So this has been going on for a little while, but just as a reminder and not to confuse the two, but speculation about new types (i.e Machine, Wind, etc., etc.) can be directed and discussed over in the "An introduction of new types...?" thread. This thread here is just for speculation about new Pokémon ideas and type combinations [that haven't been used yet].

Just to kind of carry the topic away from that, I'd love to see an Electric/Grass type. I have no idea what I would even base it off of, but I just really want to see one. Only weak to Fire and Ice, but neutral to pretty much everything else for the most part.

Also immune to Psychic, but that is pretty much fine. It's coverage isn't fantastic but it's STAB would hit everything except Dark and Steel for at least neutral damage. Not too shabby, plus it's super-effective hits are very shallow, so no big deal!

Kurapika March 21st, 2013 6:56 PM

Dark+Psychic can be really funny and awesome. It would fit with some nasty mind controller (kind of Hypno's cousin :D) with rattled and a focus sash and some uber spatk it can probably be a beast, especially if it can learn some fire and/or fighting move, hmm....

Grass+Electric can be good a good tank, or with serene grace + introducing some grass move that can inflict some status alitement or let it be able to learn leaf blade and wild charge hmm...

Jake♫ March 21st, 2013 7:45 PM

I could definitely see the Grass/Electric type being a solid offensive Pokémon. It has two types that compliment each other with great synergy, so it could definitely hit stuff with a wide range of moves. It could have things on the special spectrum (Giga Drain, Thunderbolt), and physical spectrum (Wild Charge, maybe Leaf Blade?), so it could be pretty versatile.

Archeops12354 March 22nd, 2013 4:48 AM

Electric/Grass, hmm interesting type combination, I like it!
I found a (fanmade) grass/electric pokemon on Google images and I thought it was pretty cool:


It looks like a special attacker but I think it could learn leaf blade.
I also made my own evo for this poke, it's called Lillamp (Lilly and lamp), stats:

Hp: 120
Atk: 90
Def: 100
SpAtk: 105
SpDef: 120
Spd 5
BST: 540

A special wall, and a physical wall to some extent, and is also has decent special attack as well as mediocre attack. It's speed is just horrible though. Maybe it could be offensive instead?

Hp: 60
Atk: 130
Def: 65
SpAtk: 95
SpDef: 70
Spd 120
BST: 540

Physical sweeper with OK special attack, but terrible defenses. :(
Powerful, but one ice shard will take it out easy.

Cerberus87 March 22nd, 2013 5:27 AM

I'd love an Ice/Rock Pokémon, but it would need to have Tyranitar-like stats to be even remotely viable. Weak to Stealth Rock, 4x weak to Fighting, 4x weak to Bullet Punch, not a very good defensive type at all.

Ho-Oh March 22nd, 2013 5:35 AM

It can be viable in the lower tiers, though, given that Bullet Punch doesn't exist there. Would also have an interesting design likely, too. :3

Jake♫ March 22nd, 2013 11:10 AM

Only problem is that it's still weak to the common Mach Punch down there =P But I do think that it would potentially look awesome!

LittleCubone March 22nd, 2013 12:22 PM

I personally would like to see a bunch of Big Cat pokemon. Tiger, Lion, Jaguar, Cheetah, Panther. I love the Killer Whale idea. Though when I see Kyogre, that's what I imagine to be as close to a Killer Whale as they'll get. Also I would love to see some mythical creatures. Centaur, Mermaid, Sphinx, Griphon, Pegasus. Bigfoot. Haha.

Kurapika March 22nd, 2013 4:35 PM

Since the 6th Gen is based, apparently, on Europe, odds are that we'll see some Pokes based on mythical creatures, Sylveon is already a "nymph" it seems.

They still did put them in, I mean Sigilyph is based off of the Nazca lines which is a myth itself. Litwick is similar to a Will-o-the-wisp based on Pokedex about it sucking out your soul and getting a larger flame. Even Jellicent and Frillish are loosely based on krakens where their "they drag ships and sailors down into the depths where they drown" sorta info.

Volcarona is also based off some myth about the Sun. It gets smaller, but they still keep the myth thing going.

Euorpe wise and America are harder to do due to less myths, though if Europe I'm praying for some Minotaur.

Ghost/Dragon. A strange combination, but it'd have such a cool design concept of some sort. @[email protected]

Didn't Giratina had that combination?

XP I know not what you meant but the general structure is similar. If Ghost and Dragon, I'd kinda want something a little more dark. Like a Dragon that steals Souls or devours worlds (Alduin mode activate!)

Zombie-esque designs are kinda overdone in society. Necromancer Dragon would be cool though.

jov0006 March 23rd, 2013 10:47 PM

I want a Grriffon, hopefully pure Flying.

Ho-Oh March 24th, 2013 12:31 AM

For a griffon I can't help but think it'd be part fire, mainly because that's what a phoenix is like, and I assume they'd be all... similar? But fire/flying for a non-legendary but an actual bird and not Charizard would be awesome.

Disable/Encore
 
There should be a new Pokémon that should learn both Disable and Encore. There aren't any in the current 5 Generations that can learn BOTH those moves (without the use of Sketch). I would be cheesed off if GameFreak doesn't.

Guy March 24th, 2013 1:06 PM

No need for this to be a topic on its own, so I'm kicking this over into the New Pokémon Spec. thread.

Maybe! I'm kind of interested in Pokemon that can work outside of singles being introduced. Like something made for doubles etc to make everything more interesting.

Iqid Loopz March 25th, 2013 10:34 AM

I was think a Pokemon with the combination of a cola bottle and a Hulk Inspired Pokemon.

Imagine a cute and tiny Pokemon that looks like or close to a soda bottle. A Pokemon that produces Soda. Taste amazing, but the after taste is just horrible. People get mad shake the Pokemon in anger. Building its anger, but it's nature is Forgiving. But if the Soda Bottle Pokemon gets shaken and angered to the max. It will evolve into an Angry Soda Pokemon. Imagine a cola bottle being dunked with mentos with a very very angry face, extremely strong, and hella erupting sticking-foamy-cola of teeth-eroding destruction.

Expro March 25th, 2013 3:17 PM

I want a sudowoodo evolution that looks like a grand oak tree with huge trunk arms. I also want to see a legit wolf Pokemon that can take on Zoroark and the whole fox clan. I'm digging that ice/flying owl idea.

Logiedan March 25th, 2013 5:06 PM

I still think Jynx should get an evolution. And I'm hoping they come up with something clever regarding more counter-types such as a Pokemon that is Fire/Water (kind of like the move Scald), Grass/Fire, Ice/Electric. They did a great job with Water/Electric with Lanturn, maybe they can come up with something amazing again.

Jake♫ March 25th, 2013 6:51 PM

I agree whole-heartedly. I'd love to see more contradicting types being used more as dual types. Lanturn was indeed fantastic, so I'd love to see some more stuff along those lines (especially Fire/Grass)!

Ice/Electric I'd imagine would likely be special, because Wild Charge and non-accurate Ice moves would kind of limit the usefulness of this Pokemon :'(

Kurapika March 29th, 2013 12:17 PM

Altough it will probably not happen... I wish Steel type will lose its immunity to Poison type and be only immune to Poison status.
(Steel should normally be weak to Acid moves...)
