I decided to try my hand into a typing rating. I think I've already nailed the required formulae, but I won't be as bold as saying that these are the final formulae until I have time to research this thing further.
First of all, we need to consider two facets to typing: its offensive nature and its defensive nature. Its offensive nature is due to the STAB bonus it offers, while its defensive nature is basically due to the type chart.
It should be noted that the offensive nature of the typing of a Pokemon shouldn't note movepool at all. For example, just because we have a Fighting-type Pokemon does not mean that it will have Close Combat. Conversely, just because we have a Normal/Flying type Pokemon does not mean that it won't have Close Combat (see: Staraptor). Hence, as I like to repeat over and over again, the offensive nature of a Pokemon is affected the most by its movepool, and not by its typing or stats.
Without further ado, here's the Offensive Typing Rating (OTR) formula:
where Type1 and Type2 are the two types of the Pokemon whose number corresponds to the table below:
As you can see, the OTR's range is very small, from a minimum of around 1.0844 to a maximum of around 1.1304, which indicates that typing does not contribute much to the offensive nature of a Pokemon.
Now Defensive Typing Rating (DTR), which provides a number corresponding to how defensive the typing is:
where Type corresponds to the typing of the Pokemon whose number corresponds to the table below:
Interestingly, the most defensive typing is Ghost/Steel (hello Kitsunoh), while the least defensive typing is Ice/Rock, which is so far non-existent. However, STAB-wise, Ice/Rock provides the best OTR, while Ghost/Steel ranks very low...
If we incorporate also the fact that types like Ice and Rock tend to deal more damage than types like Poison and Normal, the above chart changes to:
We still see that Ghost/Steel is top-notch, but the worst defensive type now is Bug/Grass. Poor Parasect. Also notice how all the numbers have increased from the previous table.
For the above table, DTR is then found by:
Anyway, the plan is to multiply the Sweepiness by the OTR and the Tankiness by the DTR to obtain a Base Stats + Typing Rating in the future... :)

Without further ado, here's the Offensive Typing Rating (OTR) formula:
Code:
OTR = (72672 + Type1 + Type2) / 68680
where Type1 and Type2 are the two types of the Pokemon whose number corresponds to the table below:
Code:

DTR = 68 / Type
