A Pokemon Puzzle

Or maybe a query. Imagine an attack that hits with every type. What would the effectiveness be on each type?

 

Alternatively. A Pokemon that is every type, what would its weakness/resistances be?

Ooooh nice :D

 

I wonder, going by that...Rock best attacking type, Ice worst defensive type?

Poison best defensive type except the types its weak to are really strong.

And Bug/Grass worst offensive type?

 

Of course that's not the purpose of this but I wonder if it syncs up....

More or less. The problem is so many types have x0 so the data isn't a perfect representation of the types.

 

For example, Fighting and Ground are the two best attacking types in terms of number of things they do x2 damage to. However, because of Ghost and Flying respectively they just get zeroed. In terms of #weak to it vs. #that can switch in, Ground is the best attacking type.

 

Ice is the worse defensive type. It has 1 less weakness then Grass and Rock, but only 1 resistance vs. their 4.

 

Steel is still the best defensive type in the game, but Poison is good. Though I think I'd call Fairy the next best defensive type since it has 3 resists, 1 immune, and only 2 weaknesses to bad offensive types. Fire is also surprisingly defensive (it resists 6 types) but being weak to Rock REALLY sucks because of Stealth Rocks.

 

Bug and Grass are easily the worse offensive types. Fighting is surprisingly bad since while it does x2 vs. 5 types, 5 also resist it on tope of one being immune. Poison is also bad with 4 resist, 1 immune, and only 2 being weak (and one of those is Grass which as said has a ton of weaknesses already). For that reason Steel is also a bad offensive type since 4 types resist it and of the 3 that are weak, 2 already have a ton of weakness (Rock and Ice).

 

 

Random aside, its stuff like this that makes me REALLY want to do a Pokemon Red LP. I could talk for hours on Pokemon.
