If you were a Gym leader and had to choose a type - Helmo - 06-09-2009
What would it be? I'd go with poison, now that there are ways around thier major weaknesses(psyhic, and steel) they're not that bad.
Skuntank is part dark for psychics and can learn flamethrower for those pesky steel types.
Toxicroak has fighting for steels.
Drapion is like Skuntank, and can use bug.
Roserade for Water, and ground.
Gengar for ground, and some psychic.
Crobat for speed, and X-scizzor.
Maybe Nidoking, Tentacruel, or seviper for others.
Maybe Normal for few weaknesses
Porygon-Z for high specialatk ( give him HB, a normal type boosting item, download, plus his normal type boost makes normal attacks 1 hit KOs)
Ursaring for power
Girafarig for fighting weakness
Snorlax for power and endurance
Slaking for awesome stats
and Zangoose, he's badass and has good stats and moves

I'd go with a combination of Fire and Water.
Gyarados has a fucking awesome move set. Thunder, Twister, Hydro Pump, Rock Smash.

Ice was always my personal favorite. Ice is one of the strongest offensive typings in the metagame too, since it knocks all the Dragons down a peg. Defensively, it's shit though, resisting only itself.
I would base the team after a hail team I used when I used to play Pearl on wifi:
-Abomasnow: Starts up hail and is decently powerful. Equipped with a focus sash to deal with Infernape leads who like to Flame Wheel on the first turn while Abomasnow survives, uses Earthquake and if the enemy doesn't faint, Ice Shard on the next turn for a quick KO.
-Froslass: One of the most rewarding to play as. Snow Cloak ability raises her evasion in Hail. I also use Attract and Confusion to further increase my chances of avoiding damage. Froslass' main asset is her phenomenal speed, and outspeeds most enemy pokemon. Equipped with brightpowder to further raise evasion.
-Walrein: Walrein is a great staller in Hail thanks to his bulk and Ice heal ability. Invest enough in his defenses and use toxic to slowly whittle away your opponent while you recover off damage with ease.
-Regice: Curse make Regice beastly. He already has great special defense, so increasing his attack and defense with Curse enough times will make him nigh impossible to take down.
-Mamoswine: The main heavy hitter of the team. The ultimate dragon killer as a full attack Mamoswine will always OHKO Salamences, Dragonites, and Garchomps with Ice Shard.
Unfortunately, Ice always has that glaring Fire weakness, but Wallrein is usually pumped up with enough EVs to send them on their way.
And if we're battling on Shoddy, Put Syclant in the sixth slot. He's a mixed sweeping Ice/Bug type who can put BLissey out of commision with Superpower.

Fire. I've always liked Fire type, and it's really unfortunate that Nintendo doesn't like making Fire type work in Pokemon games, you know, with the plethora of weaknesses and the addition of Stealth Rock in D/P.
Team:
Charizard
Houndoom
Magmortar
Infernape
Typhlosion
