im bored af and possibly under the influence so why not x
-
1. GRASS - easily the best set of pokemon overall, has a lot of different styles of pokemon with consistently fun and fresh ideas. technically i wouldn't put them very high, but they are easily my personal favorite, with such icons as jumpluff, roserade, cherrim, whimsicott, lilligant, tsareena, and basically every grass type starter, how can you not love them?
-
2. GHOST - honestly one of the most irrelevant types, but i still stan. ghost types are again a personal favorite, while also being a pretty strong and flexible type. lots of very iconic pokemon are ghost types and i almost always try and catch one during playthroughs.
-
3. POISON - soooo fucking underrated. poison types are almost all complete icons, and poison is probably my favorite (not the best) defensive type. if you don't have a poison type pokemon with toxic, get you one. love yourself.
-
4. PSYCHIC - how could they not be high on this list? psychic has always been ridiculously strong and they continue to be legends. recently, i feel psychic types have been a lot more broadened in terms of interesting design. there's a psychic type pokemon out there for everyone and i almost always use one.
-
5. WATER - water types are just too prolific to not be a memorable/iconic type. pokemon loves their water areas, and the best gens (hoenn) have plenty of fun and interesting water types. also very iconic in terms of starters and a very good type both offensively and defensively. bigdizzleyomama would agree but he will call me fake for putting them so high.
-
6. DRAGON - dragon types are iconic as fuck. while the TYPE isn't necessarily appealing, there's so many overpowered/fierce dragon pokemon that i can't not stan. i wish they had a few more quirks in terms of type interactions, but there's basically no bad dragon types whether you look at it from a design perspective or a power perspective.
-
7. GROUND - maybe it will be controversial to put ground type high. that being said, i feel ground type is probably one of the best types from a strategic standpoint, with lots of really good moves and being pretty strong offensively/defensively. there's a lot of interesting designs, and i also love a lot of ground type pokemon so i admit i'm a little biased here. #justiceforkrookodile #andflygon #andsandslash

8. STEEL - out of the types that have been added to the game, steel is easily my favorite in that respect. i love how ridiculously broken steel types are defensively. i used to hate that shit but... if you can't beat em, join em. steel types are ridiculously strong in casual or competitive play and i love using them. also plenty of interesting designs here, even if most steel type users are gamebots (i said it, fuck steven stone).
-
9. FLYING - i would try and put flying type higher, but so many flying types are just basic bird pokemon. the best flying types are the ones that aren't just birds,..
