That's definitely true. I don't have much experience with Rock or Steel-types, but if you're looking for dual types, Omastar and Kabutops are both useful. They're both Rock and Water-types and they're both intimidating looking. I guess they're a little on the small side though. Maybe a Steelix would be what you're looking for? It's a Steel and Ground-type, I think.
sorry I'm so slow
