If you had to specialize in 1 type of Pokémon, what would you choose?

Not open for further replies.
Also, what Pokémon would you choose in your team?
This is if you were in a position such as a gym leader, elite 4 member, etc., so no major legendaries

I personally would use normal types due to they're ability to adapt to many situations, and the fact that some of them are downright badass. Also, nearly half of the flying types I like are part normal.
Swellow
Tauros
Mega Kangaskhan
Porygon-Z
Zangoose
Meloetta
(Like I said, unimportant legends are ok)

Either Water : Gyarados ,Vaporeon, Lanturn, Ludicudo,Kingdra,Jellecent.
Or Electric: Magnezone, Lanturn, Rotom[Frost or Mow], Galvanua, Emolga, Mega Amparos and if I can't have Rotom i'll have Jolteon
 
The Pokémon that I would specialize in, would be Steel type.
The team would be the following.
- Skarmory- (Fly, Toxic, Steel Wing, Stealth Rock) Sturdy
- Lucario- (Flash Cannon, Aura Sphere, Dragon Pulse, Earthquake) Inner Focus
- Magnezone- (Thunderbolt, Flash Cannon, Light Screen, Thunder Wave) Sturdy
- Aggron- (Iron Head, Earthquake, Double Edge, Stone Edge) Rock Head
- Scizor
- (If allow, it goes mega) (Iron Head, X-Scissor, Bullet Punch, Aerial Ace) Technician
- Empoleon (Highest level on the team) (Surf, Ice Beam, Drill Peck, Flash Cannon) Torrent

Gengar
Jellicent
Trevenant
Sableye
Aegislash
Banette (Mega)

Mawile (Mega)

Probably steel-types. I'd roll with Metagross, Steelix, Aggron, Aegislash, Empoleon, and Magnezone, if we're going by favorites.
 
random ones i chose

dragon team
hydreigon
charizard (with x mega stone)
flygon
dragonite
goodra
tyrantrum

fighting team
lucario (with mega stone)
infernape
hitmonchan
chestnaught
blaziken
heracross

ghost
spiritomb
chandelure
gengar (with mega stone)
mismagius
gourgeist
aegislash

those were the ones i had at the top of my head, but in my opinion all types are good (except bug, only a select few like pinsir and volcarona are good)
 
Grass, which happens to be my favorite type.

Leafeon
Chesnaught
Mowtom
(Mega)Venusaur
Whimsicott
Cradily

Which is the team in my sig.

If I had to specialise in a Type it'd have to be Flying, even though that'd mean I couldn't have Manectric. I'd just have to have mine as my loyal companion and not use him for battle xD

My Flying Types of choice ♥

Murkrow
Archeops
Dragonite
Gliscor
Talonflame
Skarmory

+ Tornadus (Therian) if unimportant legendaries are fair game... with it being the only pure Flying Type it should really be on the team xD One of the others can sub-out every now and then.

Choices are down to personal favourites, especially Murkrow and Archeops, nothing more xD
 
Eevolution is a type, right? *brick'd*

A while back I had the idea for a Dark type team. It consisted of Murkrow, Spiritomb, Drapion, Weavile, Houndoom and Umbreon. I should look into that, with the additions of Gen 5 and 6 pokes, it has some potential.

It'd be between psychic or dark. I love both types so much, it's impossible to choose one.
For psychic it'd be - gardevoir, gallade, malamar, espeon alakazam, and meowstic
For dark it'd be - malamar, mighteyana, houndoom, umbreon, absol, and zoarark
 
I'd say Poison types. Straight Poison types only have two weaknesses and Weezing only has one. :) But there's a lot of useful dual types out there too. Venusaur, Arbok, Weezing, Drapion, Victreebel, Muk, Crobat, Venomoth, the list goes on. I find them to be very versatile.
 
I would probably just use Dark type Pokémon, because they are so strong, and most of them only are weak against Fighting type Pokémon.

This would be my Dark type Pokémon team:

Darkrai
Yveltal
Mightyena
Spiritomb
Greninja
Sableye (Mega)

This is tough for me. ;_;
I really love several types of Pokemon but if I had to choose only one to train then nothing feels quite right except for Fire-types. Don't even fully know why.

Potential Team
006.png
(Because I adore Charizard ♥)
059.png
(Because I also really love Arcanine ♥)
257.png
or
392.png
(Can't decide. I'd want only one of them but I really like them both! </3)
609.png
(I've always been interested in training one yet never have...)
637.png
(Because it's awesome)
663.png
(Gale Wings) or
479h.png
(Because Levitate and I like its dual typing)

I have no idea how versatile this team would actually be but I would likely swap out Talonflame for Heat Rotom if I wasn't able to use Mega Charizard X. Having three Pokemon on the same team with a x4 Rock-type weakness likely wouldn't be the brightest idea. :p I really like both Houndoom and Camerupt but I've always found that I prefer other Fire-types to them in practice. That being said, if I was able to have Mega Houndoom then I'd highly consider finding a place for it on the team - because giant demon puppy is love. ♥ In that situation I'd just keep Charizard as standard Charizard.

If I could get away with having a Heatran I'd likely toss it on the team somewhere, too, as it's a silly thing and I've always liked it and its typing/stat spread. :)
 
Wow, this is a hard choice as I love so many pokemon, though if I had to choose one type it would be grass type. :D
My team would probably be:
Venusaur, Ludicolo, Chesnaught, Rotom (Lawnmower form), Torterra and Tropius.
Though there are a few others that I might use instead such as Breloom, Gogoat, Whimsicott, Meganium or Serperior. :3
 
I'd say the Dragon type. Not only are dragon tamers like Lance and Clair absolutely badass, they're also really strong with lots of type resistances. My team would probably be...

706.png
Goodra (It's sooooooo CUTE!! Also, it's attack is high and stuff...)

6.png
Charizard (Not a real dragon, but lets be serious here.)

330.png
Flygon (80 base stats in everything but Attack and Speed, but I don't care.)

148.png
Dragonair (Why not Dragonite? 'Cuz Dragonair is more awesome.)

621.png
Druddigon (Always liked Druddigon more than Hydreigon.)

334.png
Altaria (Gotta love those cloud-wings.)
 
I would use flying type pokemon-
1. Mega charizard y
2. Dragonite
3. Skarmory
4. Togekiss
5. Drifblim
6. Staraptor
I know some of them have major weakness to ice, rock and electric type moves but still I'll use them because I love flying types!

Clefable - Female

If I specialized in Steel types I'd have:

Aggron (Mega evolves) - Female

I'd say the Dragon type. Not only are dragon tamers like Lance and Clair absolutely badass, they're also really strong with lots of type resistances. My team would probably be...

I'd have to run with some form of Grass, Poison or Rock-type team. I already have most of them trained up, actually! They're Gen V, so no Mega's or VI, but that's fine. I think the Grass-type is my favourite, so I'll list that off :)

Roserade, Jumpluff, Cradily, Torterra, Parasect and Exeggutor. Cradily and Torterra are the core, with Roserade and Jumpluff to abuse any weather or specifically sun, and Parasect and Exeggutor can get some work done in Exeggutor's Trick Room :D

I'd have to say Dark types. While I feel more comfortable with Poison types at heart, I have to say that DEM DARK TYPES--*cough*-- have nice stats. *twitch*

Weavile-- Need I say any more? >:D
Yveltal-- FLYING BACON BIRD OF DEATH.
Houndoom-- Burn fire dog. Duh.
Umbreon-- DEEEFENSE
Hydreigon-- Big dragon is big. And strong.
And last,
...MALAMAR. I don't like it in particular, but it's BEAST.
If Mega Luxray were dark-type and a thing I'D CHOOSE IT TO THE END OF THE WORRRLDDDD.
[/endrant]
 
although i like dark and psychic ill have to go with water. the pokemon id have would be....
1 mega swampert
2 whalord
3 sharpedo
4 shiny greninja
5 kyogre
6 gyarados
that team would be boss by my standards! except against grass and electric types... :(
 
BUG TYPES!!!

They are awesome because they can inflict lots of status conditions, plus they are Bugs! If they didn't have so many weaknesses they would be perfect ♥.

Shedinja: It has the best ability ever!
Armaldo: It's also a rock type, so it can actually do some damage to fire types.
Ariados: Yay for poisoning stuff!
Kricketune: Can put Pokems to sleep.
Yanmega: It's a big dragonfly.
Volcarona: It's a big and fire type, and therefore defies logic!
 
Welllllll I guess I'd go with Fire-type.
Wait, I ain't gonna guess, I knowwwwww!
First of all - Arcanine ( duh~)
Darmanitan
Camerupt
Flareon
Chandelure
That's it I guess... :)
 
hmm... probably Grass (Meganium, Roserade, Leafeon, Gogoat, Torterra and Abomasnow) or Fairy ((Mega) Gardevoir, Togekiss, Dedenne, Azumarill, Sylveon and Carbink).
 

Ghostly-Hedgehog

Hm. Water is my favorite type, but nothing feels right except. . . Ghost. Don't even know.

Team:
Chandelure. Because they are bossz.
Gengar. Because scrry.
Aegislash. Trololol.
Shedinja. Strategy is boss.
Trevenant. Because ghost tree.
Jellicent. The one 'Dex entry that scares the @%#^ outta me.
Yay!
 
I'd of course specialize in Grass type ~
Hoppip
187.png
- I prefer cute/ pretty over useful.
Sawsbuck
586.png
- Stags are cool?
Gogoat
673.png
- I would ride this thing everywhere.
Tropius
357.png
- HM Slave for Fly, Cut, Strength and Rock Smash.
Lombre
271.png
- HM Slave for Surf, Waterfall and Dive.
Not sure about the last space, but I'd probably go for Sunflora
192.png
, since it's my Pokésona.
 
Kind of hard for me to choose, as my favorite Pokemon I didn't choose for the type, but for the animal it's based on. Majority of the foxes I like are fire type - I'll go with that:
Braixen (everstone), my #1 favorite Pokemon, it would have to be part of my team
Ninetales
Flareon
Delphox (one fully evolved)
the next two would be fire type Pokemon I also like:
Arcanine
Infernape
