They can be dual-typed, but at least one of those has to match the type you choose. What type are you choosing, and what’s your team look like?
I would have to choose Bug-type, of course. Team composition would be Galvantula, Yanmega, Heracross, Centiskorch, Genesect, and Rabsca. As to why… I just like 'em, lol. I’m not much of a competitive player. What would your team/type be?
Hmmm, I’ll try a real challenge for me:
- Snorlax
- Raticate
- Pidgeot
- Oranguru
- Lickilicky
- Smeargle
Dark type. 100% just because I play by the rule of cool and my favourite Pokémon belong to that type. Not sure about the entire team, but Houndoom, Mightyena, and Umbreon would be there for sure.
I would go with fairy types. My team would be Sylveon, Tinkaton, Gardevoir, Galarian Rapidash and Flutter Mane.
My reason for the team is that I really like the design of them and I just like them overall. They can also receive and deal a huge amounts of damage. Sylveon have almost exclusively managed to carry me through the games.
I think I sticked to only using Fire type when I played one of the recent games, if only because a lot of my favorite pokemon (Ninetales, Arcanine, Houndoom, Salazzle) were that type.
Getting the TM for Flamethrower late in the game was a massive power spike. Type coverage isn’t really an issue as well, because of sunny day + solarbeam.
I used to do that, I really like the idea of a Pokémon game where the player is a gym leader
Steel type; Metagross, Agron, Empoleon, Bronzong, Magnezone, Skarmory
Hmm, it’s hard to pick a single type. I do love my steel types (channeling my inner Steven), but I also adore water types. Let’s just pick steel.
- Lucario is a super easy pick. He’s a beast and fan favorite.
- Metagross is one of my favorites ever since I first got one in Sapphire. Plus pseudolegendary, so he’s essential.
- I really love Aegislash. The design and typing are both fantastic.
- Tinkaton was a favourite in Violet and it’s design is so cool. It’s honestly not very strong, but I’d bring it along for fun.
- Violet’s brutal raids also made me fall in love with Kingambit. I only used him for raids, but damn was he cool.
- Because I also love water types, gotta have that Empoleon. It’s a classic design, anyway.
Possible replacements:
- Gholdengo could be swapped for Aegislash. Give me some more balance for physical vs special and his ability is top tier. I don’t care for his design though.
- Ground is my nemesis. I probably should have a flier or levitator. I’d probably opt for swapping tink with corviknight. I love the design of corviknight and the lore makes it a hilarious pick to swap.
