That's actually somewhat Ironic, as Hohahihehu did the exact same think, except reversed. So it's like you actually did vote for the one you wanted. You preformed each others votes for each other. o.oDude, what is with me, I misclicked again...
Meant for Somewhat Offensive (voted somewhat defensive by mistake, fuck), though the arguments are good on the other end (I'm bitter about more fucking defensive options).
I guess I can see what your saying, but Electric/Dragon also packs some nice resistances as well (or so is said numerous times. Don't remember them off the top of my head, and too tired to check...), to make up for it in some respects. A great-enough ability can also almost completely make up for it, potentially. Plus, Somewhat Defensive still has the ability to do some okay attacking. It's solid, if you ask me...I know this typing looks like an interesting combo to go defensive -- but it's weak to the most popular offensive move in the game (Earthquake), the most fearsome offensive type in the game (Dragon, with Outrage and Draco Meteor), and the offensive type that every team packs specifically for handling Dragons (Ice).
Resists Water, Fire, Grass, Electric (4x), Steel and Flying, for reference to anyone that wants to know.I guess I can see what your saying, but Electric/Dragon also packs some nice resistances as well (or so is said numerous times.

Oh cool, then it all balances out. I'm no longer beating myself up (as bad, but seriously misclicking is so stupid -_-)That's actually somewhat Ironic, as Hohahihehu did the exact same think, except reversed.

2 of the worst defensive types?! They aren't the best, but certainly not the worst, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that Dragon has the second highest amount of resistances.Somewhat offensive, we're using possibly the best 2 attacking types, and 2 of the worst defensive typings imo. We really won't want to be switching this in, and I'd rather use a fast quick sweeper, opposed to a bulky sweeper who takes neutral from everything. Usually bulky sweepers play off immunities etc, something this guy won't have.
I think that the main reason that people do want to go defensive is that we want to make something different, as we already have enough offensive Dragons.I know this typing looks like an interesting combo to go defensive -- but it's weak to the most popular offensive move in the game (Earthquake), the most fearsome offensive type in the game (Dragon, with Outrage and Draco Meteor), and the offensive type that every team packs specifically for handling Dragons (Ice). This pokemon is not going to want to switch in much, because it won't get many chances to come in safely. It's reasonable to believe that this pokemon could have trouble coming in on roughly 4 pokemon on EVERY team. I'm all for a challenge, and bucking convention and all -- but making this pokemon defensive is just too much of an uphill battle.
Let's go Somewhat Offensive with this. We can switch in by taking advantage of a few nifty defensive matchups we get from our unique typing, and then take control of the battle with some good-ole offensive sweepage!
I would think we have enough defensive CAPs :PI think that the main reason that people do want to go defensive is that we want to make something different, as we already have enough offensive Dragons.
If you replace Earthquake with Pursuit (TTar/Weavile) and U-Turn(Jirachi/Scizor), exactly what in your first paragraph does not apply to Latias to an even greater extent? Dragon is a double-edged sword, and Dragons tend not to switch into other Dragons. Defensive does not mean its offense must be impotent, as no Dragon bar perhaps Max/Max Latias would enjoy eating a potential Draco Meteor, and only Flygon relishes the prospect of coming in on Discharge or Thunder Wave.I know this typing looks like an interesting combo to go defensive -- but it's weak to the most popular offensive move in the game (Earthquake), the most fearsome offensive type in the game (Dragon, with Outrage and Draco Meteor), and the offensive type that every team packs specifically for handling Dragons (Ice).

Fidget has a somewhat defensive build and is weak to both EQ and Ice. I wouldn't worry about dragon because I'd assume a dragon type wouldn't want to switch into a dragon type. Exactly what ice moves are popular anyway, is it HP Ice or Ice Punch? I'd only worry about it getting ruined by ice if it was getting hit by Ice Beam because of how weak the former moves are. Also, as far as carrying ice to handle dragons it's all to hit for dual weakness, not a regular one. The only weakness I can see here that could be seriously bothersome is EQ, but I know it's not impossible to get over.I know this typing looks like an interesting combo to go defensive -- but it's weak to the most popular offensive move in the game (Earthquake), the most fearsome offensive type in the game (Dragon, with Outrage and Draco Meteor), and the offensive type that every team packs specifically for handling Dragons (Ice).
