Fire/Ghost could be an awesome combo?
Btw, Kingler( Krabby) and Crawdaunt (His pre evo) are crabs already, so it would be somewhat...
Water/Fighting (Something like Galade, but with fins)Might be something cool too, of a GOOD Water/Flying, since Pelli and Manti suck, kind of...
Erhm, Poliwrath and Gyarados? >_________>
Poliwrath is great at what he does, and Gyarados, can you really ask for better than an eternal "top 10" poke for a "good" pokemon.
I'd kind of like to see Water/Fighting + Levitate on an offensive-tankish pokemon though. That combo resists Ground, Rock, Water, Ice, Fire, Bug, Dark and Steel, basically all the major physical attacking types (and some major special ones) of OU except for Dragon and Fighting. I think people who play CAP already know how ridiculous Water/Fight can be defensively-- throw on Levitate and it'd be rediculous. :P
Admittedly, Water/Flying defensive type with consistant Water/Flying STAB (Bounce is not consistant . . .) would be really nice to see.
I'd kind of hope for special to give us something quite different than gyarados. I'd like to see some kind of flying-bug thing, just so we could get compound eyes. Can you imagine something like:
Water/Flying
Compound Eyes
~Hydro Pump
~Air Slash
~Focus Blast
~Blizzard
With bulky special-sweeper stats and ~100 speed? :P
Btw, everything Grass needs, is a few good non- Support moves, or some better diversity out of grass, poison and Hidden Power...
Grass is weak to 5 types and resisted by 7. It's a crappy typing to be, defensive or offensively no matter how you look at it.
The only thing grass has going for it is that it hits a few key types super effective, the most important being WATER, and ground to a lesser extent (why use grass when you can use water or ice? Especially with Gliscor around). This means that Grass is a some-what desired secondary type attack by some pokemon who are not grass-types (mostly water and fire types, again so that they can hit water types super effective).
The main reason why grass types would be desirable is because
water pokes are so bulky and dominating that just hitting them super effective without STAB is often not enough. Random grass attacks are no achilles heal to water the way random Ice Beams are to dragons, especially when some key grass types (Vaporeon, Tentacruel) can easily shrug off grass knot, the main widely distributed grass attack.
But as such a crappy typing, you got to be ridiculous to make OU as a grass type.
Let's look at our 3 OU Grass Types:
Breloom: Acts more like a fighting type who happens to get Spore and Leech Seed. Seed Bomb is one of the most insignificant parts of the picture. 130 base attack, Spore, 2x lefties heal + status immunity and STAB Focus Punch is pretty ridiculous, and breloom is held back only by low speed (and overall low BST) and-- it's grass type weaknesses (though those resistances are ridiculous).
Celebi: has 600 BST, Recover + Natural Cure. Yeah, that's ridic.
Roserade: Movepool + the stats to work with it-- Toxic Spikes, Spikes and Sleep Powder (+ Natural Cure). Can you imagine if this thing had been a water type instead of grass with the same movepool (with water STAB and Ice beam)? It'd have been INSANE.
If these pokes had been blessed with a typing other than grass, they would have been top OUs in my opinion.
