Most people go like this:
"Oh well, they used the original 3 types for gen I and II and then fucked up by using some random stuff golems onward"
Which is not true as Suicune is Water, not Ice.

Long ago, I noticed that they actually had a pattern behind the types for legendary trios,
which alternatingly adds 1 or 2 more types, while not using any type more than twice.
This creates 8 unique trios. Which is enough for a thousand pokemon.
And even after the thousand, you can just pick a different combination of starting types and get 8 more.

The pic should be clear enough on how it works.

I noticed it after seeing the golems in gen III, so it was possible to figure out that the next trio would be Rock, Steel and something fresh. Which turned out to be Grass: Virizion.

Gen VI prediction
Right now all we see for next generation is that one will be Water, and the other 2 both something that was not used before.
If we ignore
Normal,

Bug because its useful as an extra type
,
and Dragon because it has enough use on the big trios (last 2 generations each had a trio of Dragons as mascots! With Rayquaza just before (well actually 6 but Kyurem is coming, then it'll be 7.))

that leaves us with:
Ground

Ghost

Psychic

Dark

Poison

The amazing part of this is that Gamefreak are always able to pick such new types that the trio feels like an interesting combination.
I cannot wait to see what they come up with next

Personally I would continue it like this:
VI - Ground - Water - Ghost
representing different states of matter. With a Keldeo-like plasma legendary.
VII - Poison - Ghost - Ground
an idea I have for these is making them like antagonists of the musketeers, by making them all /Dark
