In case anyone doesn't know, the reason why Fairy types are weak to Steel is because in Old English Folklore, fairies were vulnerable to iron

[@TraXXXtar]

no the reason for "why" is because it does 0.5x damage to steel types as is programmed in each game. na but seriously not all type matchups have a theme or a story behind the effectiveness. steel resists more than half of all the types, and thats mainly just because its the most solid dense "material" to many other type attacks. but yeah its nice that theres a theme/story there but not all matchups have one cos theres too many to really go into

[@thomaswillard6267]

​@@TraXXXtargood grief, you took twice as long as the comment to say 'not at matchups have a theme' when this is one that clearly has an old inspiration. Just like Fairy is strong against Dragon because Fairytales teach us Dragons can be beaten. Kalos is even based off Western Europe (Paris specifically) and does a bunch of other stuff with fairies and fairytales and spooky shit. Like dude if you're gonna pick a hill to die one, at least have a hill first.

[@TraXXXtar]

@@thomaswillard6267 yeeeeeah i started rambling but i wanted to point out that the fairy into steel thing feels a bit too forced and although the other steel defense weaknesses (fire,fighting etc) arent good explanations for why steel is bad in defense against them, i wanted to mention that steel just being solid enough against these other types including fairy is better than an obscure reference about fairy vs steel/iron. if we rely too much on thematics, the type balance would be even worse. theres always gonna be good and bad types but its better to close the gaps as much as possible rather than enforce any obscure thematics including fairytales saying dragons can be beaten or whatever. that one doesnt make sense and the better explanation is just, fairy was made to make dragons weaker, therefore its better to put it in your head that fairy pokemon have stronger magical powers than dragon pokemon attacks and powers. the kalos stuff you mentioned is also kinda rambly too tbh and ive rambled too much here aswell now so imma stop.........quickly doe last thing, i just think the way i explain "my" mindset of looking at type matchups is better than just looking for forced thematics or just staying upset about how certain matchups are in that world and hating all of pokemon for it aight im done

[@harrycarter7683]

Let's not forget that most pseudo legendary pokemon are also dragon types

[@darkdragonmedeus705]

Ice may be one of the worst types of Pokemon, but Ice type moves are easily amongst the best types of moves; given it's consistent ultra effectiveness against pseudo legendary Pokemon. And both Ice and Rock are kind of the opposite of Steel in those regards. But yes, Steel and Dragon both being the two bests given their giant pool of resistances + Dialga is a combo of those two types. Water is the best of the original 3 for sure with Electric also deserving to be in the top 5. Psychic would have easily been number 1 a long time ago though.

Great video. Ashley...I think you just made alot of fans extremely happy, with Dragon-types ranked number one, myself included, so thank you. Dragons have always been my favorite types, even though I can't play the games anymore, due to poor vision. After that...Eeveeloutions. My favorite Pokemon are Sneasel/Weavile, Scyther/Scizor, Growlithe/Arcanine, Kangaskhan, Happiny/Chansey/blissey, Snorlax, Lapras(Gen I it gets SolarBeam via TM.), Gyarados, the Starters(All gens), Ampharos, Marill/Azumarill, Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee/Hitmontop, and so many more.

I don’t know man I think this was the one time these guys weren’t biased because steel at least got number 2 let’s go!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎉

[@perritoshido5845]

I don’t think so, some placements could be debated but for the most part the placements are pretty accurate, and the reasoning are also common arguments in the PKM community

[@kurthill9070]

CRITICAL HIT! IT'S NOT VERY EFFECTIVE!

[@ResurgentRaven]

​@@perritoshido5845I think it honestly really comes down to one issue, mainly that judging each type as a whole is really difficult and broad. Some types are better than others at doing what they do and you can rank them on so many levels. - The types themselves - The best pokemon under each type - The movepulls under each type - How often each type can be used as a splash typing (for instance, how often can you teach a move type to a pokemon of a different typing) These are all X factors that need to be considered.

[@Thelegendaryredlegend]

I feel like Fire Deserved more because of how it resists 2 of the BEST Types (Steel and Fairy) and being Super Effective to Steel and also having the 2nd Most resistances, Water is just too much, Literally and Figuratively

[@memestar1118]

Yeah no. Fire is great but it is weak to 2 of the most prevalent types being water and ground.

[@Thelegendaryredlegend]

@@memestar1118 But Fire is Effective against the Type that is Strong to Both Water and Ground

[@StaceyGardner]

Dark and Fire are in the top ten of this list and I'm happy.

[@arnoldjones2435]

Ice types (my favorite) are basically glass cannons but. Normal types should be higher, they can learn basically any type of move plus. Slaking is a BEAST!

[@ericlang7987]

Dragon is my absolute favorite type of Pokemon because I really love dragons. Plus, it’s a very popular type for legendaries, as well as pseudo-legendaries. I also like Fighting types because they have very unique fighting styles, and it’s a popular secondary type for starter Pokemon.

[@williamsummerson1204]

Great job on the video Ash. My favorites will always be Electric, Dragon, Psychic and Water.

[@jamiewalsh3349]

My thoughts on each type: Grass: Cool designs but the starters are the ones we all want. Fire: My favourite type. Water: They're everywhere that I swear I use at least one in every game. Also anything Grass types can handle Water can do better. Electric: 2nd only to Fire as my favourite. And a lot speedy Pokemon too. Normal: Don't underestimate this type. There are many strong Pokemon that are of this type. Snorlax and Slaking chief among them. And god himself Arceus. Flying: Basically a sub-type for the most part but a useful one though. Also got have a bird on the team even though we don't need to nowadays thanks to fast-travel. Bug: Gen V really made bugs stronger. I'm looking at you Volcarona. Poison: I hate this type but the stall strategies are effective. Rock: Uh never really used Rock types that much. Even I when do they're only temporary members. Psychic: Overrated. Strong but since Gen 2 Dragons now reign supreme. Ground: Good all-round type. Ice: Great offence. Terrible defensive type. Best used as a coverage type for Water types. Ghost: Ghost's weren't a counter to Psychic's Gen 1 don't let those NPC's lie to you. But since Gen 2 they actually do their job. I actually prefer them over Dark types. Fighting: So useful against the really sturdier Pokemon. Dragon: No explanation needed. Just dial back on the legendaries Game Freak. One generation with no Dragon type legendaries please! Dark: As mentioned earlier I like Ghosts more. Immunity to Psychic attacks is a plus though. Steel: Rock type but better. Fairy: The bane of Dragon's. If Black and White remakes happen use this type, there are a lot of dragons in Unova.

[@Bia_Lovegood]

Fairy type is my favorite 🩷 they're cute and strong! Best combination ever 😁

[@EllenPreb]

Well it was a brilliant video, the first I’ve seen in a long time but when are you gonna do more top 10 lists? I’d really like to see a top 10 water type Pokemon list or normal or fairy. Please do those lists again. Thank you

[@oliverorchard6774]

Bug is worse than ice imo as ice is a great offensive typing, not to mention the recent buff the ice type gained on the defensive side (even if ice has no resistances other than itself).

[@briansherrod1916]

Such a great video I absolutely love your explanation behind the order of all of these types!

[@joaquinfernandezaracil1703]

I found funny how the worst type (ice) is super efective against the best type (dragon).

[@donovan802]

Since Gen 5, Bug-Types have shown a much more substantial increase in usage. But still, Bug needs a a bigger buff, but what?

[@brandonhinkle968]

Bugs should resist and be offensively strong against Fairy type. Honestly, I think that's enough.

[@g-burtfred1106]

Grass was always my favourite, despite its drawbacks. If they can learn Rock moves, they can hit 4 out of 5 of its weaknesses. Ghost and Steel were also favourites of mine, while Fire being my next favourite starter type. If Fire types can learn Solar Beam, it can counter its weaknesses.

[@mikeybalboa7520]

Psychic should be in the top 3. Mewtwo’s still second strongest next to the creator itself.

[@sgtjohnson]

You’d think ice would resist water. What happens when you pour water on ice? It expands

That was awesome, love seeing the list 🤩, I’m surprised dragon was first 🐉🥰

[@joshuawinters7644]

12:02, Well Despite What The Anime Said, It Technically Wasn't Always That Way, It Wasn't Until Gen II That Ghost-type Moves Were Super Effective Against Psychic-types, In Fact Not Only Was The Opposite True, But Psychic-types Were Originally Immune To Ghost-type Moves, Although The Fact That Gastly, Haunter, And Gengar Are Part Poison-type, That Doesn't Really Change Much

[@Eldooradoo]

There was also an NPC in-game that said that Ghost was supereffective against Psychic, so it was probably just coded wrong. However gen 1 had the problem of only having 3 ghost type attacks: Confuse Ray, which is a status move, Night Shade, which is a set-damage move and Lick with only 30 base power so the Psychic types wouldn't suffer too much in gen 1 anyways

[@ben-neon19]

Let's just admit it, all Pokemon are cool. Also it's nice getting to see Pokemon in different ways, such as the animated series, or live action Ryan Reynolds one or the new series. I have grown up with and will always love Pokemon.

[@Impulse180isaboss]

I was just happy my fav type (steel) was number 2 I can live with that

[@megaman3001]

honestly if bug/steel wasnt double weak to fire it would be the best type combo... i mean 8 resistances and 1 immunity... if it wasnt for the fact that ember is basicly death to them they would dominate

[@DragonBreaker-cz5pu]

I for once think that Fire Types are legit top tier dude

[@dragonslayerdragonslayer]

Steel types also have a weakness to water as well if it's part ground or rock type otherwise just fighting ground and fire

[@fooddaily3609]

Ice is currently quite good. How old is this list? Because it's published 2 days ago.

[@_G50_]

One major problem with Electric Types isn't weakness, resistence, or effectiveness. It's the lack of movepools for a lot of them. It's probably the type overall that has the most amount of Pokemon that don't cover type matchups well.

Personally, I'm just glad Fairy wasn't number 1, really just cause I think it's a dumb typing, and that most of the Fairy type designs introduced were horrendous. Nowadays they've done better, but back in gen 6, most of the Fairy designs were hot garbage. Anyways, favorite typing is Steel, mainly for the opposite reasons. I mean, just look at the base designs for Steel types anyway, Magneton and Steelix are already top tier. But then we got Metagross and Skarmory, Aggron and Empoleon, and eventually Excadrill and Escavalier, plus Aegislash's whole line.

[@Volkaroar]

Generally agree with this list, though I would rank ground way higher than 11. It's a credibly and reliably offensive threat, and a staple for move slots in a lot of playthroughs, casually and competitively.

How wasn't normal last? They only have weaknesses and aren't super effective against anything.

[@greninjamariokartpokemonfan]

Normal only has one defensive weakness, and while it doesn't resist anything, it is immune to Ghost. Also, Normal is one of the less resisted types, as aside from Ghost being immune to it, only Rock and Steel resist Normal. Ice is far worse than Normal, as it only resists itself and is weak to four types. Rock and Grass are each weak to five types, and Bug and Grass are each resisted by seven types while only being super effective against three (in Bug's case, it's super effective against mediocre types, while with Grass, Water can better handle Ground and Rock, and Electric can better handle Water. Also, Ground, Fighting, and Steel can also better handle Rock). Not to mention Bug has the lowest fully evolved base stat total on average of all types.

[@supermariomaker1734]

I think snow teams are really good they make ice type Pokémon incredibly bulky and it helps them kill Pokémon quicker with the weather on the field. I do not think that ice types suck is really the truth anymore and we have gen 9 to thank for giving them buffs.

[@darkdragonmedeus705]

Let's be real, Ice should probably be resistant to normal type attacks in the next type rebalance. It falls into the "Hardened objects" category much like rock and steel albeit to a lesser extent. Though if frozen gold enough, it is possible for Ice to be sharper and harder than various metals including rock or steel. Though sharper/harder doesn't mean tougher and they're all weak to fighting types for similar reasons. Ground and Ice should also be super effective against each other realistically speaking since Earth tremors break ice similar to why it breaks ice or steel. Ice also realistically should be super effective against bug. Sure some of these might be going overboard with Ice having too many weaknesses and effective against too many types. As well as Bug already having too many weaknesses with Ground being effective against too much. Perhaps we could have another type or two that helps with those balances; I also thought Fairy should have been super effective against both dark and ghost and not just dark.
