What is the best pokemon type overall??

FINALLY! I finished.


Anyway, according to my calcs, the best type is steel/flying.

I gave each type a type value based of a formula I came up with. With the current available types, the lowest Type Value I calculated was assigned to ice/grass and ice/flying with a Type Value of 4, and the highest was 17, assigned to flying/steel.

anyone want to know the type values of any other types?
 
wot woukd kingdras weakness be. i mean thunder type move would do sumfen while grass types would do the same.
 
I'm not quite sure if there is a "best" type. Also, Amp, about Ice/Steel, Fighting anyone?
 
Well, in my personal opinion, Ghost and Dark types have an advantage, and if you equip it with moves that can harm anything normally effective, you can take over a HUGE percantage of different pokemon, and if it's EV trained for those certain moves, It be virtually unbeatable. Hmm...I should do that...

Ice is also very good, its super effective against alot, but everyone loves fire types...

The Dragon/Ice idea i liked to
 
Let's see... If they actually gave a Ghost/Dark good stats and a useful moveset, it would be quite a fearsome beast indeed.

Dragon/Steel? It would have access to useful offensive moves, have the Defense of a Steel Type, and it's only weakness is... Ground, if I'm not mistaken? Go, Dialga!
 
kekekekeke, if you managed to get a Sableye and a Shedinja in a double battle and Skill Swapped 'em, you'd have an invincible Sableye >:D

. . . making ghost/dark the best type combo.

I wonder, if a machamp or something uses "foresight" what will happen next turn? wouldn't that be super effective since Dark is weak to fighting and foresight enabling you to hit ghosts.

Same thing with Kangaskhan his ability enables him to attack ghosts.

i think fire/fighting is the best type.(my infernape knows grass knot, shadow claw, fire blast and close combat) fire/fighting is good against almost any type.
 
I guess I'm biased, but you can't go wrong with Water types. Especially all the dual-waters there are now (sooo many different type combos and choices!) Water/Steel, Water/Ground, Water/Ice, Water/Flying.

And water types have nice move pools, usually. As a whole, the water group is well-rounded in stats (par maybe Defense), each Water Pokemon has different attacks and abilities, it's hard not to fall in love with them.
 
How about a Dark/Dragon type? I'm not sure about weaknesses but that will sure come in handy.

I think they should make a triple type of Dragon/Ice/Dark. That would be awesome but Dragon and Ice in dual types.
