What would you say the best moves (or your favorites) for each type? For me, I like these:
Flamethrower, Fire
Surf, Water
Giga Drain, Grass
Megahorn, Bug
Psychic, Psychic
Dark Pulse, Dark
Shadow Ball, Ghost
Aura Sphere, Fighting
Stone Edge, Rock
Earthquake, Ground
Ice Beam, Ice
Thunderbolt, Electric
Dragon Pulse, Dragon
Sludge Bomb, Poison
Fly, Flying
Flash Cannon, Steel
and finally, Normal. I'm really not sure about this one, so I'll go with Judgement. Even though only two Pokemon can learn it.

Fire Blast - Fire
Hydro Pump - Water
Grass Knot - Grass

Shadow Ball - Ghost
Aura Sphere - Fighting
