I mean this in a very broad sense, which type is the best in battle, which type has the best mons, which type just has the best theme that it holds to?

Fuck, I don’t know. Psychic or Ghost.
>Theme
Probably Water, Fire, or Electric because those ideas are easy to get across.

Ground
>Is both great defensively and offensively
>Each Gen has had at least 1 Pokemon that’s part Ground that at the very least is extremely relevant, often times its the best Pokemon
>This applies to both singles and doubles
>Spamming Earthquake has been a pretty reliable strategy for decades

Sure, maybe back in Gens 2-5. Steel is easily the best type in battle. Amazing defensively, and does just fine offensively.

Depends on what you’re trying to do
Depends on what you want your team to be
Depends on what the role of your team members have
