Concept: Defensive Weather Neutralizer
Description: I'm thinking of a Bulky pokemon that is quite sturdy with a nice base speed stat to really help with offensive threats. I think Cloud Nine / Air Lock is a must. For typing I was thinking a Bulky Water, but any type really can work. My description is pretty vague, but I think a good solid defensive pokemon with a bit of speed can really shift some usage away from the big threats.
The dragons still die from super effective hits easily. And no one uses those pokemon defensivley. Ever.
I've faced plenty of defensive Dragonite and Salamence on Shoddy, and they work quite well, actually, when used correctly.
Well I havn't. And what I'm saying is this pokemon would only be able to tank. That's the only thing it would be good in. People could use DDMence, DDNite, CBChomp. Not many people would think of using them defensivley. But the point with the Bulky Dragon is, it's only used to be a wall/tank towards the foe.
Okay, now you lost me. Which concept are you referring to? We may be talking about two seperate ones.

Concept: Ice-Resisting Dragon
Description: A Dragon typed Pokemon (the other type will have to be Ice, Water, Fire or Steel) that somehow resists Ice through its ability. Since there are already Water and Steel Dragons I suppose a Fire or Ice Dragon type would be most appropriate. Hopefully it would be somewhat defensive, and preferrably its higher attack stat would be Special Attack.
Hopefully this isn't too restrictiveI italicised the last line because it might not be necessary.
I'm refering to the Concept Submission I did on the Bulky Dragon. Raikou said that people use Salamence, Garchomp etc. as Bulky Dragons so there isn't a point in having one. And I'm saying not many people use those.
I was thinking of a Grass/Dragon with Thick Fat as for the defensive dragon. The other dragons aren't ment to be defensive. This one should be.
Dragon/Steel with Levitate is only weak to Fighting, making it a good defensive typing.
Even though I don't agree with the typing you suggested, I think there should be a purely defensive Dragon-type.
Then the Bulky Dragon could have Cloud Nine as a second ability as the other would be Thick Fat.

EDIT: Type combos and Typing ideas are NOT a Concept. Concepts should suggest a role the pokemon will play in the metagame. This thread is not for people to get an early jump on cool typing suggestions.
