Top 6 Best and Worst Unique Typings in Pokémon

[@emperorcubone]

For everyone asking, "Why not this person?" Here is a list of every unique typing currently in the games, and if you keep scrolling it will even show pairings that used to be unique that are no longer such Dark/Ghost, etc... bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pokémon_with_unique_type_combinations

Having a higher base speed would ruin it. It'd be better if it had lower speed and more HP.

[@thenorfnonly3486]

Thomas, Aegislash’s main Steel-type attack is Gyro Ball. Something that takes advantage of its low speed. If anything, it should be SLOWER, and have the extra stats go into HP.

One of the strongest typing in the game is Dark + Ghost. Only two pokemons have that typing, Sableye and Spiritomb and they had to make sure those pokemons sucked because the typing is ridiculous. 3 immunities, one resistance and one weakness. Just imagine if they created a pseudo legendary that's Dark + Ghost with Levitate as an ability.

[@Mastrmyrtr9]

Before gen 7, it had no weaknesses

[@stealthyshadow567]

Mega Sableye is super good

[@sonicthehedge]

Henrik Swanström was no weakness before fairy was introduced. But tbh it has almost no resists so an STAB outrage, Brave bird, or anything high power can easily knock them down. not to mention Dark and Ghost type are the same thing offensively They both are super effective against Ghost and Psychic Type both are resisted by Dark (and Steel before gen 6). the only difference is normal is immune to Ghost and Fighting resists Dark. Not really a good dual type since it provides almost no resists and offensively the dual types do almost the same exact thing so no real coverage.

I've got a funny story about Abomasnow. So, I had been out of pokemon for a while, had stopped playing after Emerald/FireRed. I got Diamond, but I both lacked time for it and it was slow enough I lost interest. Fast forward to X/Y and I was playing through it, having a good enough time. First time through the snowy area where Abomasnow hangs out and I find a shiny one. Now, I didn't really have any low-level pokemon in my party at the time, and I also didn't really know all that much about the pokemon's typing (because again, I wasn't trying to catch anything). So, I go, "Alright, who's weakest? Uh... my Talonflame should do." It had Fly on it, this was an evolved Abomasnow, and I was thinking that it was a pure ice type. So I hit Fly. Then, as the animation is running for it to go up I remember Abomasnow's other type: grass. I literally can do nothing but watch with hands over my mouth as I murder this shiny Abomasnow.

Dude. Dude. THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING how Empoleon isn’t worse just because the other starts happen to have their weaknesses. That doesn’t make them better just because one can beat the other.

[@stevenleonmusic]

All 3 of them can OHKO each other under the right circumstances so it comes down to speed. I would argue Torterra is the worst because it has the lowest speed. Torterra can OHKO the other 2 with Earthquake if it doesn't get OHKO'd by Empoleon's Ice Beam or a Special attack by Infernape (it can usually tank a physical hit). Infernape can use Fire/Fighting to OHKO the other 2 as long as it takes advantage of the right stat (Special Attack for Torterra, Physical for Empoleon). Empoleon can OHKO the other 2 with STAB Water or Ice Beam. So really it's all about speed. Infernape is the best on paper but Torterra has Rock Polish and Empoleon is effective with Choice Scarf-all 3 of them are pretty good.

[@Payneylp]

Steven Cooper i have to disagree with torterra being the worst of the three as defensive torterra can both survive a special attack and a physical attack from Infernape if it gets a good roll on pure Defense max health 4 spd torterra infernapes fire blast only does 87-104% of torterras health and that’s not counting the accuracy check of fire blast and if torterra goes special defensive then you can’t even OHKO it with fire blast it’s the same with Attack infernape so id argue that torterra is better than infernape as even defensive torterra Guarantees an OHKO vs offensive Infernape

[@Showsni]

Back in Gen 5, I had a silly gimmick team - Trick Room Hail, with Cleffa, Clefairy and Clefable. And mixed Life Orb Abomasnow was a beast. Sure, he couldn't switch in to much (sometimes I'd Explode my Bronzong to get him in), but with Blizzard, Wood Hammer, Earthquake and Ice Shard he smashed almost everything for serious damage. Being the gen that was all about weather wars meant there were a lot of opposing Politoeds, and by outslowing it Abomasnow could get the hail up and then destroy it with Wood Hammer, whilst Earthquake did a number on Ninetales if Trick Room was up. That's not to say it's good in general, of course, but mixed attacker Trick Room Abomasnow is certainly something I have a soft spot for.

But that is the salvation to... every bad Pokémon typing. Then make Crabominable fast. Then make Parasect fast. Then make Abomasnow fast.

[@andresmarrero8666]

[@12jswilson]

@@masterblaster2678 Parasect would be bad even if it had base 150 speed as all it can do is spore something. Speed matters more for offensive type combinations like Crabominable. If Crab had base 105 speed with worse defenses, it would probably be UU or better. Look at Weavile. It has among the worst defensive typing in the game with a very mediocre ability, but it's still a very threatening mon because of its excellent offensive typing and is used in OU as a result.

[@deeznoots6241]

Theoretically the way to use Magcargo is to do sunny day, switch to Magcargo, use rock polish, then solar beam the lured water/ground Pokemon. The sunny day, speeds up solar beam, boosts fire moves(which Magcargo shrugs off easily thanks to quad resist and then utilises for its own fire stab), and weakens water moves(which means Magcargo can resist a water priority move) So if you use a grass type and set up sunny day, the opponent might try and throw in a fire type to make use of the sunny day boost for its own STAB, which will potentially leave the fire type screwed against Magcargo which can easily switch on a fire attack But yeah considering the tons of Pokemon carrying water/ground attacks and the fast ground types with neutrality to grass(Garchomp specifically) plus the multiple turns of setup that you might be giving an opponent it’s purely a gimmick
