UPN 2012 "Most Desired Type Combo" Poll - Phase 1!

In Part 1 of this poll, I would like to open the floor to general voting for the type combos we have yet to see on actual creatures. The rules are pretty simple:
1. You may vote for as many or as few of the types combos listed.

2. When you vote, please indicate your preference by ranking the type combos from 1 (your most desired) to 42 (your least desired).

3. You may not repeat the same number twice. (In other words, no ranking two combos the same exact ranking.)
Any combos you do not vote for, I shall count as a vote of 42. This minimizes the impact of any deliberate attempts to sabotage particular type combos.

Phase 1 voting shall close in 4 days. When I wake up Sunday morning (local time, Eastern Standard Time), I'll tally the votes and move us on to Phase 2.

The five type combos which receive the lowest scores (indicating they are the five most popular choices) will move on to Phase 2 where they will be put before the community for a second vote.

For the purposes of this poll, Type1/Type2 = Type2/Type1, e.g. Dark/Electric = Electric/Dark. If we could all keep on the same page by ordering things alphabetically, that would be great. Thanks. In fact, just make it easy on me by copying and pasting the list below and reorganizing its contents as you vote. Much appreciated.

*Note: stupid Rotom has unfortunately accounted for six of the sixteen possible Electric type combinations, many of which fans continue to want to see on other Pokémon. However, I don't think it'd be right to include combos like Electric/Fire or Electric/Grass on this list on the basis of personal disdain for Rotom's grubby hands laying dibs to them when there are so many other type combos which also have only one Pokémon representing them currently. Believe me, I would've loved to have voted for Electric/Fire myself. -_-; Oh well.

Copying and pasting this list from elsewhere (please offer corrections if the list is incorrect):

=Pokémon Type Combos We Haven't Seen Yet=
Bug/Dark
Bug/Dragon
Bug/Ice
Bug/Normal
Bug/Psychic
Dark/Electric

The Dark/Psychic typing saddens me and should you too. (one immunity does not cover up he 4x weakness, and i don't care about ying-yang mumbo-jumob, this typing sucks and you do to for liking it)
So, 66% were more competitively minded than you think.

Me thinks that Grass/Ghost justification is rather shaky.

(Whatcha talking about, Dark/Psychic isn't Yinyangy at all. It's just an interesting idea and it totally should of been Mewtwo's typing.


EDIT: Edited in reasoning.
Most of them are either "I'm curious to see what they would do with it", "Dark-types are fucking awesome", or "IT SHOULD BE THIS LISTEN TO MEEEEEE".

Any Breloom counter is good. Trust me, play with Techniloom for one day and you will be singing my tune.

I actually made a Grass/Ghost starter with I think 180(might have been 175)/ 100/ 60 defenses, and the typing holds up quite well. Getting Leech Seed is cool.

Grass/Ghost:

Immunities:
Normal
Fighting

4x Resist:
None

2x Resist:
Water
Electric
Grass
Ground

Neutral:
Poison
Psychic
Bug
Rock
Dragon
Steel

2x Weak:
Fire
Flying
Ghost
Dark
Ice

Immune to common Fighting attacks. Resistant to common Water, Electric, and Ground attacks. Neutral to common Dragon and Rock attacks. Weak to common Ice attacks.

I defined "common" as: Oh boy, you sure see a lot of those kinds of attacks in battle. I'd count Grass and Fire as semi-common, but not nearly as much as the above.

I want to call OP sooooooo hard right now it isn't even funny. And you get both Will-o-Wisp and Leech Seed, I suppose?


...We should make a fakemon region together. Everything would be so broken it just might work out.

Actually, no Will-O-Wisp, and in the land of Heatran, he is countered quite nicely.

But, let us not derail this thread TRAINS!

Further reading: http://pokemonshowdown.com/damagecalc/wall

Type in Necturna as your Pokemon (CAP with Grass/Ghost typing), play with the base stats, EV's, IV's, natures and so forth and see how it stacks up against everything remotely viable in any tier. Have fun, kiddos!

Interesting, I always envisioned Eelektross as an Electric/Water type, and Electivire as an Electric/Fighting type. I never thought about Electric/Fighting Eelektross, but that's a neat idea.

The way his sprite dances around has always reminded me very much of a boxer in the boxing ring dancing between both feet. He also has grown the arms to be a fighter, arms he lacked as a Tynamo and an Eelektrik, further suggesting (to me, anyway) that he should've been a Fighting type. Factor in that he learns pretty much all of the punches (Thunder, Fire, Ice, Drain), Superpower, Brick Break, and has stats which favor Atk over SpAtk, and what is there to say but it just plain works?

Or at least it does in my opinion. Others may think it as stupid as Poison/Steel Weezing or Water/Psychic Golduck, so. *shrug*
