X-Act
np: Biffy Clyro - Shock Shock
To be honest, I'm disappointed for two reasons.
Reason 1 is that I go to sleep, come back, and see the secondary type thread is CLOSED. I'm sure that thread didn't take more than 24 hours to be created and be closed. Wtf? I live in a different timezone than most of you, dammit. Please consider that. :(
Reason 2 is the secondary typing choice available, since I hate both, to be honest. The two biggest threats to Togekiss are Zapdos and Rotom-A, both of which have powerful Thunderbolts. Other people have obviously talk about this already. I don't see how Fighting/Dark or Fighting/Rock can switch into Zapdos and Rotom-A... CAP11 will just take a full-force STAB Thunderbolt on the switch... you don't need to be a genius to predict that. Okay, so it's not weak to it, but it's not resistant either. Unless you guys are already planning to give this thing something like Motor Drive or Volt Absorb (or Wonder Guard lol) to take care of this, I really do think that this CAP has not started on the right footing.
Or maybe I should think of this the other way: CAP11 is out, and it paves the way for Togekiss to come in. For what's worth, Zapdos can still switch in on the Fighting/Dark CAP11, especially on a predicted Fighting move, with relative impunity, and start firing Thunderbolts left right and centre even without waiting for Togekiss to come in. If the Fighting/Rock variety wins, then Rotom-A can still switch in (with even more impunity, since a Fighting move does zero to it). Even worse, it can Hydro Pump or Leaf Storm poor Fighting/Rock CAP11 if it is of the appropriate form...
I really wish I'm wrong in my analysis, but, right now, I really do not see how CAP11 will become Togekiss' perfect partner if it can neither switch into Zapdos/Rotom-A, nor setup Togekiss effectively. So please, if I'm wrong, do illuminate me.
