Best attacker against each type

Game press has got 2 guides about the best attackers per type. I think it should have one for best attacker against each type, for example; rock is weak to ground, grass, water and fighting, so of Machamp, groudon, eggy and kyogre which is the best against pure rock types. (that's not my question). What do you guys think of this idea

Not a terrible idea or anything, but it would be a very large guide for a pretty small amount of information. Lots of Pokemon are also Multi-type (which puts some weaknesses ahead of others), and other Pokemon have moves that cover certain counters but don't cover others (For example, Groudon having Solarbeam would mean that you don't use Vaporeons - it having Fire Blast would mean you don't use Solarbeam mons). Weather is often a factor too, as I will prioritize Exeggcutors in Kyogre Raids with Clear weather, and Electric types in all other weather conditions.

Sometimes the question may be as simple as Exeggcutor having higher DPS than Rhydon against a Pokemon such as Golem, but it's often less cut-and-dry than that.

When considering survivability and DPS:
Normal – Machamp/Hariyama
Fighting – Mewtwo
Flying – Raikou
Poison – Mewtwo
Ground – Kyogre
Rock – Kyogre/Machamp/Hariyama
Bug – Moltres
Ghost – Tyranitar
Steel – Moltres/Entei/Machamp
Fire – Kyogre
Water – Raikou/Sceptile/Exeggutor
Grass – Moltres
Electric – Groudon
Psychic – Gengar/Scizor/Tyranitar
Ice – Entei/Machamp/Hariyama
Dragon – Gardevoir/Cloyster/Jynx/Lapras/Walrein/Piloswine
Dark – Machamp/Hariyama
Fairy – Aggron/Scizor/Muk
Note that this does not consider coverage moves and Pokémon with multiple types.

Raikou should be the top against water and Machamp is on par with Moltres and Entei against ice, lower TDO though.
