  • Yeah, best title ever tbh. Anyway, we all know that there are some Pokemon that should have an extra type. >_> Bleh, let me explain more.

    I think Grimer should be Poison/Water, not just pure Poison since it inhabit's water as well as sludgy rubbish. :c

    I also think Emboar should be Fire/Ground/Rock (Either Ground or Rock.)

    So, what Pokemon do you think should of gotten different types than they already have?

  • I always though Braviary should have been Fighting/Flying instead of Normal/Flying. Also Gyarados, Charizard and Serperior should've been part Dragon. Don't worry I know why they're not I just think they should have been. I also think Cofagrigus should have been Ghost/Rock or Steel judging on its appearance. I also think Cascoon should also be part Poison Type. I also think Ninetails should've been Fire/Ghost or Dark because of its curses.

  • Groudon should have been part Fire! so a Ground/Fire
    Kyogre, I think, Should be part electric, for a Water/Electric combo.
    Cubone/Marowak being part fighting for a Fighting/Ground would be interesting.

    I think the whole reason Charizard wasn't Dragon type is it would be the most obvious choice for players to choose

  • I honestly don't understand how Mawile is steel at all. I would've just guessed Dark for it if I hadn't realized it was steel.

    Also, Porygon (and it's evos) should definitely be Normal/Psychic. When I was young, I thought Porygon was psychic. I was confused when I discovered otherwise. It just strikes me as psychic type...

    Drowzee/Hypno... I think they should be Dark/Psychic. Seems an odd duo-type... but they kind of have a "dark" story. (Eating dreams and what not.) And have always struck me as "Dark" as well as Psychic. (And hey, if Ground/Electric types exist... why not Psychic/Dark?)

  • The trouble with Charizard and Serperior being part Dragon is that they're starter Pokemon. Dragon is easily the most powerful type out there, and having a Starter Pokemon grow into a Dragon seems a little unfair.

  • The problem with Charizard being Fire/Dragon would be the lack of a Water weakness (though Ice would be super-effective on Fire/Dragon in Generation I.) Water/Dragon Gyarados would have NO weaknesses at all in Gen I. As for Grass/Dragon Serperior, it would double resist Water, Grass, and Electric but be double weak to Ice.

    I personally think that Lugia should have Water type on him.
    But I don't know how to mix it with his current type, whether he should become Water/Psychic or Water/Flying.

  • I always thought Darkrai was a ghost type.
    I think it should be, even though it has Dark in the name.
    I would give it Dark/Ghost, but that would just be cheap.

    ^this, although Cofagrigus is more ground than rock to me :/.
    Also, Porygon/2/Z should be part Psychic
    Sceptile also always struck me as a Dragon... idk why though.

    We already have Sableye and Spiritomb for that. So Dark/Ghost is more than welcome lol

    Sceptile also always struck me as a Dragon... idk why though.

    Maybe the fact that it can learn Dragon Claw?

    Also, would anyone agree to have Arceus be a ??? type? You know, since it's GOD and all

    This. But I thought it was a Normal type. I found it odd why my Normal attacks weren't doing a lot against it. It doesn't look like a Steel type at all, lmao.

  • Luxray and its evolutionary relatives (Shinx and Luxio) are pure Electric-type.

    They meant that they learn a lot of Dark type moves, which led to the "it should be part dark/electric"

    Meowth/Persian: Dark
    They bite, steal shiny things and they look like dark types imo.

    Ninetales: Fire/Ghost or Ghost/Psychic
    You probably know that.

    Lugia: Water/Flying
    obvious

    Noctowl: Psychic/Flying
    It learns a lot of psychic type moves.
