A deck could easily have 4-5 different types of Pokémon cards in it.
All you need to do is add a few Holon's Castform and some Multi Energy, and you could use all 9 types in one deck.
But the real question is, how many different types of energy does your deck need to include to be able to do everything that you want from your deck.
Usually people who play a lot of different types of Pokémon only play 1-2 different types of basic energy in their deck, along with 1-2 different types of special energy cards (such as: Rainbow energy, Holon's Castform and Scramble energy.)
Psychic and Lightning are the two best types out there right now, and Darkness is a close third from what I've seen.

I agree because Darkness has become Basic energies, so a lot of Darkness deck base around Shiftry & maybe other pokemon is coming up...
*cough* Darkrai LVL X + Weavile ;D
Anyway, I never really liked Psychic, 'cept Banette ex...but Lightning has always been awesome, Ray ex d for instance...oh, and Fire is getting bigger as well, with Magmortar and Infernape.
But back to your question, try a Garchomp deck with all 9 types of energy, it'll astonish you. Just add some Energy Search and Smeargle DP3...

Dont go over 5 or maybe six if you know what your doing. Never try to have in all 8 types, anything from 2 to 4 works fine. IN my deck, i have water, fighting, metal, elecetrick and psychic, and it can get complicated when you use up all your multi/rainbow energies. 4 is enough, no more unless its vital. Five energies only works well when you can cover all your weaknesses, for example, fire, water electrick, fighting, grass. Water covers fire, electrick covers water, fighting cover electrick, grass covers fighting, and fire covers gras... ect.
Dont just play types that dont work well together in a five energy deck. Eg: fire, dark, psychich, elecktrick and metal. None of the weaknesses are coverd.(exept metal)
just because the theme decks have 2 types, doesn't mean good decks should.

Why would you need to cover weaknesses when you have 5 different types anyway? If your Pokemon seems weak to the opponent, you can just switch it.
No, multi-type decks have the huge advantage of the fact that most types have different weaknesses.

Fighting and Psychic are controlling the current metagame, with who-knows-what being next year. But if you're looking for right now, those two types are what's big.

The best types? Well there is no best types, each type has their own uber-broken-mega-chocolatey-coated-h4x-card. It all depends on what everyone is running in your area. I would try Fire and Lightning, and maybe throw in a little bit of water if you are crazy enough. They can usually be a good combination and bail each other out of their weaknesses.
