    If you had to make A team with all pokemon sharing one common element what do you use?

    I personaly use water because Its simply so diverse. If I tried I could probably name a water pokemon with every other sub element except fire!

    Though ironicly my very first pokemon was fire and I love the fire element... but its just not as diverse and has more common weaknesses like the ever powerfull earthquake, surf ect...

    Water can easily block out its 2 weaknesses with sub elements like

    swampert,gastrodon,quagsire,whiscash (and launtern if its got volt absorb) can all negate electric.

    Most water pokemon can learn ice beam which negates grass aswell as some sub elements like flying or dragon.
     
    Steel, because it's sturdy yet strong. Some Pokemon, like Forretress and Skarmory and very good defense wise while Pokemon like Scizor can be extremely powerful. It can be very diverse like water, as well as unpredictable.
    Ironically, my first non-starter Pokemon, Magnemite, is steel type.
     
    Poison because of their show and tactical battle strategy. :D

    Toxic everything in your path, perhaps flamethrower'ing the occasional steel-type, and it's only a matter of stalling until you win. :P
     
    Water. Dont know why but i have always liked water over everything else, even though its usually the last type i add to my party.
     
    Fire, as I have always loved that type for it pure strenght.

    Also, Psychic for that same reason (being introduced to pokemon through the first movie kinda made an impression regarding the psychic type :P)
     
    Eletric.
    Because I'm always suprisingly good with them and I seem to always pull through.
     
    F-F-F-F-F-FIRE! I love to burn everything I can in the game. It's quite powerful type. Psychic is my second signature type and Electric is the third.
     
    Grass... now shame there are no grass+flying Pokemon (none I've seen anyway) since I tend to use birds. Put you to sleep, leech seed you, poison, stun; the monsters themselves aren't often particularly strong but you can in a way just sit back and wait for your enemy to whittle away, plus they tend to have healing moves like Synthesis and XXXXdrain.
     
    Yea, how can you forget tropius and jumpluff?

    fire sadly has too many obvious weaknesses like the ever common earthquake and how water pokemon outnumber fire pokemon in the pokedex overall.

    I still manage to make it sucessfull through a number of tricks like will-o-wisping and putting a grass sunny day/solar beamer into the team aswell as a poison pokemon that can use flamethrower.

    Click to expand...
    Jumpluff... I dunno actually.
    Tropius, I don't like it much and barely ever see it. I've only ever seen one trainer with one... :/

    Still, neither of them are birdlike.
     
    Fire,Dark,Poison,and Psychic for me.

    Seviper,Ekans,Arbok,Umbreon,Houndoom,any of those.
     
    Tied between Dark and Ghost for me (...so obvious >.> ) at first I was more of a Water user but after 3rd gen. I dunno..everything shifted for me xD (maybe because it was the first time i didn't use water as a starter?) though lately i've been leaning more towards Ghost...
     
    I would have to say Psychic.
    I'm very fond of all the psychic type Pokemon. They are very fun to use~
    I already have a mono-type team I'm working on.. currently consisting of Metagross, Espeon and Girafarig.

    Before you say anything, Girafarig is fun for Baton Passing. It's not totally useless. D':
    I'm liking the idea of using Jumpluff and Roserade together more and more though lately..
    Maybe I'll give Grass a try sometime. :D

    How about normal types? :) They're, imo, the most diverse of any type, seeing that they can learn a ton of TMs, even though it's weird seeing a Furret with Flamethrower, Zigzagoon with Surf, and Persian with Shadow Ball. Oh, and let's not forget that normal types include the ~fabulous~ Smeargle. ;) But I can find a way to work with any type, really. I love diversity among teams and movesets.
     
    Dragons... you can't go wrong with them!
