For reasons I stated in the discussions thread. You can't ignore that resistance!

Steel/Ghost for me.

Although the logic of moi made perfect sense by adding some weaknesses, allowing a Pokemon to be used for being attacked by a type of move weak to it rather than any Pokemon's strongest neutral attack due to the great coverability by Steel/Ghost, Steel/Ghost still is a very durable typing combo that allow this Pokemon to be able to survive long. If given great defenses, this thing can simply use Roar or Whirlwind to scout rather than forcing switches. In other words, just simply a different method of scouting.
Moreso, most Pokemon have more than 1 way of destribution or EV spread. Salamence, for example, can be bulky, physical sweeper or special sweeper. Our Scoutmon should also be the same. It should NOT be only good for Scouting and nothing else. If people choose to not use it for scouting, but instead, using it for something else, although not the primary purpose of this Pokemon, thus not doing whatever other job to its maximum ability, this Pokemon should still be able to be used in another way other than Scouting, or maybe Scouting + more.

I really like the possibilities of Grass, but it doesn't look like Grass has a chance anyway.
