[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

Typing just doesn't mean as much in general if you have sufficiently large damage pools and high enough defenses. Or the moves have just enough utility to make them worth using regardless of type (like Inferno's Burn chance or Electroweb's Dex drop)

I'll say that the scariest pokemon are ones that have a good synergy with a strategy of some kind (Grid and Calam), ones with many different options for how they attack and support (Gallade is going to fill this niche nicely), and ones that are incredibly difficult to wear down without losing 2 or 3 pokemon in the process at least (Solomon and Mamo kinda fit, but Aspis is a FAR better example here. Monsters like Milotic and other pokemon with 20+ base HP also easily fit here)
