How is this nigga Ice type? sure you find him in an ice cave, but other than that there's nothing. Should be pure dark, maybe Dark/steel.

I just have to remind myself that its a fossil, so Rock, and CradILY is like Lily, so Grass.

Yeah but that's kind of its gimmick.
good example though, its based on Petrified trees.

>>25027002
I'm convinced the only reason Lugia is Psychic type is because Johto was RBY2: Electric Boogaloo and they felt they needed a Mewtwo counterpart. Same reason 2/3 the gerbils are straight clones of the birds sans flying.

When you look at it like this it becomes really obvious gen 2's Pokemon were rescuees from gen 1's cutting room floor. Definitely not the best thought out monsters.

what are Electabuzz, Ampharos, Manectric, and Pika clones?

Here were my thoughts when I got back into the series with Platinum years after GS.

>>25026760
Grass

>>25026778
Everyone I played with on release thought it was Water or Water/Psychic

>>25026786
Poison/Flying, like Golbat

>>25026798
Imagine my surprise when I tried to hit it with Psychic

>>25026914
You hit it with a Fire-type move, read its name, then feel like an idiot.

>>25026932
I was hoping for bug.

Pic related got me for some time playing on Showdown, especially when CAP mons were rotated in Random Battle as Colossoil is actually Ground/Dark.

Always thought Staraptor was Dark/Flying type.

They had shitty localizer head. They replaced him in Gen 4.

It's why you get shit like Fire Mouse.

Elektrike looks Grass-type, but its name led me to believe Electric/Grass.

I tought this thing was water type.

>>25027708
The same issue as what, not being a bug-type bat?

In 3rd gen there's a green dog that is electric type for some reasons. There's also a dinosaur with ferns in the ass that is flying type. And for some reasons rare fish is rock type. I don't remember the names, I didn't play much pokemon and just missclicked the board

It was one of the first fairies announced, so I already knew it was pure Fairy-Type. I could have mistaken it for a Grass-Type otherwise.

>>25026760
>>Pretend you have no knowledge of Pokemon

What types are there and what do they represent? What are they for?
:^)

>>25030794
Why would anyone even think of ruining it by making it part grass? Who cares about dumb thematically correct autism, pure fairy is objectively better than grass/fairy. Leech Seed/Spores immunity doesn't make up for the increased damage on bug, ice, fire, and flying moves

Well, it does have some yellow highlights at least

It's a reference to fossils, since it's a coelacanth. Wikipedia says, "The coelacanth was long considered a “living fossil” because it was believed to be the sole remaining member of a taxon otherwise known only from fossils, with no close relations alive"
