Choice 1. Steel
Choice 2. Electric
There are no naturally speedy steel types. At all. Maybe this could be made into something fun like a naturally speedy sweeper with a large movepool or something...
And electric needs a true special wall... I mean come on, they don't even have a special weakness! It could also possibly curb the Togekissian aggression against the pokemon of the CaPeorgia.

1. Rock
2. Electric
A Rock special sweeper would be great, as would an Electric-type wall.

1. Ground
2. Dark
I would like to see an elegant, special ground type, rather than some big ugly mother stat.
As for dark, a bulky dark type would be good, as they are usually speedy, or attack based 'mons, so that would certainly break the mold!

1. Steel
Steel's fastest pokemon is Jirachi, at 100. We can go faster than that... its a clear stereotype, very high def, good SpD, ok Atk mostly low HP/SpA/Spe
2. Rock
Another clear Stereotype. POWER GEM SWEEP.
Obviously not both....

1) Electric
2) Rock
Fidgit made me realize that Electric is a great defensive type with only one weakness. A defensive electric really breaks the mold. The most defensive one we have is Zapdos, But I don't count him because he's got the typical huge Special Attack and speed. I'm not saying this should be physical (because most physical electric moves suck) but it shouldn't be another base 100+ SpAtk electric.
Rock is another one that I'd like to see in reverse. Fast and possibly Special based. Rock is a great attacking type as it, but most STAB rock users are to slow to use it effectively in my opinion.
NOTE: I'm assuming that there will be a second poll for the second type. I'm not suggesting an electric/rock pokemon. I'm suggesting either a Rock or Electric pokemon.

1. Fire
2. Rock
There arent any good fire walls, so we could use one like that, or a rock special, speedy sweeper. That would be fun

Choice 1: Electric
Electric types are known for their:
1. High speed
2. Strong special attack
3. Low defense and attack
4. Mediocre HP
The non-stereotypical view of an Electric type would be a Pokemon with low speed, low special attack but with high defense, attack, and HP. Before anyone says anything, Magnezone doesn't count towards this since it's Part Steel and Steel types are known for their defenses and slowness.
Choice 2: Rock
Rock type Stereotypes ares:
1. High attack and defense
2. Decently high hp
2. Low special attack/defense and speed.
The reversal of this would be a speedy Pokemon with strong special attack and sp. defense while having mediocre attack, defense, and hp. A Rock type special sweeper would be something new and interesting to have.

Choice one:Rock
Choice two:Steel
I'd like to see either of them used effectively on the special side. Not to mention speedy too.

Bold your votes like everyone else is.
1.Steel: Needs to be faster
2.Dragon: Needs to be bulkier
Would be awesome if they were together

1. Electric I'd like to see a defensive/slow electric.
2. Rock Or a special sweeping rock

Choice 1: Electric
Choice 2: Rock
I think the idea of a quick, sweeping rock type would be interesting, rock STAB is quite a good attacking one with all the flying types. An electric that's slow and bulky gets my top vote just because electric is a great type and there's nly stuff like Jolteon that can't take a hit.

I think I mentioned it before but a REAL defensive dragon would be pretty awesome as well.
Dragon
Steel
I want a defensive dragon, or maybe a special attacking dragon.
For steel, I guess maybe a faster one.
That would be amazing if it could use Magnet Rise well.

A special defensive dragon. DragonBliss FTW!!

Choice 1: Fire
Choice 2: Dragon
A REAL Special oriented dragon would be nice. Fire just adds on to the special side, and don't dragons breathe fire?
