You are so right about that Rice as of training Slyveon I notice it has Nice Sp.Attack/Defence; Avarage physical defence and speed; Low Attack power.
to me Fairy types are like psychic-types they rely on mostly Sp.stats unless they have moves to bump thier defence like Reflect.
Poison types are useless especially against Psychic/Rock/Ground/Steel types but they do have good Sp.defences against element types (Fire/Water/Electric)
Steel-types are good is just alot of people considered them useless since most steel pokemon don't have good speed stats
Both steel and dark types came around 2nd Gen it wasn't that many of them though until gen3 and gen4.
Okay I'll see what I can do I might be lucky enough and get you a Shiny Onyx though i know its going to be 1/1,000,000 chance thats going to happen =P
