Fire/Poison

Because it is the least obvious on where to take it, and the concept is fine with it not being the absolute worst. And saying Ice/Rock isnt the easiest, the typing is pretty terrible defensively therefor the easiest way to fix it would be to give it a good amount of speed and attack, solid rock as an ability, and make it a revenge killer or hit and run attacker. Fire/Poison is less obvious on where to take it.

Fire/Poison

Ice/Steel is hardly a "stereotypically bad" typing. Ice/Rock, on the other hand, lacks any saving grace outside of great offensive presence, and will have a tough time distinguishing itself from the already solid Mamoswine. Fire/Poison at least offers some unique rolls, such as immunities to Will-O-Wisp and Toxic. There are unique roles we can give this sort of Pokemon that make it good by playing to the strengths of its poor typing, rather than in spite of it.
