>>28730565
No way, Ice/Rock and Grass/Ice are way worse defensively, and offensively the worse dual STAB is proabably Grass/Insect or something.

Normal/Ice is objectively the worst type combination.

>>28730695
I'm confused as to why Steel is also weak to Fighting. I figure it was because Gen II was balance mode engaged, and Fighting was almost useless in Gen I, so they made it destroy both of the new types, but... I can't really think of a good reason that would matter now.

>>28730659
Even with terrible type, mega abomasnow is tanky as fuck.

Typing is garbage, you have to baby it to keep it from dying to a mach punch and it doesn't even take advantage of it normally and requires egg moves to even get ice attacks worth a shit. High effort, low reward: the pokemon.

>>28730732
Fighting Pokemon like Machamp are so strong they can crush Steel.

>>28730659
They're both horrific. I'd say Aurorus is a bit worse though.

Let's have some fun

If triple types where a thing, what type combination would be the absolute worst and which one the absolute best?

I'd think

Grass/Rock/Ice for worst
Steel/Dragon/Fairy for best

>>28730688
>not getting the point.

Literally everything runs Fighting or Ground moves. It doesn't matter if you resist their STAB because they will just fuck your shit up with their coverage.
>>28730778
A sauropod with 123 base speed doesn't really work though, does it? I guess they should have just tried a different typing like Electric, or if they wanted to do something with Rock/Ice they should've used a different dinosaur that would actually fit as a glass cannon like an Ornithomimus.

>>28730565
one that has 17 weaknesses.

>>28730952
Rock and Ice are so bad, they drag down Steel. Who wants a 4x weakness to Fighting and Ground, or Fighting and Fire?

>>28730952
Steel might just be one of the best things that can be put on it. Ice alone has 4 weaknesses and only resists itself.

Though another anon suggested putting Poison on it. That'd give it 5 resistances and 5 weaknesses, with no 4x.

Ice may be shit defensively, but it's an amazing offensive type, but bug is worthless. Both are rock weak, but ground/fighting resistance doesn't do much considering nearly everything that has fighting/ground moves also has rock for coverage.

Guys, come on...

>hurr muh quad weaknesses
Any offensive Pokemon (because nonoffensive Rock types are garbage by definition) will get outright oneshotted by any STAB 2x attack and even some nonSTAB 2x ones when it's frail or attacker is really strong, so the only time quad weaknesses matter for them is when facing priority. So far we've got those in Fighting, Steel, Ghost, Water, Ice and Dark types (I don't count Accelrock because it's mon exclusive, nor abilities because they can go both ways).
Rock in general has a very short end of the stick because it's weak to half of those and doesn't resist the other three. Rock's second problem is its resist/weakness layout that has awful synergy with most other types. Either you're wasting Rock's own scarce resistances to get double resists (way less effective than two different resists) and therefore much more weaknesses than resistances, or you end up with something like Bug/Rock or Bug/Grass that have few weaknesses but almost no resistances (and are also disqualified for having bad offensive synergy). The best second type it can be coupled with to become as priority-proof as possible is with Water - Steel and Water weaknesses gone + Ice resistance added while already resisting Normal. Rock/Fighting has usable resistances + great offensive synergy. Rock/Flying is even better defensively, but needs some anti-Steel coverage. Everything else part-Rock is awful.
Then again Rock in general is awful because it has to rely on lol Stone Miss and lol 80BP Gem. Truly the second worst type.

>>28730886
Revenge killers don't need bulk. Weavile isn't meant to sweep a team or be a staller, it's supposed to quickly remove a threat or two and die.
If you don't understand the importance of something like that in singles I doubt you'll go far.
Do you even understand why Talonflame is so popular? Or it's just because it's a "Smogon favorite"?

>>28731598
How is the placement retarded? It's way cooler that way. Unique biology.

>>28731446
At lest with Ice you can do things like Kyurem and just have it be really powerful and spam ice beam.

Something like x/x/x/140/x/95/ can just slap a choice scarf or specs and start killing things.

Bug's most spammable move is Uturn. But Bug is weak to SR so it can't Uturn. You need a secondary typing that resists Rock like Scizor, Heracross, and Genesect or something that makes it so strong that it gets by despite the bug typing like M-Pinsir.

>>28730913
No, they just need to be fast.
Every fast rock type Pokemon is amazing except for Archeops, but with a decent ability its popularity would skyrocket.

Yeah, some typings like Rock/Ice are bad, but none of them have a synergy quite as awful as these two typings.

>>28731845
Power Gem has horrible distribution so tons of special attacking rock types can't even use it. You're either grasping desperately at Ancientpower or you're Diancie and you just hit things with Diamond Storm.

>>28730659
Nah, it only has a single 4x weakness, and has pretty decent STAB coverage against most moves that would hit it for SE.

>>28731845
Rock is bad because usually Steel does it's resistances and weaknesses better and Stone Miss is awful. When Rock's best move is support like SR and every other type gets it, you have issues. Rock desperately needs recovery to make it different from Steel.

>>28731930
It's an exaggeration. Like how Accel Rock will make a mon drop to PU even though only sundog has it that we know of so far.

Why not just make Rock an offensive typing instead? Pokemon like Terrakion, mega-Diancie and Aerodactyl are amazing for offense and support, and it's all because they're fast and have high attack.
All they need to do is stop making Rock types with less than 90 speed and maybe add some new special moves too.

>>28730593
such a shame, i like aurorus

>>28731850
Weavile is not a good choice for that job. You see, talonflame gets an ability that allows it to priority attack with high damage moves, weavile has no such thing and in fact no good priority moves. So, you're stuck with a pokemon that will get ONE move in and die, and the move is not even priority.

It's a shitmon people force into their teams because waifus, nothing more. And if you can't see how garbage it is, then you need to get out, sub1200 shitter.

>>28732049
Agreed. This kinda what I would I would suggest:

-Rock now looses it Ground weakness and gains a resistance to Electric and itself

-Ice now looses its Fighting or Rock weakness and now gains a resistance to Water, Normal and Flying. And now Hail, aside from boosting SpDef on Ice types it also now doesn't hurt Water and Fire types (we need diversity on Hail teams or in Double so that everything doesn't run Safety Goggles)

>>28730565
Ice/Bug sounds horrible in offense and defense.

>>28732021
Normal/Ground (Diggersby - dual STABs only walled by specific things)
Normal/Electric (Heliolisk - dual STABs only walled by specific things)
Normal/Fighting + Ghost/Dark coverage or Scrappy (M-Lopunny)
Normal/Ghost (nothing yet but the typing is absurdly good)
Normal/Water (only shitmons so far but see Diggersby and Heliolisk for how to make good mons of this type)

>>28732059
Making new pokemon doesn't fix old pokemon of the type. Unless you mean we should retroactively make all rock types fast? Because that makes some sense, since most rock types have pokedex entries about how they like to go fast by rolling or tunneling or whatever.

>>28732069
Except Weavile is better at actually removing threats thanks to Pursuit, and at crippling switch-ins with Knock Off.

>>28731930
Oh boy, you really don't get it do you? Talonflame could make the OU bugs drop in usage, maybe through BL and as low as UU. These formerly OU bugs (now UU) outclass the bugs that were already UU, and force those down, maybe through BL2 and into RU. Formerly UU bugs outclass formerly RU bugs which now drop to NU, etc.

I look at UU these days and ask myself "How the fuck is this thing only UU?" Then I remember what is running rampant in OU these days...

>>28732002
Dark/Normal having a 4x weakness isn't why it's awful. It's that it has a 4x weakness without having any significant advantages over a pure Dark type. Pure Dark is kind of an iffy typing even without Normal weighing it down (awful weaknesses, bad resistances, and only hits two fairly uncommon types for SE).

>>28732195
Tons of better pokemon for the job, and due to all the weaknesses, your opponent won't need a switch in at all due to coverage.

>>28732059
>All they need to do is stop making Rock types with less than 90 speed

This is a nosense. Most of rock type mons are based on rocks and minerals. Rocks don't move themselves so is logic they are slow. And rocks are sturdy, so is logic they are defensive too.

The irony of this is that Rock type has 5 dangerous weaknesses that makes it impossible for them to be a great defensive mons.

>>28732254

>>28731937
Again, what the fuck are you talking about? It's not even talking about Yanmega, talking about how Bug/Flying is a bad Type. It has nothing to do with Yanmega's appearance or why its Bug/Flying

>>28732254
We already have more than enough Rock types with huge defense and zero speed though, we even have one that's actually useful (Tyranitar).
Making more Rhydons, Gigaliths and Carracostas would be repetitive and pointless, fast Rock types can exist (Aerodactyl for example), they're good and there's not enough of them.
Old Pokemon like Omastar and Kabutops also need a buff, Kabutops was clearly meant to be fast.

>>28732354
I'd say go back to NU, but you would probably be shit there as well because Sneasel is a thing

>>28732324
Waifufags sticking a token in their teams because it's not complete dead weight, does not mean that the pokemon is top tier. Look at pachirisu for example.

>>28732397
Kabutops is so good GF nerfed autoweather.

>>28732375
It's the reason Mega Diancie is the only rock type I really like using. Diamond Storm is a godsend.

>>28732415
Pachirisu is not used in OU. It's not used in hundreds of teams on a daily basis! It was used once in 2014 because it has synergy with Kyogre.

>>28732401

Weavile IS a good Pokemon you blubbering retard

>>28732441
>You're a bad player because you called my waifu an bad pokemon ;_;
Fucking scrubs.

>>28732424
Kabutops was RU in BW though, Ludicolo and Kingdra are the GOAT rain sweepers.

>>28732309
Hey man, my favorite trio are the Regis, my favorite Pokémon is Rock/Steel and my favorite type is Rock type. But I know these types defensively are disappointing.

>>28732505
Go to the OU room on PS and say Weavile is a bad Pokemon. See the response you get from players far better than you.

>>28730565
If you are 12, sure

>>28732453
>Weavile
>not good
And this is how I know you know nothing about competitive.

>>28732441

You are all retarded

Shadow, retard.

>>28732609
I know nothing about smogon, but I know for a fact weavile has top cut many VGC16 tournies

Your shit, please stop making an ass out of yourself

>>28732609
>>28732632
>Competitive

This is how I know you don't play Pokemon.

>>28732609
This is the last (you) I'm giving to (you). Now please go to a chat room and tell to everyone Weavile is a bad pokemon and see al the responses.

Rock type mechanic
> x4 are just x2

PLEASE GF

>>28732655
Don't need to, everyone who has an actually good team and is well rated already has no weaviles in their team. And anyone who thinks it's good will be a shitter, armcchair battler or just a waifufag.

>>28732696
We have shown you proof that Weavile is a good mon in both OU and VGC, fuck off.

>>28732696
>Armchair battler

...Is there actually any way you can play a video game and not be an armchair something?

Can we all agree that Ice is just an abysmal fucking type to have all around?

>>28732397
>We already have more than enough Rock types with huge defense and zero speed though

That is decided by the design. Does not matter if we have too many of these Pokémon.

>>28732696
>an actually good team
>well rated
What, do you play in some Facebook league or something? Get your cancerous shit out of here.

>>28732688
Auto Solid Rock would work.

>>28732515
>Kabutops was RU in BW though.

That's because Swift Swim was banned with Drizzle and only allowed with manual rain.

>>28732740
Even in terms of monster design the "bulky Pokemon with rock armor" niche is over-saturated, it's not a coincidence if everyone is losing their shit over Lycanroc.

>>28730586

It's a great offensive combination, too bad the only Ice/Rock we have is a slow "defensive" asshole.

Psychic/Dark is probably the worst becuase neither type gain anything from its combination.

>>28730810

>low reward
>even though it's OU

mmkay.

>>28732397
Poor Carracosta. It got Shell Smash, but it's too damn slow to use it well.

>>28731248
I like the idea of a cold virus.

Shivirus -> Flueeze -> Coldagion

>>28732884
I know, it's pathetic. Shell Smash and Sturdy are such a nice combo, but Carracosta's speed is truly unredeemable.

>>28732834
Lycanroc is just an exception. Minior exists too, precisely with the same description as you said

>>28732721
It's more or less on par with Rock, being better offensively (just because its attacks are accurate) but worse defensively. Has great offensive and "defensive" synergy with Fighting, Ground, Ghost and Electric, making for great wallbreakers and revenge killers, as well as STAB priority. I'd kill for a mixed Ice/Fighting with triple digit base speed.

>>28732924
Minior loses its armor though, and becomes fast.

>>28732010

Even though Celebi (and Exeggutor) have 7 weaknesses, they also resist nearly the rest of the type chart, resisting great offensive typings so it really isn't the worst, not even close to the worst.

>>28732950
An Ice/Fighting type with Technician Storm Throws and Frost Breaths is something I'd love to see.

>>28732117

>>28732721

It's a great offensive type.

You only think it's bad because Gamefreak has a fetish for slow defensive ice types.

>>28730565
Been doing a nuzlocke and aggrons been the most reliable team member. I guess the ground and fighting tends to be physical, so he's able to tank a hit.

>>28731779
>Implying Normal/Ghost is bad even with its three immunities.

>>28730565
Ice/Steel.

>>28730565
Ice/Rock.

>>28732853
I've seen this argument before but I still think Ice/Rock is overrated offensively. Special wise, you are stuck with power gem, while physical wise you are stuck with Icicle crash. Only Skill Link gives you full power with both STABs and you are still resisted by Steel for both.

>>28733032
Ground and Fighting are near nonexistant in RSE ingame. While normal attacks are common as fuck.

>>28730565
I think it's either Ice/Grass or Dark/Rock. Abomasnow and Snover are the only contenders for the former, and we all know how they fare. But the only one with the latter type combo is Tyrannitar, and Tyrannitar is so powerful that its type combo doesn't hinder it as severely as it should. If any other Pokemon gets the Dark/Rock typing, and it's worse than Tyranitar, they will most likely be not very good.
