Three-Type Advantage Cycles

ChaosMage

Izit cuz I is black?
A type advantage chain is basically a chain of types where each one is super-effective against the previous one

eg:

Fire<Water<Electric<Ground<Grass<Flying<Rock

and so on

A type advantage cycle is where the chain eventually starts to repeat itself

eg:

Fire<Water<Electric<Ground<Grass<Fire<Water

and so on

There are a handful of cycles involving only three types, and I hope to find them all in this thread.

The main one, which is the basic starter cycle, is Fire<Water<Grass<Fire etc.

Others include;
Fighting<Psychic<Dark<Fighting
Water<Electric<Ground<Water

Anyone know any others?

NOTE: resistance to a type is not included in these cycles. Ideally, an attack of each type should be super-effective against the previous. If you want to add resistance cycles, they should be treated as independant to these cycles. This is because you should not use "Lesser Than (<)" and "Greater Than (>)" signs together in the same chain.

Pinin' for the fjord
Flying < Rock < Fighting < Flying

Which, I believe, is the only other cycle incorporating attacks of the same type: it's purely physical. The "special cycle" is fire < water < grass < fire; I'm pretty sure all the other cycles are mixed.

I wrote them all out, but I included resistances. I believe there's a few dozen, but most of them are resistances or include resistances. Here's the attacking ones alone:

psychic > fighting > dark

fighting > ice > flying
fighting > rock > flying

fire > steel > rock (this one works with resistances AND attacks)
fire > grass > rock
fire > grass > ground
fire > ice > ground

ice > ground > steel
ice > ground > rock
ice > grass > rock

rock > flying > grass
rock > bug > grass

water > ground > electric

ground > poison > grass

And of course:

grass > water > fire

... and I think that's all of them, for attack at least. Oh wait:

ghost > ghost > ghost

:p

EDIT: Oh wait, I forgot

dragon > dragong > dragon

:D
