I ask this knowing that this bears a strong similarity to your dislike of Empoleon's part Steel-type. In this scenario, the Grass-Poison type is neutrally affected by Ground-type moves, rather than being resistant to them. (This is analogous to Empoleon's lack of a resistance to Fire-type moves, and its weakness to Ground-type moves, both of which are weak to Water). However, while the pure Grass-type resists Ground, it has added weaknesses to Poison- and Bug-type moves. (This is analogous to Empoleon's numerous other resistances added with the Steel typing.) With this in mind, which Pokemon would you choose?

: | :I think youre completely missing the point of why i dont like Empoleon. the problem is that it is Steel, where-as given it is based on a penguin, it should be Ice-type. thats my complaint. it has nothing to do about weaknesses or what-not, its about its source material (penguin) and how it doesnt follow it. | ||
: | :Also, I would go with the Grass/Poison because it offers more coverage both offensively and defensively than pure Grass. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#696969;">NE</span>]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 21:19, 16 April 2012 (UTC) | ||
::I quote your comment higher up on this page: "The weakness to ground was what turned me off about him."

:::That was forever ago. It doesn't even make sense. Empoleon should be Ice, which in-turn would remove its Ground-type weakness. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#696969;">NE</span>]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 22:17, 17 April 2012 (UTC) | |||
