Scizor is the coolest Bug type. Bug type is uncool, so the fact that Scizor is a stand out Pokémon for it's coolness is quite impressive.

Dastr95 January 4th, 2023 2:13 AM

My least favorite type is fairy. I haven't bothered trying to learn its strength and weaknesses by heart, and it messed with a type chart I knew well! That said, I guess I'll choose a favorite fairy. And I won't choose an older Pokémon that later got the type. Carbink looks pretty darn cool.

Janp January 4th, 2023 7:57 AM

This is hard... But I think Dark has the most Pokémon I don't feel strong connection to. But there are few expections. I love Alolan Grimer/Muk, Alolan Meowth and Rattata/Raticate. Alolan forms really redeems this type. Aside from them, some original Dark-types that I like are Purrloin/Liepard. Bombirdier and Wo-Chien.

Hashimi January 12th, 2023 1:21 AM

My least favorite type would be dark, even though there indeed are a few Pokémon I love belonging to it.
At the very top of my mind there surely are - in a Pokédex order - Houndoom, Tyranitar, Sableye, Sharpedo, Cacturne, Honchkrow, Weavile, Krookodile, Alolan Persian and Mabosstiff. The latter being in my Pokémon Scarlet team, of course.

_confused_piplup_ January 12th, 2023 7:26 AM

My least favourite types are bug and fighting, but one of my fav pokemon has them both: Pheromosa!

Rock_Salazar January 12th, 2023 5:36 PM

I pondered on this thread all day because I do not have a least favorite typing, mostly a least used typing: Fairy in my case. A lot of my current favorite fairy types were once non-fairy beforehand like Togekiss, Azumarill, and Whimsicott.

Iceshadow3317 January 14th, 2023 5:12 AM

There are a number of types I don't really care about. But my least favorite are probably Ghost, Poison, and Psychic. I've just never been a fan. While I don't like other types, there is enough pokemon in them that I like to omit them here.

Ghost - Until Kalos, I didn't really like any ghost type pokemon. But all of the Kalos Ghost types I've loved. As well as Decidueye. Ceruledge also came along and has been a favorite.

Poison - Aside from the Nidos, Dragalge, and Nihilego, there aren't many I like. And I only like Nihilego because of the Shiny.

Psychic - Latis, Ralts line, and Hatterene are really the only ones I like. I used to like the Reuniclus line, loved it in Unova games, but I have barely used it at all and I guess I've lost interest in it over timer.
