Type Combos You Wish Existed (Hope Exist Later)

A ground/ice better than mamoswine.

A grass/dragon.. there aren't any more combinations with dragon in it that is 4x weak to ice. Grass needs moar good pokemon that aren't breloom or celebi.

Steel/ghost w/ levitate and better stats than bronzong. Hera counter and has some nice immunities
 
wth it'd be double weak to ice and electric

Actually, I'm pretty sure the game already reads a pure type pokemon as having the same typing twice. So unless GameFreak starts a policy where a pure-typed pokemon counts its weaknesses and resistances twice that wouldn't happen.
 
fire/dragon with levitate. eg:

shaharidon @ life orb
naughty
212 attack, 252 speed, 44 s.atk
- dragon claw
- fire fang
- hidden power [grass]
- swords dance

has 2 weaknesses to my knowledge.. i really want a 600 total like this in the next gen.
 
Why not a pure flying? We have everything other than pure flying (I remember how the Gfaqs boards had a rave thinking Chatot was going to be flying, then... well, let's just say we were disappointed at the flying/normal) and flying/fighting.

Take of the Sky Plate + Arceus factor.

But, yeah, bug and electric would be nice. Same for grass/fire.
 
Ice / Dragon. I just think the look would be neat. Nothing particularly great about the typing aside from losing ice and fire weakness. I notice how a lot of these recommendations and dragon type too, hrmm? Heh.
 
Flying / Fighting actually does sound like a really awesome type competitevly. It resists Bug / Dark / Fighting, immune to Ground and neutral to Rock, making it an almost perfect Heracross counter, and a pretty good switch in to physical attacks in general since it resists almost all of the most popular physical types in the game. It also has a great double STAB resisted by only Zapdos and Rotom, which grants it great coverage.

And even better it could be a Farfetch'd evolution, finally turning Farfetch'd from a joke pokemon to awsome
 
Electric/Ground and Steel/Grass:: Why, they would just be a very cool looking Pokemon and hopefully Competitive as well.
 
fire/dragon with levitate. eg:

shaharidon @ life orb
naughty
212 attack, 252 speed, 44 s.atk
- dragon claw
- fire fang
- hidden power [grass]
- swords dance

has 2 weaknesses to my knowledge.. i really want a 600 total like this in the next gen.

There's already way too many Pokemon, IMO. xD

Anyways, the dragon/dark would be badass.

It dies to almost everything in OU, but come on. We need awesome-looking novelties. x) Most of the ones that already exist look shitty.
 
I don't know why people think fire/grass could even work. I want a special based Ice/Electric though, STABed boltbeam would be a awsome thing.
 
Poison/Dragon evo of Arbok

HP: 100
Atk: 110
Def: 90
Spd: 90
SAtk: 70
SDef: 95

Infernape/Hera counter imo
 
Why not a pure flying?

What would happen when it used Roost? Completely typeless. Of course, they could solve that problem by not giving it Roost, but...


A flying/fighting would be amazing, though. Resists Fighting and Bug without being weak to Rock, and has an awesome offensive STAB combonation.

I'm actually kinda surprised we haven't seen some sort of Bug/Electric firefly pokemon. Ghost/Steel with Levitate would be an amazing defensive combo.
 
Poison only sucks as an attacking type. It works pretty well as a defensive type

Poison/Dragon
Weaknesses: Ice, Dragon, Psychic, Ground
Resistances: Fighting, Bug, Poison, Electric, Water, Grass (4x), Fire
 
Dragon/Fighting FTW! Only resisted by some sort of Ghost/Steel.


Ghost/Normal would also be awesome typing for a physical wall.
 
Steel/ghost w/ levitate and better stats than bronzong. Hera counter and has some nice immunities


QFT. Before I even came to this thread, I was thinking how nice a Steel/Ghost with Levitate would be. Even without Levitate, a Steel/Ghost would force Hera to run Quake over Stone Edge/Pursuit, both really important moves to it.
 
Fighting/Dragon
90/135/90/80/90/115
Notable Moves: Dragon Dance, Close Combat, Dragon Claw, Outrage, Stone Edge...
Fighting/Dragon is actually a very good attacking combination that only Shedinja resists.

Infernape/Hera counter imo

That would be sinister cool!!

A ground/ice better than mamoswine.

A grass/dragon.. there aren't any more combinations with dragon in it that is 4x weak to ice. Grass needs moar good pokemon that aren't breloom or celebi.

Steel/ghost w/ levitate and better stats than bronzong. Hera counter and has some nice immunities

But I like Mamo:(

Fighting/Dragon
90/135/90/80/90/115
Notable Moves: Dragon Dance, Close Combat, Dragon Claw, Outrage, Stone Edge...
Fighting/Dragon is actually a very good attacking combination that only Shedinja resists.

That is absolutely sick!! But DD is too much and would be uberish and old.
why does everyone want pure flying, nothing really cool about that.
I would want a Robot Dragon.....Steel/Dragon besides Dialga
Ice/Fire would be cool
 
I don't think Dragon Dance would be too powerful, Cresselia (who's marginally more defensive than Defense Deoxys courtesy of actually having hp) could still take attacks from it. Heck, the damn thing isn't OHKO'd by a 3 Swords Dance Dragon Claw from Garchomp >.<

On that note, sorta, I think an Ice/Psychic would be a neat pokemon. Could be like a cyromancer and could go alongside a pyromancer pokemon. Maybe a split evolution from a psychic pokemon, or part of a legendary trio with an Electric/Psychic. That came to mind cause I think there's a need for better Ice pokemon. How many STAB Ice Beams do you see flying in OU (not including BL pokemon, poor Arty...it'd be a great tank if its typing was better). Can't think of any off the top of my head. They're all Ice Punch or Ice Shard (Weavile).
 
About the Steel/Ghost pokémon, I always thought about it as the ultimate physical wall, in some ways a Blissey mirror. Something like this:

Steel/Ghost
150/30/150/100/65/30
Ability: Synchronize

Can learn Recover, Shadow Ball, Will O Wisp, among others.

525 totals, with slightly inferior physical defensive capabilities compared to Blissey's special defensive ones, but better offense (and special from a physical wall) and takes special hits better than Blissey takes physical ones. The typing helps it with its many resistances and immunities, but also leaves two weaknesses to exploit. However, only very strong and stabbed physical attacks exploiting a weakness can OHKO it. It's vulnerable to statuses, but has Synchronize to fuck the statuser also, which i something I think fits a ghost.
