My Pokemon team, at the moment, has a lot of offensive heroes, but lacks quite a bit in defense. So, which types are the most defensive? (which types have the most immunities/resistances)

Best Answer
Short Answer: Steel Pokemon have the most resistances, and high defensive stats too. Many pokemon have only 1 weakness, but Eelektross has zero due to its ability, and can be aquired in Pokemon Sun and Moon using the Island Scan on Poni Island on Sunday.
Full answer in terms of both Monotype and Dual-Type pokemon, and looking at Abilities as well.
First Monotype pokemon
Types with the most Resistances and Immunities
Types with the fewest Weaknesses
Types with most Net defenses (Resistances and Immunities minus Weaknesses)
There are a significant number of dual-type combinations, so this list will be less exhaustive. Below are notable Dual Types with particularly few Weaknesses, or many Resistances. Note that most dual steel types have many resistances.
Special Mention of Shedinja, due to Wonder Guard granting it 13 immunities, and only 5 weaknesses
