I'm inclined to think that Sky Battles will be a one-shot thing when and if they're showcased.
No one. It's less important for the female lead's team to be elementally balanced because their goal usually doesn't involve taking on Gyms or fighting in Tournaments like the Pokemon League.
All but two of Misty's Pokemon were Water Type.
May had a Normal Type slant.
Dawn had a fairly diverse team, but seemed to favor Normal Pokemon and Ice Moves.
Iris had a Dragon Type slant.
What seems to be more important for the girl is to capture cute or marketable Pokemon and keep them that way for as long as possible. For that reason our girls usually go through an unusual growth spurt not long after leaving the cast to evolve their little babies or catch Pokemon they couldn't while traveling with the group.
I'm not really arguing against Skiddo for Serena. I'm just trying to explain that the girls don't build their teams the same way Ash does. So unless they're a self declared wannabe Master of a particular type they don't really " need " a type.
Now guess who also needs a grass type??
