Spacing between bars or labels

so I'm trying to set the spacing between x labels or somehow make spaces between every bar in every subplot in the chart so that they wouln't overlap eachother even a little bit. I've tried rotating but some of the x labels are still overlapping and it doesn't look right. How can I make it more visually appealing?

g=sns.factorplot(x='type1', col='type2',col_wrap=3, data=dframe, kind='count', sharex=False, sharey=False, palette=pokemon_color_palette)

for ax in g.axes.flat:
    for label in ax.get_xticklabels():
        label.set_rotation(60)


for ax in g.axes.flat:
    ax.set_xlabel('type1', color='indianred')

plt.tight_layout()

Why do not you turn the labels 90°? That way they will never overlap.

    label.set_rotation(60)

Result:

Also you could not show the xlabel when there is no pokemon with those types.

Why don't you shrink the size of the tick labels.

ax.tick_params(axis='x', labelsize=10)
