What is your least favourite elemental type? Mine's Bug, because its pointless and there are only a couple fantastic Bug types (like Scizor).
 
it's a tie between Grass and Bug for me. Mainly useless types with soooooo many weaknesses that i just don't care to even TRY to compensate for.
 
Normal, because it has ruined so many flying types. Flying types could have waaaaaaaayyyyyyy more different type combos
if it weren't for normal.
 
I would have to go the opposite of Dark Cry, until this generation flying always was to (ironic isn't it) chicken to show up without a second type.
 
Dragon. Don't like the hype, or poor balancing compared with other types. We don't need a pretentious "all-powerful" typing.
They generally have such high BSTs anyway, I don't see why the typing itself has to have so few drawbacks as well.
 
I dislike Steel and Dark. The former because i don't feel there's enough of them (save legendaries) (though there are good ones like Scizor) and I hate battling them, while Darks (and ghost and psychic) I generally hate because I always forget which one's supereffective against which. And of course Dark isn't effective against fighting which i don't understand.
 
I hardly ever use Poison types(Unless they have a good type with it) so it gets my vote.
 
With no doubt the psychic type. There's too many of them, like the fifth most common type or somewhere up there rivaling with the types that's meant to be common such as grass/bug/poison... I also generally (there are exceptions) don't like how they look or how they play.

Flying also got my vote since it's such a dull-just-about-everywhere kind of type. The birds got no strong moves and more often end up levels behind on my last spot with the move "Fly".

Didn't vote for the dark type. I should have.
 
i love the worst ones xD
dark, psychic, steel, and ghost ♥

edit: i read that wrong o_O
i hate bug type and ground >.<

Poison. The worst offensive type by far. Though being resistant to the Poison status is nice, and it only has two weaknesses, Steel-Types do their job much better. It doesn't help that Zubat/Golbat/Crobat is part Poison. Grr.
 
I never liked Grass types much. The only one I really love is Roserade. I like Cacturne, Cradily, and Breloom, but nowhere near enough to have ever used them. And many others have great designs, but again, I just don't like the grass typing.

I don't particularly like Ice either, the only ones I like of that type are Cloyster and Articuno. Rock takes third, but at least the majority of the fossil pokemon are awesome.
 
Ice. They make up half the types that are super-effective against Dragon-types, yes, but other than that, they're not that great. Ice is super effective against 3 types in total, and they have a pretty big list of weaknesses for a single type. Pretty useless in dual-typed Pokémon, too - they usually end up only gaining weaknesses.
 
My least favorite is ground. But that's really only because I mainly use electric types and you know how that goes... But after that would be water.
 
None, there is not a single type I hate or "dislike". All have their own benefits and weaknesses although i have to say that I find water and dark annoying.

I think I don't like Poison or Steel. As for why... well, Poison hardly gets any real use in actual battles when it comes to direct damage. As for Steel... resistances are nice, but not so much for weaknesses.
 
Even though Glaceon is one of my favorite pokemon, Ice typing is more of a liability than a benefit, still, STAB Ice Beam is something to be feared, especially with the Salamances, and Garchomps running around.
 
Water. It may not be blatant, but it is overpowered. Getting lots of pretty versatile pokemon that easilly can wall others and monopolize the metagame. Excellent defense and every water pokemon getting access to a good movepool? glksfg.

Every team REQUIRES an electric move, and any attempts at hindering it have only worked in its favor.

Keep in mind that there only a few water types that are actually good in the metagame while the rest are pretty terrible (the majority of them are fish after all).
