Like I said, Toxapex not only topped my previous winners Mawile and Gengar, but changed my favorite type. For two reasons.

1. Water's two weaknesses are easy to counter (three if you count Freeze Dry).


 * Grass - Dude has like 5 weaknesses. Fire, flying, bug, ice, poison. Maybe more.


 * Electric - Electric hasn't got a lot going for it, and are predictable. Plus, ground types eat them for breakfast.


 * Ice - Steel, fire, rock, fighting... Gosh, it's almost as bad as grass. Nice coverage for the waters, though - water types get their coverage fix from ice type moves.

2. Water types are a great asset to any team anyway, and in most main games, you NEED one to survive - usually for HMs, or just for future challenges.
