Favorite Pokemon Type

[DownDiagonalLeftA]

Which type of Pokemon is your favorite? My vote goes to water. It's only weak to electric and grass, which aren't very common attack types anyway. Most water types pack some type of ice move to handle grass types as well. Water Pokemon also range in uses, from the physical threat Gyarados, the bulky vaporeon, or the speedy special attacker Starmie. They also benefit greatly from rain.

Water attacks take care of rock, ground, and fire types, while the ice attacks they usually pack can take care of dragons, flyers, and grass types.

Not to mention the STAB moves they have are all useful. Surf does a good amount of damage, Hydro Pump can give you that extra punch when you need it, Waterfall can net you some flinch hacks, and Scald can make a physical threat damn near useless.

...So what's your favorite type?

Psychic.

Mewtwo, Mew, Guardevoir, Espeon.

Psychic is simply the type I think of when I think about cool Pokémon.

I don't know why Grass is not common as attack type. Drought teams are common and Drought teams have Plant Pokémon. Chlorophyll Venusaur with Solar Beam or Giga Drain or Ninetales, the Fire type Drought Pokémon with Solar Beam are Over Used. Like Rain teams.

I've always loved Dark types, because their so mysterious... I mean look. AWESOME LOOKING.

DRAGON TYPES GRRRRRR

Are dragon attacks even super effective against anything

Dragons are strong in general but only super effective against other Dragons. Except you mean dragons learn many different type moves.

Only Dragon types.

I like Grass, Ice and Psychic. One of those three.

I suppose it'd be water first, then ground second since many of my favourites fall under those two types: Blastoise, Nidoking, Dewgon, Politoed, Lanturn, Tyranitar (it's ground type before evolution), Milotic, Flygon, Floatzel, Samurott, Seismitoad, and Krookodile.

But Dragons are awesome because they can learn such a variety of moves! some can be Dragon/Water, some Dragon/Fire or Dragon/Fighting!

They're so strong and versatile AND they look amazing.

Huh. Apparently there are no dragon/fighting types actually... but still! THEY'RE AWESOME.

Dragons are pretty awesome, I'm just not too fond of the 4x weakness to ice most of them share. I like Latias and Latios though. I like to nickname my Latias "Redwings" because of FF4.

Been ages since I played a pokémon game, but if I'd start another game I'd make my party consist solely of ghosts and bugs for freak factor purposes.

[Quindiana Jones]

Bug type moves have to be my favourite. Hah da da da da, just walking along, laughing at all the weak Bug pokemon with their weak moves, and then BAM. You been Megahorned. There are a load of different Bug type moves that just come out of nowhere and destroy.

Also, my Rapidash in Platinum had Meghorn, and it was obscenely useful. I base my party around what moves can be learned, and I always make sure to have at least two different Pokemon with Bug moves.

In terms of Pokemon type, as opposed to move, Water is a sound choice, and difficult to beat. But Fire will always have a special place in my heart. Most Fire types look really cool or cute or badass, except Ninetales which is all of them. Sunny Day is shockingly useful, as not only does it power up fire types, it also reduces Solarbeam to a one-shot move. If I have a Special Attack Fire Pokemon in my team, there's a good chance they'll be built around Sunny Day. It has another benefit, I swear, but I can't remember it off the top of my head...
