Pokemon that should have a secondary/replacement type

[GlitchCity]

Hmm yeah, exactaly what the title says. So which pokemon do you think should have a secondary type and/or a replacement type?

I personally think that Ninetails should be a fire/psychic or a fire/ghost type. It can live up to a thousand years, so that fact alone should give it a second type. Also it could make up for its movepool.

Its shiny sprite would be even more awesome if it was a fire/ghost type.

I guess if I had to say anything, I would say Mudkip needs to be a Water/Ground type likes it's evolved forms. It's sort of bothered me when I pit one against an Electric type and then remember that it doesn't unlike Marshtomp and Swampert.

I'd name a bunch of obvious ones, but then I'd feel like I'd be stealing from everyone so I'll just name one that's always confused me for the longest time. :D

Which is Porygon! I swore for the longest time that Porygon was a psychic type. I mean everything points to it being one so I don't see why it wound up as a normal type. The fact that it's technically a robot makes me think psychic and then on top of that it can learn a few psychic moves through level up. I guess in the end being a normal type sort of works out better for it... I really don't know. It's just always been a really confusing typing for me. Even if it was a normal/psychic type I would be satisfied. That would make so much more sense. :( I always let it slide though, since Porygon is absolutely adorable. :3

I wouldve always thought that Seviper would be part dark, just because of the way it looks.

I agree with Ayselipera that porygon could have been easily mistaken as a psychic type, i know i have when i first started playing the game.

And sudowoodo to have been Rock/Grass type

Dunsparce needs to be a Ground Pokemon. It doesn't look like a Normal Pokemon to me. Flygon should be Bug/Dragon because it looks like a bug and a dragon.

 

[vaporeon7]

I always thought Gorebyss and Huntail should be part Psychic and Dark respectively.

 

[HiroUey]

Im surprised no one said Gyarados yet, when i see a topic like this, this is the first pokemon that comes to mind, it should be a Water/Dragon Type, Dont know where Flying came from. I also agree with Ninetails being a part Psychic or Ghost Type.

 

[Beechlgz]

Psyduck and golduck, I always thought that it seemed more natural for it to be part psychic. I don't know why they didn't, would it be too strong if it was part psychic? Though they aren't that impressive as they are now. I mean part of what makes these pokemon what they are is that they use psychic powers, it's even in their pokedex entries.

lapras should have its ice typing removed.
if it was pure water it would be in OU

I second that Gyarados should be part dragon instead of part flying. I mean, I get why it's flying (because dragon was just too powerful back in generation 1, similar to why Charizard isn't part dragon), but it totally is part Dragon. I mean, Lance has one, for goodness sake. It's totally a dragon. (:

It would make Gyarados even more powerful I guess xD strangely Gyarados is part flying, but cannot learn fly. Although it is able to learn Bounce.

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

100% agreed Ninetales is one that would fit very well as Fire/Ghost.

 

[Hypno]

I would have to say the Porygon line as well, but more like Psychic/Electric instead of just normal.

 

[FlamingThunder]

Don't you think Arbok should be part Dark type. It would be really cool!

POISON/DARK- Epic!

 

[Chisswarrior]

Not that it would have mattered or anything, but Volbeat should have been Bug/Electric. Its a friggin lightning bug. Makes perfect sense, but noooooo....

And Luxray needed to be dark type. Most definitely

 

[Rai]

I think Accelgor should be Bug and Ghost. I thought it was a ghost pokemon until I looked it up on Serebii. It doesn't even look like a bug, with or without a shell.

 

[Scorpio219]

the whole gen 5 electric eel family should be water/electric type it pisses me off so much! how do they levitate, really!

my top picks are:
Noctowl- should be psychic/flying it learns many psychic moves
Trokoal- i thought it was Rock/fire like magcargo for years
Masquerain- i feel it should be bug/water since ther isnt that mix yet with levitate
Seviper- i thought it was dark/poison for the longest time and it's color matches
reuniclus- (the gen 5 germ looking thing) i thought it was ghost/psychic originally.
absol- should be normal/dark to fit the ying yang theme of it.
mabey Granbull with Normal/fighting mix
Then the ones already said- gyarados, golduck, accelgor, and flygon.

 

[Impo]

i thought stantler could've been part psychic/ghost.
and milotic coulda been part psychic

 

[Cooker]

I always thought that Poliwag and Poliwhirl were part Psychic since their design is all hypnotic and whatnot, and I don't really see why Poliwrath is fighting, it could easily be a Psychic type too. And why is Azurill Normal type..?

 

[fenyx4]

Jaroda as Grass/Dragon (and I don't care about the "starters can't be Dragon-type!" deal. If we can have a Steel-type starter, we can have a Dragon-type one as well!).
I'm still bugged about that. I'd like to see every current dual-type combination fulfilled one day, and I really wonder how Game Freak is going to pull off an awesome-looking Grass/Dragon Pokemon that doesn't imitate Jaroda. :\
