A lot in the games is left to chance and while some types are stronger than others, sometimes we can luck out in unexpected types (often catch pokemon with correct natures, have easier time catching them, etc) compared to what 'should be'. I'll give you an example.
Grass is considered 'the weak type' but this is OPPOSITE from what I experienced in my games. I've been very lucky with them, to the point that once in Platinum my Tangrowth fought fire type elite member (and won!!!) Grass is the only type I ever did a monotype run of (and succeeded beating the champion in Ruby/Sapphire). On the other hand, Psychic types are considered overpowered but I just can't seem to make them work....
I LOVE them but have worst luck with them. And for poison types, it's even worse. One of my toxicroaks (half fighting type, dammit!) fainted from everything like a complete pansy. And for the most part, no matter how much I try to utilize poison types, I fail! But Dark type, which is notoriously fragile, seems to work well for me for some reason, in every game!
Overall, types I consider 'lucky' are:
Grass
Dark
Flying
And types I just can't make work are:
Poison
Psychic
Rock
Do you have lucky and unlucky types? Did some of them surprise you?
