I don't think Alder has a certain type. Sure he has three bugs, but notice two of them are sort of related - Accelgor and Escavilier. The two you need to trade with each other to evolve. He also has a Vulcarona, which is a very rare species you can only get in two places. It's not unusual for a champion to have rare Pokemon with odd methods of aquiring them. Stephen Stone had fossils and Metagross, Cynthia had Spiritomb and Lucario, and Alder has Accelgor, Escavilier, and Volcarona.

In my opinion the champion characters are made out to be as similar to the player character as possible with no restriction to types only preference, to present an independence of sorts to give the feeling of the champions starting out like the player at some point. Although this is just a speculation of the way Game Freak wanted to present the "best trainer" in the region as.

Way to completely deviate from the topic and state the obvious. We know Alder doesn't exist, we don't need you to tell us.

You're right, Steven has half steels and Alder has half bugs. They have a preferred type but are willing to use other types on their team.

Alder should have Accelgor OR Escavalier, not both. Adding a Psychic pokemon wont hurt either, Dark pokemon can also help.

take a byte
sure, Alder has three bug-types on his team (Volcarona, Excavalier, and Accelgor), but that doesn't mean he's a Bug-type Chmapion. Don't forget the other half of his team: Druddigon, Bouffalant, and Vanilluxe. Which reminds me, you could easily wreck Alder's whole team if you had an Emboar . . .

Still a hater. I beat his team with ONLY a Samurott.

Anyways... all you need is a Dragon-type that knows one Fire-type move, one Dragon-type move, and one Fighting-type move. *coughs*Hydregion*coughs*.

You'd probably need a Rock type move in there as well for Volcarona.

Not true. His wandering could have been after he became champion, but the so-called denying of the spot of champion is in place so that the player can still enjoy the game even after they beat it, as it wouldn't make sense for the rest of their in-game life to be responding to challenges.
