  1. 1. Which Type is the Easiest to Defeat?



Recommended Posts

Every one thinks Bug has alot of weaknesses. It only has 3. The same amount as Steel or Flying.

 

It's a two way tie between Grass and Rock. Rock is likely the worse of the 2 since most of it's weaknesses are common.

 

Side from that Ice also has a lot of weaknesses.

 

You can always rely on FlameDragon to know his Pokemon.

Ice is typically the worst defensive type, which is ironic because it's the best offensive type.

 

Ice is good offensively because it covers Grass, Ground, Flying, and Dragon types, all of which are fairly common types. Ice moves are also usually powerful.

 

However, an Ice-type Pokemon is easy to beat simply because it has a weakness to Rock, Fighting, Fire, and Steel, three of which are very common attack types, and the only type that ice resists is Ice. Therefore, it is the worst defensive type. It also doesn't help that Ice type Pokemon typically have low defense.

Anything that Pikachu can pwn

including Water and Flying

 

Shut up.

 

In any case, I agree with Judgment Dragon - though Ice is the single worst type, since the other two at least have a few resistances to attempt to make up for all the weaknesses. Ice only resists itself, which is very disappointing.

 

Ice-Types CAN be good, if played correctly, but it's still a bad typing.

Bug Pokemon are the easiest to beat.

They are by far, the weakest of all the pokemon (considering 90% of their forms are caught in the beginning of the game, and do not advance much compared to the other pokemon), and their stats aren't that great.

You've either got, a moth, a ladybug, a butterfly, a caccoon, a worm, or a kricket.

Doesn't sound too devastatingly serious to me...

They still aren't as easy to beat as Grass or Ice though.

 

Bugs are typically sub-par where stats are concerned, true, but their usefulness is usually intended elsewhere. Ninjask is a prominent example of this, as he is extremely fast and is meant to be a baton passer.

 

Bugs have a weakness to Fire, Flying, and Rock, and resist Fighting, Ground, and Grass. That's not too bad. However, most Bugs are also flying-type, which makes them susceptible to Electricity and Ice as well as increasing their rock weakness, but makes them completely immune to Ground and further boosts their fighting resistance (two very common attack types).

 

So Bugs aren't THAT bad. Not great, but not bad. Plus, Scizzor is cool.

Electric isn't hard to beat. Sure, it only has one weakness, but most of them have crummy defenses that result in single-hit KOs. Plus, Earthquake is a very, very common attack.

 

The hardest type to beat is Steel - they typically have high defensive stats coupled with a boat-load of resistances and few weaknesses.

But remember that those 3 weakness are very common, well at least 2 of them are.

 

Steel alone isn't that great a type, it's just that most of the commonly used steel types are also have a good second type or ability that covers their key weakness (mainly Earthquake). The high DEF also doesn't hurt.

True, but no type is perfect. Steel may be the hardest type to defeat, but that doesn't actually mean it's hard. All it means is that it's harder to beat than other types. The reality is that no Pokemon type is really HARD to defeat, seeing as how they all have their share of weaknesses. At least, not singularly.

 

As you said, it's Dual-Typing that starts to make things more/less difficult.
