Types you never use?

I try to avoid dual type pokemon because I'm not that advanced. Definitely psychic type, I am definitely not in the correct environment for a pokemon of that much power!
 
In the main games I have zero use for poison, ghost, rock, or steel. A few others like fighting and bug I'll use but only if they're on a dual-typed mon with a more useful other type.
 
Rock, poison, and dragon I think I've used once each ever. Normal I pretty much only use when they're dual-types or HM slaves. I didn't used to use bug or ghost much but they've been growing on me lately. I rarely use grass in general, but I nearly always use the Rowlet line when I'm playing Gen 7.
 
i never use normal and steel type pokemon. never been fond of normal types for battles. steel types are ok and defensive but i can't even remember the last time i used one :/
 
Can't say I use Dragon types a whole lot.
 
i tend to avoid rock, ground, steel, and fighting types, so generally types that were once the physical side of the spectrum. idk i just prefer to focus on fire, water, electric, ie. what was considered special back in the day. i think it has to do with the color scheme though lol i'm not a huge fan of brown.

ironically, one of my favorite pokemon is alolan dugtrio and it's ground/steel and mostly brown. oh well!
 
Normal: Dont the lane normal-type doesnt do very much damage to much anything and rock/steel type laughs at you while attempting to brick their immense solid wall and if you dont have scrappy, Ghost will just mock you for using a normal-type.

Ice: No secondary typing or bad secondary typing, I rather stay away from fragile typing. Ice just like rock-type but SPECIAL DEFENSE sided and much rock/steel and fighting type will one-shot you with their physical moves can eat you for breakfast.

Grass: Like I said if was bad typing or no typing, I wont use any of them with a single typing or dual-typing that smells trouble (Grass/Fairy or Grass/Psychic) and think coverage moves most of its weakness.

Steel: Steel meets flame thrower user and fire blast user, how much they can tolerate to that because having very high defense stats and not much Sp. Def stats
