Did you know that there are a handful of type combinations that are OBJECTIVELY better than other type combinations? As in:># and severity of weaknesses is equal or lowerand/or># and magnitude of resistances/immunities is equal or greaterwith absolutely NO downsides.>Flying/Electric vs mono-FlyingFlying is weak to Rock, Electric, and Ice. Electric is only weak to Ground, which Flying is immune to, but resists Electric, Flying and Steel. Meaning it's JUST mono-Flying with a neutrality instead of weakness to Electric and an extra resistance to Steel and Flying.>Normal/Ghost vs mono-GhostMight be surprising to some of you, but since Ghost is only weak to Ghost and Dark, and Normal is immune to Ghost with only a weakness to Fighting (which Ghost is immune to) it makes Ghost/Normal just Ghost but with an immunity to Ghost-type moves and no drawbacks.>Dark/Ghost vs Dark/PsychicThe only one I could find that was two dual types; As everyone knows, Dark/Ghost is neutral, resistant, or immune to everything except Fairy-type moves. Dark/Psychic is neutral to EVERYTHING except for Psychic (immune, just like Dark/Ghost), Fairy (same weakness as Dark/Ghost), and Bug (which Dark/Ghost is immune to, as opposed to this 4x weakness!) so Dark/Ghost is LITERALLY just Dark/Psychic but swapping its 4x bug weakness for a resistance to Poison and an immunity to Fighting and Normal.Are there any other ones you can find? It's sometimes difficult to tell, because a resistance being made less prominent (from 4x resist to 2x resist) would easily go under the radar, as an example. Thoughts?

>>58537851Yep, I did know that. I hope you used ai to type this, cuz it’s like surface level knowledge and you typed all that shit that no one’s gonna read.
Flying/Electric gets hit by supereffective Ground when Roosting.Dark/Ghost and Normal/Ghost are hit by super-effective Fighting moves on a pokemon with Scrappy.
>>58538159I mean, everything's weak to Electric and Grass when hit by Soak, too. Doesn't really seem that relevant tbqh.
>>58537851a bunch of types are like this, electric is just better poison, ground is just better rock, etc
electric/steeldragon/steel
>>58539451>>58539460are you illiterate lol
The next best contender is Bug/Steel. It has exactly one weakness, Fire, which deals 4x damage to it. It resists eight types, and is immune to Poison.
>>58539483I love Escavalier, my favorite bug.
>>58539483It's very very close to being objectively better than grass/steel but grass/steel resists Rock, Water, and Electric which Bug/Steel doesn't resist. So not quite, sadly.
>>58537851i don't think there's more than those 3 examples. unless there's some weird combo of types that's not intuitive at all. you reallt gotta rely on type immunities and those are more or less all covered already and dragon won't work cus if you add dragon to fairy you gain weakness to ice and fairy and if you add fairy to dragon you gain a weakness to poison and steel. maybe fairy is better than some random other type combo weak to steel and poison who knows. but fairy/steel gets weaknesss to fire and ground so its not it
