A steelpokemon like that metal spider or steelix would be good for example?

Ouch, not at all! Steel-types are weak against Ground. Also, they aren't resistant to Water, so Steelix would give you a 3x Water weakness.

The steel spider, on the other hand...I don't recall that one, but is it Steel/Bug like Scizor and Forretress? If it is, it's not weak against Ground because bugs resist Ground. In fact, Bug/Steel types only have one defensive weakness: fire.

I really should start learning that stuff myself .. Past days playing Pearl still had to call my lil' brother to ask him what was effective against what type and all.
I always really did like scyter, so scizor would be a real good option for me. Also, I'm not that sure about Gyarados, he's cool, but I never really fought with one before, since I actually don't like watertypes too much. What is the name of that waterpokemon that was really rare to catch in r/s/e, there were only some 'piles' in that water near that route where it was raining all the time where you could find it, randomly different for every cardridge?
