Well it's been about 2 weeks since I uploaded the what is the worst Pokemon type video,
and I got say I did not expect to see the support I actually got on it.
And I'm not just talking about viewcount I mean the like to dislike ratio was great
and for the most part you guys in the comment section agreed with me.
So with all that support in mind it got my mind thinking more and more about Pokemon
types.
And so I thought, what is the Strongest or Best Pokemon Type?
And well Today I think I've come up with the correct answer to that very question.
What I'll be factoring in to this video is type effectiveness, resistances, weaknesses,
statistical averages of all pokemon of that type, and how good of moves there are for
that type.
And Just like the last pokemon type video to avoid making this longer than it has to
be we will only be taking a look at 3 possible candidates.
Because we all know types like Normal Bug and Ice have no business being anywhere near
this video.
And as you guys know videos like these are 100% my own opinion but with the categories
I'll be looking at I am going to be as objective as possible.
But of course leave a comment if you disagree.
If you guys enjoy this video be sure to leave a like subscribe and share this video with
a friend and with that being said let's get started.
Well when talking about the strongest pokemon type, I'm pretty sure in most peoples minds
the first one to come up has to be the Dragon typing.
And who can really blame them?
Stat wise these things are absolute MONSTERS with only one stat line averaging under 90.
But honestly there is so much more to it than just stats.
For 1 I think the best thing about this typing isn't just its stats, but also the moves
that pair along with it.
To me I think Dragon has by far the most powerful movepool with strong attacks on both sides
like draco meteor, outrage, dragon pulse, and dragon claw.
Not to mention it has one of the best set up moves in dragon dance but eh what do I
know?
And I know this typing is only super effective against itself, but like I said with these
stats and these powerful moves, I dont care who are those attacks are going to hurt a
lot.
Speaking of type effectiveness I think we should also mention how good Dragon's resistances
actually are.
Having those resistantances to fire water grass and electric are key to its success.
Especially with water, electric and fire being so common in the metagame.
And as for weaknesses Pre Gen 6 this typing was A BEAST only having 2 weaknesses to ice
and itself and only 1 type actually resisting it being steel.
And as you guys know from the last pokemon type video Ice while a very strong offensive
type, can easily be countered because of its lack of defense.
And as for the other weakness that really just comes down to whos faster and stronger.
The only REAL problem I see here is the steel typing, well that and of course the fairy
type added in generation 6.
Now once Pokemon X and Y brought the new typing in fairy Dragon got a serious nerf competitively.
For 1 fairy is immune to its attacks which sucks, and 2 fairy is super effective against
it.
And considering fairy types are VERY common in the current meta the value for dragon types
have seriously depreciated.
Not to the point where no one wants to use it because trust me there still VERY effective
in competitive just look at garchomp, salamence, latios, or charizard X im just saying they
arent as good as they once were.
If this was Pre-Generation 6 and Fairy types never exsisted, than there's no question
who the best type is.
But since Fairy types are a thing the gap has significantly closened.
But who knows maybe thats still not enough.
Now when I did the video on the Top 5 Strongest Dual types I made it a point to mention how
good the steel typing actually is.
I mean come on I had to make a rule for the list to prevent the steel type from showing
up multiple times.
Like seriously it works so well with so many types.
There's dragon, ghost, fairy, even bug.
So to me when devising a video on the Strongest Pokemon type, it's a no brainer that we
at least have to mention the steel typing.
It's by far the BEST defensive typing with a grand total of 10 yes 10 resistances and
1 immunity to poison.
And these resistances aren't all bad typings either there are some very strong types here.
You got Dragon, Fairy, Flying, and although rock isn't a good typing having that resistance
to stealth rocks is also very nice to have.
So as you can tell this typing is mainly used as a defense wall and the overall average
stats really reflect that.
It's got AMAZING physical defense and passable special defense.
And while yes it is the Ultimate defensive typing it's not that bad offensively too.
Sure pre-gen 6 it only was super effective against Ice and Rock, but with the addition
of the fairy type Steel has become a lot more useful offensively too.
Pair that along with the already great overall physical attack and you got some things you
can work with here.
But again thats the only real use for it offensively.
Now as for moves go you got a few but really good attacks in bullet punch, gyro ball, iron
head, flash cannon and meteor mash.
And although there arent that many special attacks to work with, it doesn't really
matter because steel really focuses on its physical attack.
But here's the thing about this typing though.
While yes it is the Ultimate defensive typing there still are some serious problems defensively.
For 1 while it only has 3 weaknesses to Fire, Ground, and Fighting all three of those typings
are very prevelant in the current metagame.
Steel especially has a problem with fire because offensively it can go both ways being physical
or special.
And as you can tell steel's special defense isnt that amazing is just passable.
And to go along with that I think I might have over exaggerated a little on how good
steel is offensively.
While yes it does do well against fairy common types like electric, fire and water all resist
steel.
But honestly with all of the negatives in mind I still think the pros far outweigh the
cons here.
Now I'm not gonna lie, I always knew the steel typing was a very strong type, but I
would have never thought that it would ever come close to being the best typing.
But it just goes to show, don't judge a book by its cover.
And finally the last typing we are going to be talking about today is one that I've
been constantly mentioning throughout this entire video.
The newly added type from generation 6 Fairy.
Now on the surface A name like fairy doesn't come off as strong or even good but man does
this typing tear down that stereotype.
Now as we all know pre gen 6 Dragon was running a muck in the competitive meta.
So much so that it really needed a nerf to bring it down a notch.
And Fairy was that necessary addition.
Funny thing is though, this typing was brought in to nerf an OP type, but in the process
of that fairy became OP with in itself.
It's one of if not the most effective offensive typings with super effective hits against
3 really strong types in dark fighting and of course dragon.
And stat wise Fairy aint no slouch either with great statlines in both its special attack
and special defense.
Speaking of which defensively I think fairy is a little underrated.
Like I said it's got great special defense to go along with 3 ressistances to bug dark
and fighting.
But I think what's so key for fairy defensively has to be that immunity it gets to dragon.
That's a game changer considering how powerful the dragon typing is and only 1 other type
resists its attacks.
Now as for a movepool, it definetely isn't very vast with the only good attacking moves
being moonblast, dazzling gleam, and play rough.
It does suck that there is only really 1 good physical attacking move but its more of a
special attacking type anyways so I guess its ok.
But I do have to say As a side note Fairy also gets an AMAZING ability in pixelate which
turns normal type moves into fairy.
So along with the 3 moves I mentioned you also get access to more great stab moves like
hyper voice and return.
But I know not all fairies get access to this ability but it is interesting to mention.
I will say though while this typing is very good, it's not without its faults.
I think the worst thing about fairy has to be that its average physical defense is nowhere
near as good as its special defense.
I say this is bad because those 2 types fairy is weak to are more know for the physical
attacks than special.
Sure poison isnt that amazing of a type, but on average steel has around base 105 attack.
You can basically say goodbye at that point.
And steel can serve as a hard counter to fairy because of the fact that it along with fire
and poison also resists all of fairies attacks.
Pair all of these faults with the fact that fairies have mediocre speed it can make things
a bit more difficult.
But all in all the offensive capabilities are there but is that enough to make it the
best type?
Let's find out.
Well now that we've taken a closer look at what I think are the 3 best types in the
game it's time to decide which one gets the coveted title of being the best of the
rest.
And well when you add everything up the best pokemon type has to be… (drumroll) The Steel
type.
I'm gonna be honest with you guys here going into this video I was planning on crowning
fairy the clear cut goat.
But after the research I just can't justify myself doing that.
Steel is just too good defensively, good enough offensively, and the best type to combine
with.
I mean seriously some of the best competitive pokemon have the steel type latched onto it.
There's mawile, metagross, klefki, celesteela, skarmory, aggron I can go on for days.
To put it in basketball terms Steel is like the lebron james of pokemon types its a great
complimentary piece, can work well with almost anything, and it's great all around.
(since Im guessing you dont know much about pokemon just ask me what to put here ill tell
you) What can I say steel type is the GOAT.
