Invent a New Pokemon Type Combination

[blazkien2222]

I came up with the greatest type combination which would be dragon/steel but if it had liability it would have only one weakness but if they did put that on the game i would put him on the team.

I came up with the greatest type combination which would be dragon/steel but if it had liability it would have only one weakness but if they did put that on the game i would put him on the team.it actually has 2 weaknesses, ground and fighting, i like sableyes type combination, serious, it owns, no weaknesses, 3 immunities, if he had good stats, he would be broken

[scizandor04]

I have 3, but they also include attacks and abilities :P

normal/ghost, having explosion, amazing attack, and so-so speed (so things like metagross could outrun it to explode first

water/electric with surf, thunder, and swift swim to use on rain dance team (or pair with kyogre for 2 on 2) (okay, lanturn has the types, but his SpAtt could be higher, and he don't have swift swim :P )

fire/grass with solarbeam, flamethrower, and chlorophyll, on a sunny day team (should not be used with groudon beacause earthquake hits it, :P if he could have levitate too, it would be awesome :P)

yes, I like weather :P

Steel is an awesome type, it's pretty sound as far as physical defense goes, except it's weak to Ground and Fighting. But it provides Rock resistance. It also resists Ice on the special end, and is only weak to Fire there. It gets immunity to poison and resistance to flying and normal, plus resists Megahorn.

Flying is a pretty good type, aside from being weak to rock. It resists Fighting and has ground immunity. On the special end, it's only weak to ice and electricity. Plus it resists Megahorn.

What would be really amazing is if you could combine these two types. That would give you weaknesses to Fire and Electric only, immunity to poison and ground, resistance to bug, normal, and flying...oh, man, and if you had even moderately high defense with that typing, can you imagine how unbelievably broken that would be? High defense, tonnes of physical resistances and two immunities, plus no physical weaknesses...

Something like that would change the metagame. I mean, it would suck if the only reason a certain steel-electric hybrid were used was because of that one pokemon, wouldn't it? Man, I could just see people doing stuff like putting Fire Blast on Gyarados and Salamence just to counter it. What would be even WORSE is if that steel-flying pokemon had a move like Spikes, so that it could punish you for time lost. That would be so evil, cheap, and unbelievably broken.

Good thing gamefreak never put anything like that in the game.

Especially not with amazing Defense. That sort of Pokemon would make some sort of a metagamebreaking wall that would own any physical sweepers.

And what would make it worse is if it got phazing potential...

I'm really glad there's nothing like that in the game.

The that you guys are talking about really does exist, just spell yromraks backwards.


A Psychic/Dark type would be nice, although I guess it would have a quadruple weakness to bug type attacks. :confused:

[Kuiper]

On a serious note, Aeroactyl with Ground over Rock typing would be nice, not only because of the STAB EQ but also immunity to Thunder Wave. Except then you get royally screwed by (Blissey's) Ice Beam. Also it'd be nice if its trait was something that could give you Intimidate immunity or maybe give you an edge once Tyranitar had entered the field. If it got Swords Dance that'd be cool too, even it it did have slightly lower stats than the currently Aerodactyl. Maybe give it Quick Attack or something so it could be a Flygon-like Choice Bander.

[InterFed_OV]

Yeah, talking about Skarmory and Gligar as if they don't exist is sooo funny. [/sarcasm]

Fallen Ronin hates Skarmory with a passion. You should've read his massive rant on the subject a few months ago. But I agree, Skarmory is broken.

A type combo that would be really nice is Fire/Dragon. Weak to Dragon, Ground, and Rock. Resistant to Fire, Grass, Bug, and Electric. It would learn moves like Dragon Claw, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Solarbeam, Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, Earthquake, Extremespeed, Rock Slide, Crunch, Will-O-Wisp, Brick Break, Swords Dance, Calm Mind, Overheat, Sunny Day, Recover, Protect, Substitute, Hidden Power, Steel Wing, Iron Tail, Toxic, Fire Spin, Cosmic Power, and Dragon Dance. He would have excellent attacks and speed, good HP, average defenses, and either Levitate or Intimidate. He could be a CBer, special/physical sweeper, or a defensive tank. His stats would be along the lines of those of Salamence and Metagross.

[wobmaster]

IMO the best defensive typing would be Dark/Ghost with Levitate, Thick Fat, or Water Absorb. But this Pokemon would ideally have good defensive stats, unlike Sableye. Sablyeye may be no weak and Recover, but it really needs some good stats.

[RareHunterX]

Psychic/Dark would be good- its not like the x4 weakeness to Bug actually matters- since Most Bug atks pretty much OHKO Psychic types.

Dragon/Steel would Most likely have Levitate- Kinda like Flygon/Lati@s.

Ghost/Normal would be pretty awesome imo.
STAB on SB/Return would be nice.

Thanks to Skill Swap in double battles, we can have Levitating Electric types. (Not that they're all that feasible, given the shoddy defense of most electric types; Imprisoning Earthquake is much more practical.)


You pokemon guys are way more funny than the Yugioh pplz.
Pojo used to be really great. I mean, yeah, the EZ board was awesome back in the days when it was just Magic and Pokemon. But even back a year ago, we had awesome threads...

[16:13] Ronin: Yes.
[16:13] Ronin: Try and prove otherwise.
[16:14] PhazonElite: Uh, it's ok, I guess.
[16:15] PhazonElite: I mean, the Splash jokes weren't even that funny.
[16:15] Ronin: o rly
[16:15] PhazonElite: You should bump that thread.
[16:16] Ronin: no u
[16:18] PhazonElite: No, you.
[16:18] Ronin: It was your idea.
[16:19] PhazonElite: **** my ideas.

Yeah. Good times.

I disagree. I think that this (http://www.pojo.biz/board/showthread.php?t=405) is one of the best threads ever.

To provide some background to those who weren't around in the very early days os the vB board, the time got messed up, and thus you find some extremely disoriented threads. On this one, the original post is third on the list, and several posts in this thread don't seem to relate to the content.

Thanks for the nice complement. But if the creators of POKEFREAK ever did a pokemon wgho is a fire/water type then it would be unusual on the fact that fires greatest enermy is water.

[RedEyes Black Dragon]

Electric/Dragon and Grass/Dragon would be nice.

Electric/Dragon: It would have Levitate, so it loses 1 weakness and have high Special Defense to make up for the Dragon Weakness. It could evolve from Raichu, I guess. Natural high speed from Electric type.

Grass/Dragon: It would not really need Levitate, but it has Thick Fat. High SA and Middle other stats, but high HP count. Evolves from Victrebell, I guess.

[SuperRyoko2k3]

well i woul think ghost/dragon

[Kuiper]

thread hijack attempt: unsuccessful

[InterFed_OV]

Umm, okay... Is that good or bad?

Meh, w/e. Back on topic, another Type combo I would like to see is Dark/Dragon. Weak to Bug, Fighting, Ice, Dragon; resistant to Grass, Fire, Water, Electric, Ghost, Dark; immune to Psychic. Would learn attacks like Recover, Crunch, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, Shadow Ball, etc., etc. Would have decent HP and Attacks, average Defenses and Speed, and either Pressure or Levitate. Could be a Spec/Phys/Mixed sweeper or a CBer.
