Is anybody here a type-specialty trainer?

    I would really like to know your strategy for covering up weaknesses.

    Me: Psychic

    Bronzong and Gallade can handle Dark-types. Gallade's Drain Punch takes down Darks while recovering HP.

    Bronzong and Girafarig handle Ghost-types. Girafarig is immune and equiped with Crunch. Bronzong's Payback hits after Giratina's Shadow Force for 2x damage. And Espeon knows bite and Gallade Night Slash as a bonus

    Gallade is a physical attacker for those misled into thinking lowering my Sp Atk or upping their Sp Defense will save them.

    Again my Bronzong handles Bug-types and Cresselia can take some hits and recover (my whole team can recover) while hitting the Bugs. Cresselia can also heal her teamates with Lunar Dance+Focus Sash.

    Manaphy's Ice Beam takes down many OUs and Ubers that are Dragon/Flying.

    I used to go all out on water Pokemon.
    They were the bomb.
    Now I build a balanced team, where every type needs to be different.
    I'm just way to precise like that. 0,o​
     
    I used to have a team of Bug Types, however they weren't that good... I may re-use my bug team though.
     
    Water consisting of the last 2 water starter chinchou Kingdra and then flygon with a random.
     
    I used to focus on Water types, because they're my favourite, but my latest strategy is to be well-balanced and have 10 different types on my team.

    My current team is Empoleon (Water/Steel), Staraptor (Normal/Flying), Luxray (Electric), Roserade (Grass/Poison), Rapidash (Fire), and Garchomp (Dragon/Ground).

    And the new team I'm working on will be Blastoise (Water), Raichu (Electric), Blaziken (Fire/Fighting), Venusaur (Grass/Poison), Staraptor (Normal/Flying), and Scizor (Bug/Steel).

    Yeah, that was a boring post... :)
     
    I used to have team of fires when i got the national dex. Infernape, Rapidash, Heatran(fav legendary),Magmortar,Typhlosion(fav starter) and Torcoal, pretty good but were destroyed against waters lol :)
     
    I use metal types in game
    my team is:
    magnazone lv74
    Metagross lv 87
    aggron lv 79
    skarmory lv 68
    magnaton lv48
    lucario lv82
     
    I don't, but I love fire types so I often have 2 of them on my team. I think I may try an all fire type team sometime though...
     
    I've done Psychic monotypes for the challenge.
    Basically, my last team consisted of Gardevoir, Gallade, Starmie, Bronzong, Chimecho and Medicham.
    There was some great type coverage on this team. :]
     
    I've done a flying type run before now.
    Make sure there's plenty of dual-types, and that my movesets offer type coverage.
    And I also used Roost when I needed to get rid of flying-type to survive incoming attacks.
     
    I specialize in Normal Type pokemon. The way I cover for my weakness to fighting is by using sheer power to overcome it. There isn't much that can stop a Belly-Drum, Salac Boosted Ursaring with Facade, quickfeet and Toxic Orb.
     
    Once I had a team of all Fire pokemon. I got pretty far too, but then I got bored.

    Click to expand...

    You could try Girafarig seeing as it's dual Psychic and Normal's only weakness is Fighting and of course any Normal/Flying
     
    i used to run all rock types. those were some pretty interesting battles there.

    Now im going ice/water dual teams. its pretty hard, but lapras pretty much saves my life
     
    Well, way back when I first got Silver (Yes, silver) I tried to be some kind of "bird keeper" It worked out for the most part.... Well, I had a:
    Noctowl
    Farfetch'd
    Pigeot
    Fearow
    Ho-oh (Traded I think)
    And then later on, Lugia.
    Some of the gyms got extremely challenging (Steel gym) So I also had help of my trusty Quilava :D
     
    The only time i've really specialised in a specific type and had a team consisting fully of Pokémon of that type are in the Monotype Challenges. Doing the Electric one was fun but I eventually got bored and never got round to completing it.

    I did try once to be an Ice specialist in Blue whereby I had a Lapras and Dewgong as well as a Starmie and a couple of others, but it wasn't really a team full of Ice types as they're pretty hard to come by in Gen I and i'm not a fan of using Legendaries.
     
    i am personally a fan of steel and dragon types but im not picky so no i am not a one type trainer
