    Terrakion - Rock/Fighting
    Tornadus(Unless Arceus is in Flying Forme) - Flying
    Reshiram - Dragon/Electric
    Zekrom - Dragon/Fire
    Kyurem - Dragon/Ice
    Meloetta(Pirouette Forme) - Normal/Fighting
    Now, tell me:
    Which was your favorite type(or dual type)?
    Which was your non-favorite type(or dual type)?
    Would you like it if Triple Types were made?
    Is your favorite Pokemon on the list?
    Is your non-favorite Pokemon on the list?
    DYK?:
    Did you know every one of Shauntal's Pokemon, except Cofagrigus, has a unique typing?
    Did you know Kanto has the least unique Pokemon Typings?
    Tell me if I forgot a Pokemon, and it will be included on the list(P.S. Cobalion is not there because Lucario is also Steel/Fighting, Zubat and Globat weren't on the list also, because another Pokemon not from Kanto has a Poison/Flying Combination, Crobat).
    You see, the Pokemon are by region. And no, Sharpedo and Crwadaunt are both in Hoenn and no other Pokemon(except Carvanha) has the Water/Dark Type Combination.

    From a quick glance, it's missing at least Jynx line, Torterra, and the Zubat line.

    I don't like the idea of triple types. I think it'd make the games too complicated.

    But yes, my favorite Pokémon is on the list. And stupid Virizion had to come in and now Breloom isn't unique any more. :(

    I just wanna say, if there are 2 Pokemon Lines that have that typing, its not unique. While the definition would fit, a unique type combination refers to a combination that that line alone has.

    Poison/Ground is argueable seeing as even though the two Nidoran Lines are separate, they are usually referred to as one line with split evolutions (Wurmple-esque) based on whether the Nidoran happens to be Male or Female. (If Nidoran were introduced in Generation 3, 4, or 5 this would have been a high possibility)

    Water/Dark is shared by two Pokemon lines (Corphish and Carvahna) that aren't really related to one another.

    Water/Electric is arguable because Rotom is only Water/Electric while in a form change and not otherwise, but still no longer unique.

    Dark/Grass is the same as Water/Dark

    Rock/Psychic and Dragon/Psychic are pretty much Nidoran Arguement. The two that share are too closely related. Anime wise Lati@s are brother and sister born from the same Lati@s parentage.

    Fire/Psychic is again argueable due to Darmanitan's part time form change.

    Poison/Dark is another Water/Dark case. Two separate, unlinked families share it.

    You list Lucario (Steel/Fighting) which Colbalion is the same typing.

    You also do not list Water/Dragon Kingdra and Palkia which kinda helps the point.


    Though out of them shown that I did not already rule out:
    Which was your favorite type(or dual type)? Honestly. Dark/Fighting.
    Which was your non-favorite type(or dual type)? Fire/Bug
    Would you like it if Triple Types were made? No. Too much to handle, easily broken.
    Is your favorite Pokemon on the list? Nope
    Is your non-favorite Pokemon on the list? Nope

    Nope.avi
    I found them in PokeDream.
    Swinub and Magneton weren't there, because another Pokemon from another region has their typings.

    Despite their Evolutions appearing in Gen 4, Magnemite's Line is the only Pokemon line that is Electric/Steel and Swinub's line is the only Pokemon line that is Ice/Ground. They are unique type combinations.

    But I like Volcarona!
    I also like Scrafty, but you should never say that to my favorite Pokemon! Volcarona is epic!
