What pokemon type is the most powerful?

[Golden Mew]

There are different types of pokemon that have Strengths and Weaknesses but the question has to know what type is the most powerful.
I just want to know it because I always ask it to myself so I hope you guys can help me.

Water, definitely.
Not only do Water types have Pokémon ranging from Tanks, walls and clerics to Sweepers and whatnots, but their usually high SP.Defense and HP make them extremely useful, considering many of them can learn Mirror Coat and that Water types only have special weaknesses.
Not to mention Water types often have wide movepools that provide them with a great type coverage.
Water types also tend to have interesting type combinations.

Wooper/Quagsire is an example of an interesting combination, water/ground. Thats really cool, Immunity to electric attacks. ^_^

Not to mention the resistance against Rock and Poison, the ground type makes Wooper/Quagsire/Marshtomp/Swampert especialy weak against grass, though, but Quagsire's Amnesia pretty much makes up for that.

This is a very general game questions, therefore I will move it to where it would be better suited.

Bug and Dark are denfenitly the weakest. But I think that Water and Fire are the strongest types.

Steel/Fighting Will be the strongest, when it comes out, of course. Finnally, a legendary fighting pokemon. In the first generation, Dragon and psychic were meant to be the two strongest, not to mention the fact that all the unobtainable legendaries have some psychic in them.

I personally think Psychic types are the strongest pokemon
'cuz they tend to be very fast and have insanely high special attack
and although their movepools tend to not be the greatest they learn
a good enough veriety of moves to take on any other type and win.

I have to say water and phychic
Because I agree what Smarties - kun said and phychic because of what VanirElf said :P.

I would have to say....Dragon. It has so many resistances, then it only has two weaknesses ice and dragon.

 

[satoshi_ash150]

it's definatly got to be dragons. RAW POWER!

 

[shanecdavis]

Psychic used to be the strongest until GSC came out and then it took another hit with the third gen games. Water has surpassed it though.

The weakest is Bug, followed by Fire. I don't understand why people think Fire is so strong. Its Water/Ground weakness far exceeds its Bug/Grass/Ice strength.

well whenever im playing a pkmn game, i always have an alakazam available with psychic. one hit wonders most of the time. darks faint too easily by fighting. but i think psychic pokes are just fast, and most of their attacks are specials. which is one of their strong points. bug, dark, and ghost are the only weaknesses. but people always say to me, "OMG THATZ NOT TEH TRUE! ALAKAZAM CAN PWN GENGAR!!!1!!1!!one" well that's because his 2nd type is poison.. obviously. so the main point of this post is saying Psychics and or Dragon would be the most powerful type most of their attacks are special-based.
