Can I have listed of dual-type Pokemon that have only one weakness (typewise)?

For example:
Spiritomb - Only weak against fairy
Sableye - Only weak to Fairy
Those are the only Pokemon that come to my mind.

The question says typewise, which means that the asker doesn't care if the dual-typed Pokemon has an ability that allows it to have only one weakness.

Just found this and I've got a bit of new info that could be useful.

As mentioned, Alolan Muk falls into the same category as Drapion and Skuntank, but Genesect should also be included with the Bug/Steels.

While in the same vein as Rotom-Wash, Weezing with Levitate is only weak to Psychic and Seaking with Lightning Rod is only weak to Grass, but for historic reference, Bronzong had only 2 weaknesses (prior to Steel's loss of Ghost and Dark resistances in Gen 6), each of which was neutralized/negated by one of it's abilities (Heatproof neutralized Fire and Levitate negated Ground) and Ghost/Dark had 0 weaknesses prior to Fairy's introduction in Gen 6.

As far as Pokemon with single weaknesses based on typing alone (not ability) there are only 5 possibilities with the current type chart and we have 4 of them (Bug/Steel, Water/Ground, Poison/Dark, and Ghost/Dark); the 5th would be a Normal/Ghost and would be weak to Dark only.

As side mention, pure Electric and Normal Pokemon naturally only have 1 weakness each (Ground and Fighting respectively) and there is only 1 Pokemon family with no weaknesses still to this day: Eelektross (because pure-Electric with Levitate), but is irrelevant due to being cut from Gen 8 at this time.
