I’ve been diving into the world of Pokémon and stumbled across some pretty interesting info about Pokémon types and their durability. It got me thinking—what if we put that information to the test in a fun little challenge?

So, here’s the scenario: imagine you’re putting together a team of Pokémon to face off against an elite group of trainers in a sort of ultimate showdown. You have the option to choose from the 18 different types, but here’s the twist: you want your team to be as durable as possible. You know, you want those Pokémon that can really take a hit and not go down easy.

Now, based on the type matchups and the damage reductions from various attacks, we know that some types are just better at tanking hits than others. Think about it: which types have the best resistances? Which ones have weaknesses that can be minimized? For example, Steel-type Pokémon have a massive resistance to a ton of types, making them sturdy contenders. But what about dual types? Could a combination give you the edge you need in terms of durability?

Here’s the challenge I propose: build a team of six Pokémon where the collective durability is maximized. You can use any Pokémon from any generation, but I’d love to see some thought put into which types and combinations you choose. How do they stack up against common offensive types? Are there surprising picks that you think could thrive in this scenario?

Let’s throw around some ideas! Maybe share what your ultimate durable team looks like and why you think it could stand against the fiercest of opponents. Also, feel free to sprinkle in some stats or analysis to back up your choices. I’m really curious to see what creative combos you all come up with—after all, who wouldn’t want a Pokémon squad that can just soak up damage like a sponge? Can’t wait to see your teams!
