New type?
 
After the surprise in X and Y, do you think this new games will bring a new type?

My friends speculations (old speculations, but they do make sens now) it would be nice to have a Cosmos type. Deoxys, Clefairy, Solrock, Lunatone, Jirachi, and many more.

Now, with "Sun" and "Moon" do you think this is possible?


[ I don't say we do need/will have a new type, but it's a possibility ]

Don't know if a Light type would ever be added don't know if it could even be renamed Holy type.
Sound type would of been great.
Crystal type would be quite similar to Rock type tho.
Machine type seems like a mix of Steel and Electric.

pkmin3033 February 26th, 2016 11:16 AM

I don't think they'll add a new type in so soon after Fairy - there aren't that many Fairy-type Pokemon yet, after all.

Pyrax February 26th, 2016 11:18 AM

I'd really rather have no new types altogether. I mean, they've just introduced Fairy, and some types (Ice, for example) seriously need minor tweaks and buffs to their resistances and effectiveness.

Eh, still sounds like Steel to me. It just seems to be the general type for anything associated with metal, or are mechanical in nature.

It is possible, but I really can't see them introducing another type just one generation after having a new type. They probably spent a great deal of time restructuring the type chart to make room for the Fairy-type, so it would just be the same situation by adding another type to the chart. I think the Fairy-type will tie in well with the Sun and Moon theme making it unnecessary for a new type.

Hikamaru February 26th, 2016 11:32 AM

I don't think we'll be seeing another new type yet. Fairy was quite small in 6th Gen so this generation needs to focus on expanding the Fairy Pokemon and move roster.

Iceshadow3317 February 26th, 2016 11:34 AM

I don't see it happening. Pluse Fairy is basically light type. Along with Psy.

I don't see any reason they need to add a new type right now. They haven't had long to figure out what else needs to be balanced.

Lunaris Adamantine February 26th, 2016 11:57 AM

I'm pretty confident they won't be having any new types. There are already enough to cover pretty much everything.

As for the titles, Moon is already for Fairy types and Sun would easily fall under the category of Fire. All I expect is a variety of new Fairy types, since there aren't enough to go around yet.

Sirfetch’d February 26th, 2016 11:59 AM

The type chart seems balanced and in a good spot right now. It's highly unlikely that they'd introduce a new type two generations in a row, imo. I would not be a huge fan of seeing another type added so soon. I know that in time more types will probably come but it just seems like a weird time to do so right now haha.

Sylphiel February 26th, 2016 12:20 PM

With how often they seem prone to adding a new type (that is, not often), I'd be more surprised if they actually did add another type in these games. I'd rather see more unused current type combos be used first, before juggling in yet another one. <_<

I've been waiting on my Fire/Grass Pokemon since RBY http://cbc.pokecommunity.com/config/emoticons/why.png

Nekaku February 26th, 2016 12:27 PM

Space type would work well for stuff like Lunatone,Deoyxs,Clefairy etc

Esper February 26th, 2016 1:03 PM

I could see some type changes among certain Pokemon, maybe, but not a new type. I know that Fairy-type caught most of us off guard and that we could be blindsided again, but I think we've mostly already imagined any possible new types and realized that they're usually too narrow or that they're already covered by existing types.

I think a Space-type (which I think would probably sound better as "Star-type" like how there is a Grass-type instead of Plant-type even though "plant" is more direct) is really already covered by Psychic, and too a lesser extent Fairy with its moon association.

While it would look cool on paper, it appears Psychic and Fairy have likely already got that aspect covered.

MarinoKadame February 26th, 2016 2:20 PM

I don't think anything is based on sound, sure most sound based attacks are under normal type like some of the Fairy pokemons and moves were before.

Most of these moves could fall under Sound type.

Hyper Voice. Growl. Snore. Sing. Uproar. Roar. Supersonic? Sonic Boom. Screech. Belly Drum. Perish Song. Swagger? Sleep Talk. Heal Bell. Encore? Flatter? Follow Me? Taunt? Wish? Yawn? Metal Sound. Howl. Shock Wave? Water Pulse? Healing Wish? Me First? Captivate? Chatter? Attack\Defend\Heal Order? Roar of Time? After You? Round. Echoed Voice. Hex? Relic Song. Noble Roar. Disarming Voice. Confide? Celebrate?

I think it's the only plausible type that could be added. Crystal is mostly Steel type when looking at Crystal Onix who is weak to Fire and Water don't do much.

Wind fall under Flying type, Earth fall under Ground type same for Sand.

AlphaTangoFoxtrot February 26th, 2016 2:46 PM

Pokemon has only added new typings to the game twice in its 20 years and six generations of games. I'd be shocked to see them do it in consecutive generations. Plus, they have some balancing to do with fairy type before they add anymore, in my opinion.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 26th, 2016 2:58 PM

Sound sounds most likely. Candidates for such a type include
Whismur line, Igglybuff line, Chatot, Noivern(?), and Melotta,

Dedenne1 February 26th, 2016 3:22 PM

It is possible! However i highly doubt gf and nintendo would do it so soon after making the fairy type theyre probably gonna let the hype of fairies live on for awhile probably another game or 2 then make a new type or perhaps never make a new one which i can say id be content with i mean the only one that was missing was light and fairy kinda filled that void im just hoping I dont see like a sound type or something really stupid like that since ive never been found of it and seriously its sound whats it gonna be supereffective against? everything? Nah i dont think we will be seeing any new types for awhile until you know they go into the plastic type xD

MarinoKadame February 26th, 2016 3:27 PM

Found this old chart.

Juice585 February 26th, 2016 3:35 PM

I honestly doubt we'll see a new type any time soon.

Ho-Oh February 27th, 2016 5:50 AM

Well we could have the Lunar-type (fits REALLY well and balances out Dragon/Normal too)

Moon type:
Clefairy - Fairy/Lunar
Clefable - Fairy/Lunar
Deoxys - Psychic/Lunar
Mega Solrock - Psychic/Fire
Mega Lunatone - Psychic/Lunar
Cleffa - Fairy/Lunar
Jirachi - Steel/Lunar
Rayquaza - Dragon/Lunar
Cresselia - Psychic/Lunar
Darkrai - Dark/Lunar
Elgyem - Psychic/Lunar
Beheeyem - Psychic/Lunar
Luneon (Eevee evolution promoting Lunar-type) - Lunar

That's like at least 12 Pokemon changed. Fairy-type didn't have too many changes, and really, we have a lot of Pokemon FROM space. Why else have the whole substory of Rayquaza in space and then suddenly have Pokemon Moon?

Lunar type-effectiveness:
Supereffective against Fairy
Supereffective against Psychic
Supereffective against Ghost
Supereffective against Normal
NVE against Fighting
NVE against Steel
NVE against Fire

Lunar-type weaknesses:
Fighting
Dragon
Fire
Normal

Would be pretty balanced, give Normal an actual purpose.

I think of it as Fairy being akin to the earth and Lunar akin to space. Therefore, what's in the space can actually... stop the magic of the earth (same for Psychic). Ghost is the same, it is a earth thing, and space, being wide, trumps it. Manmade things protect us in space. So Steel is definitely something that can block but not stop space. Humans can be defeated by what's in space, however using their brains they can also beat what's in space through science (Normal). The space can't defeat those that fight it, so Fighting is NVE, and super effective against. Fire wins because the sun is the biggest thing in space. Dragon beats it because Dragon needs a purpose (like Normal) and Rayquaza and other Dragons can be in space with no problem whatsoever.

Pokemon_Hero February 27th, 2016 6:06 AM

Light type

beats: Dark and Poison
weak to: Dragon and Normal

Rivvon February 27th, 2016 6:11 AM

It's way too soon to implement a new Type. If they feel the Type chart needs balancing (which I personally feel it doesn't need much at all), they can just tweak the resistances and weaknesses, like how they removed Steel's resistances to Dark and Ghost in gen 6--so in that regard, they don't need a new Type. There are also a good number of unused Pokémon Type combinations, so they don't need a new Type to help give some fresh Typings to Pokémon, either. I can almost guarantee that a new Type so soon after Fairy will just feel forced (and may actually be harmful to the games' balancing, in all honesty).

Pinkie-Dawn February 27th, 2016 5:37 PM

I'm pretty confident that there won't be a new type. Remember that they'll only add new types if one particular type is becoming too dominant in the metagame. Steel and Dark types were introduced to counter Psychic types, and Fairy types were introduced to counter Fighting and Dragon types. What I can see them do, at the very least, is adding/removing resistances and weaknesses from pre-existing types to help underused types to have a larger presence in the metagame such as Ice and Rock types.

I agree, and I will add "bug type" !! More good Bugs please, and new moves. Oh and improve the bugs that already exist.


Pls do something with Ledian <3
