What dual types are your favorites?

I gravitate towards dual types who work in synergy to cover each other's weaknesses, with the best-case scenario being one weakness.
Think Bug/Steel, Water/Dragon, Normal/Ghost, etc.
 
My personal favorites:
Bug/steel because of Scizor.
Water/ground because of Swampert.
Dragon/Steel because of Dialga.

Dual typings I would love to see improved:
I really want to see a rock/steel pokemon that focuses more on offense than defense. Given that defense wise it is a terrible type.

I love also love to see more grass/rock mons as I think that is an underrated typing. My recent playthrough of Sapphire I used Cradily and I was honestly impressed with it.
 
It's definitely interesting whenever something is unique, or it's a type combination that we've only gotten recently after so many generations. Something like Grafaiai being Normal/Poison comes to mind. It's not necessarily a crazy combination (I guess the most interesting thing is Poison balancing out Normal's weakness to Fighting) but it's still noteworthy because Shroodle and Grafaiai are the only Pokemon with that combination (at this point in time!), despite those two types being present since the very start of the series.

I think anything that nullifies one type's weakness and creates a new 4x weakness is also interesting. Something like Water/Ground nullifying Electric but being 4x weak to Grass, or Grass/Steel nullifying Poison but being weak to Fire.
Things like Steel or Dragon just have a lot of interesting options in general due to their resistances and especially how Dragon Pokemon seem to be designed.

And of course a silly example is Rhydon's family being Ground/Rock instead of Rock/Ground. Because the distinction is important.~

There are a bunch of dual types available now! Out of the dual type possibilities in this series, which ones do you tend to like more, or think are neat/have potential? :3c

I like normal/ghost types because they have a lot of immunities and steel/fairy because they're really strong and can lead into flying type switch ins

I think Electric/Dragon type pokemon would be cool, unfortunate that it has 4 weaknesses because I think it'd be really cool to have a dragon that shoots out thunderbolts.. OR WAIT, what if it flies up above the sky and circles around to create a thunderstorm!?
 
I actually love poison and steel type Pokemon, the combination of the two isn't that great, but it's kind of Unique, sadly we have only 2 representatives, both being a evolutionary line, and they're not that great actually
 
Mine are Electric/Dark and Ice/Dark. No real reason beyond those being my current top three favorite types at the moment.
 
I think any combination that patches weaknesses are cool, but I think the best ones are when there is really only one weakness altogether. Overall, Water/Ground and Bug/Steel are my favourites. Grass as an only weakness is good as it's usually not a common coverage type, and the latter has many resistances on top of only one weakness. Swampert and Scizor are also amongst my top 10 favourites.
 
Tbh?
Anything with Ghost or Dark typing
 
I've always liked Ghost/Fairy types, super cool mix of spooky and cute, and they tend to have fun movepools. Also anything Electric/Grass or Fire/Water always catches my eye since it feels unexpected but works surprisingly well in battle.
