Are there any Pokemon that can be super-effective versus 14 types?
Besides gliscor/gligar (ice, fight, ground, flying). These two are the only pokemon I could find that are able to have a moveset that’s strong versus 14 of the 17 type (excludes water, psychic and ghost).
I’m wondering if there are any other pokemon out there that can be strong versus 14 (or more) of the 17 basic types.
(Not including Smeargle of course. )

This question intrigued me so much, I wrote myself a little program to work out what the best 4 types are!! The answer I came up with is the same you have -14 types. You can’t get any more coverage than that. There are 3 combinations:
So if you want move combinations, clearly the typesIce, Fighting, Groundare the best way to go. They appeared in most of the high numbers (e.g. Ice, Fighting, Ground, Psychic is SE against 13 types).
As for actual Pokemon that can learn good moves of those types… well that’s another challenge. There are a few as already mentioned: Gliscor, Beartic, Weavile, Gallade, Electivire. I’m sure there are many.
Electivire can be strong against13types with this moveset, plus he is fast and has a decent attack, plus with an expert belt can make it a good lead
Wild Charge
Earthquake
Cross Chop
Ice punch
I have not found any movesets that are good against more than 14/17, but I have derived that Ice, Ground, Dark and Fighting, are also strong against 14 types (excluding Bug, water, and fighting). Surprisingly few pokemon can learn it with decent moves that support their better attack vs sp attack stat, but two that I have found are Gallade and Lucario. I expect there are others that can learn this type pattern. There certainly are when you comprimise whether you want a special or physical move.
Gallade or LucarioE-quake
Ice Punch (gIV tutor)
Close Combat/ fighting move of choice
Night Slash
I don’t know if this helped you at all, but I hope it did.
How about Beartic that can learn:Egg move Night Slash;Egg move Avalanche;Dig;Superpower;Aerial Ace;it can learn moveset that strong to fight all types(except water),,(of course if 5 movesets is allowed,,:p) but it is have a movesets that are strong to fight 14 types,,just choose the moveset u like (to me it is ground(dig);fight(superpower);Ice (Avalance); and dark(Night Slash))how’s this?
I’d go with Poliwrath it can have Fighting/Ground/Ice/Dark but it’s also got water absorb so it means it doesn’t have to be super effective against water types.
