According to me the most sickening type combination is the Rock/Steel combo ( Bastiodon , Aggron , Probopass ) . I mean look at those mean 4x weaknesses to fighting and ground types . Also the Bug/Grass combo ( Leavanny) is also not something to be proud of considering the 4x weaknesses to fire and flying .

Well, since there's nothing directly covering the worst type combinations in Pokemon Gaming Central, moving this thread there, since the 4x weakness and such applies mostly to games anyway.

Moved.

How are they sickening...I do not get it...I guess Abomasnow's type is pretty weak but it really depends what kind of team you are going against and your stats, now doesn't it?

can't agree more . These types are really vulnerable to a huge variety of attacks

I am calling them sickening because of their huge variety of weaknesses . For example , apart from 4x weaknesses to fighting and ground , Bastiodon is also weak to water also . This huge variety of weaknesses gives it a disadvantage to use them in game

Steel/Fighting is the worst one - nine resistances, complete immunity to poison, and three measly 2x weaknesses. If that isn't sickeningly broken, I don't know what is.
Ghost/Dark as well, because the damn things have no weaknesses at all.
Reminds me of Steel/Dragon (Dialga)
Two 2x weaknesses
11 resistances
Poison immunity

Wether it's broken or not depends on the pokémon's stats.

Ah okay, I understand a bit better. Sorry, sometimes I need a bit more extre clarification.

Water/Flying is a terrible type combo imo. So is Rock/Steel as you mentioned.

All three fully evolved Rock/Steel types can learn Iron Defense, all three have high base Defense stats (Aggron: 180, Bastiodon: 168, Probopass: 145), the latter two mentioned in the parentheses have high Sp. Def., and the two types that deal 4x damage are mostly offensive. In Emerald my Aggron took an Earthquake from a Slaking while at +2 Defense and didn't even lose half its HP. It may be a bad combo, but it has yet to be given to a highly offensive Pokemon.

Grass/Psychic and Grass/Ice, on the other hand, have seven weaknesses, one of those seven on each other's part being a 4x weakness (Bug for Grass/Psychic and Fire for Grass/Ice). However, Celebi has decent Defense and Sp. Def. and both it and the Egg line (Exeggcute and Exeggcutor) have more resistances than Grass/Ice, so they're better off than Snover and Abomasnow.

Water/Flying is horrid and ruins the potential of Pokemon like Gyarados and Mantine.
Rock/Ground and Rock/Fire are also very bad type combos because of all those vulnerabilities.

This typing is actually good defensively; this is why Lucario and Cobalion can easily switch in to battle.

Also, and this is on the aesthetic side, but I think Electric/Ground is a disgrace on a fish-based Pokemon, Stunfisk.

Grass/Psychic and Grass/Ice are the worst type combinations EVER. No wonder I only use Exeggutor and Abomasnow for Pokedex filling only.

I really hate the Poison/Bug typing, while it resists some common attacking types, it's so boring and trite, not only that it takes two of the worst types and put them together, I don't know of one Poison/Bug type that I'm fond of. In terms of weakness to attacks, Ice/Bug or Normal is worse, I'm grouping Normal in here because it lacks any resistances and ghost isn't a great choice to be immune to.

Steel/Fighting is the worst one - nine resistances, complete immunity to poison, and three measly 2x weaknesses. If that isn't sickeningly broken, I don't know what is.
Even so, the Steel/Fighting type's 3 "measly' weaknesses are to the 3 most common attack types in the metagame, although it is a nice defensive typing, I don't find it to be sickeningly broken.

Dialga's type, Steel/Psychic, certainly is unusual with all those weaknesses and resistances. I never thought about it before since I have Pearl and have never used the Dialga I got off the GTS, but what was Game Freak thinking?
Huh? Steel/Psychic doesn't have a load of Weaknesses, it has Ground/Fire. Bronzor and Bronzong are currently the only Pokemon to get this typing iirc. With Levitate they become immune to ground attacks and with Heatproof they gain a resistance to fire. Dialga's typing is Dragon/Steel, giving it weakness to Fighting and Ground.

I'd say Psychic/Grass is a horrible typing, both of which are awful defensively, having weaknesses to; Fire/Ice/Flying/Bug x4/Poison/Dark/Ghost Celebi, Exeggutor and it's prevo only have this typing; thank god.

Water/Ground is a pretty sick typing only having 1 weakness to grass, too bad it's 4x

The most sickening type combination I can think of is Fire/Water. The two are diametrically opposed elements! You just can't have a single creature that embodies both types.

And don't mention boiling water or steam or feeble things like that, either. Fire types deal with actual flames, not just high temperatures., and we all know what happens when a flame meets water.

The same goes for Fire/Grass, only slightly less so. I still don't want to see any of those, though.

You forgot about Beldum, Metang, Metagross and Jirachi having this type combo too.

I also can't help but think that Kyurem's Dragon/Ice typing is rather terrible because its STABS have redudnant coverage while it gives Kyurem a common weakness to Fighting and Dragon moves (and a somewhat uncommon weakness in Steel).

even though i love Tyranitar as a pokemon i hate its type rock/dark has as many strengths as it has weaknesses.i wish it was ground/dark instead

Dialga's type, Steel/Psychic, certainly is unusual with all those weaknesses and resistances. I never thought about it before since I have Pearl and have never used the Dialga I got off the GTS, but what was Game Freak thinking?
huh?Dialga only has weaknesses to ground and fighting.the Dragon/steel combo makes Dialga one of the best defensive types overall with resistance to normal,flying,rock,bug,ghost,steel,water,(1/4)grass,electrice,dark,psychic. Poison doesnt effect it at all and its only effected normally by dragon,steel and ice.
