A new three-way set. Like Psychic, Dark, Fighting.

There's no other three-way set that has the resistance and weakness that Grass, Fire and Water have.

That would be inbalanced as Dark is immune to Psychic attacks.

Then it could be balanced by giving it a 4x Weakness by creating a Dark/Ice starter.

I actually like the idea of a new three-way set. It won't have the same resistances and weaknesses of the used Trio, but that's the entire point. Game Freak can tweak the balance by giving us new pairings or some pairings that can keep the same balance.

Or, ultimately, they could change the Battle properties as they did in II generation. Who's to know?

In the end though, the most logical conclusion is that it's going to stay Grass, Water and Fire.
