ITT: Pokemon whose types make absolutely no sense whatsoever

>>27560893
>water doesn't make any sense for a duck
I mean, they should probably have psychic type too, but I wouldn't say it makes "absolutely no sense"

>>27560934
the omission of psychic makes absolutely no sense at all and was basically a mistake by a programming intern

>>27560893
Were you that guy in the youtube comments all fucked off that Arin from Game Grumps thought his Golduck, Mr. Mart, was half psychic?

Yep, that messed up type went undetected by anyone before release and was never corrected in any future games. Makes perfect sense. All cause one little idiot goofed one time.

>>27560893
I feel like staryu and starmie should have been plain water and these should have been the psychics

>>27561005
This with >>27560987

Is it hard to admit because we're used to it?

>>27561005
Psychic is the cosmic type, tho

For the longest time I thought Torkoal was Fire/Rock.

>>27561005
But then how would Starmie be the stronkest pokemon of ever?

I hope these moves get the added effects of hitting fly types at some point. Doesn't make sense that they dont

IT WASN'T?
Holy shit, my whole life has been a complete lie.

>>27561159
because flying types can't move out of the range of motion?

>>27561112
I've used torkoal on multiple teams and if you had asked me just a minute ago I'd have told you it was fire/rock

>>27561140
Shut up. It dodges the bone just like it flies above the surf when it arrives.

Pinsir not being bug ground. The pokedex entries fully support it as well

>With its horns, it digs burrows to sleep in at night. In the morning, damp soil clings to its body.
>Pinsir is astoundingly strong. It can grip a foe weighing twice its weight in its horns and easily lift it. This Pokémon's movements turn sluggish in cold places.

Also he looks dope

>>27561112
But it's literally the Coal Pokemon. Coal is a rock.

>>27561194
By that logic, flying types should be immune to all projectiles.

I think Cofagrigus is Ghost/Rock constantly.

Why is it Ice-type? The only reason I can get is that Game Freak wanted more Ice-types.

>>27561266

Well apparently Game Freak didn't think it counted.

Butterfree - bug/psychic
Psyduck/Golduck - water/psychic
Voltorb/Electrode - electric/steel
Noctowl - flying/psychic
Sunflora - grass/fire
Dunsparce - ground or ground/fairy
Volbeat/Illumise - bug/fairy
Zangoose - normal/ground
Milotic - water/fairy
Glalie - ice/rock
Huntail - water/dark
Gorebyss - water/fairy
Salamence - dragon/rock
Luxio/Luxray - electric/dark
Mismagius - ghost/fairy or ghost/psychic
Phione/Manaphy - water/psychic
Liligant - grass/psychic
Maractus - grass/steel
Tympole/Elektrike/Elektross - water/electric
Haxorus - dragon/steel
Accelgor - bug/dark
Flabebe/Floette/Florges - grass/fairy
Goomy/Sligoo/Goodra - poison/dragon

This is how I'd change Pokemon. This and making Luvdisc and Alomomola part of the same line.

>>27560893
Psyduck doesn't have any references to the psychic type in its Japanese name.
Plenty of pokemon can use psychic moves, get over it.

>>27561312
Carlos!

>>27561315
>Butterfree - bug/psychic

Ok

>Psyduck/Golduck - water/psychic

Sure

>Voltorb/Electrode - electric/steel

I mean same as Magne-line

>Noctowl - flying/psychic

Uhh, I guess.

>Sunflora - grass/fire

Fuck no. Thing is an abortion anyway.

>Dunsparce - ground or ground/fairy

Normal is fine for Dunsparce. I expected a dragon evo and I'm not convinced Drampa isn't it.

>Volbeat/Illumise - bug/fairy

Maybe for Illumise? Volbeat elec I think.

>Zangoose - normal/ground

No.

>Milotic - water/fairy

Sure.

>Glalie - ice/rock

Eww, no. Steel maybe, to go with the hockey thing but how the fuck do you get rock?

>Huntail - water/dark

Nah.

>Gorebyss - water/fairy

Just cause it's pink doesn't mean it needs to be a fairy.

>Salamence - dragon/rock

Wtf. Shellgon just gets a shell, where the fuck do you get rock?

>Luxio/Luxray - electric/dark

Sure.

>Mismagius - ghost/fairy or ghost/psychic

No.

>Phione/Manaphy - water/psychic

Who even uses these or cares?

>Liligant - grass/psychic

No.

>Maractus - grass/steel

Why... If anything Grass/Water to go with the cactus theme properly.

>Tympole/Elektrike/Elektross - water/electric

I suppose, but they're lamprey and live in caves in Pokeworld so I dunno.

>Haxorus - dragon/steel

Yeah or Dragon/Fighting

>Accelgor - bug/dark

Pure Bug makes me love him more tho. He's not the edgy shinobi that Greninja is. He's a bagworm who goes fast.

>Flabebe/Floette/Florges - grass/fairy

This one I can get behind.

>Goomy/Sligoo/Goodra - poison/dragon

And this.

This is one of the worst puns I've ever borne witness to.
Good job, nice to see people punning in true Carlos style.

>>27561694
Didn't everyone? I'm convinced the only reason it's not part Water is because GF's autism gets triggered whenever a legendary isn't part Psychic.

>>27561315
>Sunflora - grass/fire
I am so glad you're not working for GameFreak. They don't need incompetent people like you.

>>27561079

Samurott existing is the biggest mistake.

This, this is the only one that truly triggers me.

>>27561640

If you put your opinion out on the internet, you're asking for other people's opinion. This whole thread is asking people's opinion.

>>27561650
Wait what? Jesus, that makes no sense.

>>27561664
That's actually not too hard to believe, considering this glitch: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_glitches_in_Generation_I#Dual-type_damage_misinformation

>>27562453
Well, if it was fire AND ground it would be able to be one hit by Kyogre, and making it not ground wouldn't fit in with Team Magma's story.

>>27561112
I still make this mistake all the time

>>27560893
Their names should be switched too.
>>27561005
Water/Rock maybe? Because of their gems.

All of these.

Blastoise should be water/steel imo. He does have steel cannons that flip out of his shell. For all we know, his shell could be made of steel. Also he's the only gen 1 starter without a secondary type.

Onix and Geodude line should lose ground imo. It's pointless on them. They're all literally rocks.

Change. Butterfree to bug/psychic so that its move pool makes sense.

Might as well make Gyarados a Dragon too, so the magikarp lore makes sense.

>>27562436
you seem cool anon, can i have your contact information so i can give you my opinions in detail?

>>27564018
Say please.

>>27560999
Anon, don't forget that they still haven't fixed Nidoqueen being sterile.
It also took them two generations to fix Azurill changing gender upon evolution.

>>27561247
>Alolan form

>>27564035
please

>>27561194
I GUESS FLYING TYPES SHOULD JUST BECOME IMMUNE TO ALL PHYSICAL ATTACKS THEN. I used all caps just to make you realize how fucking retarded your statement was.

Didnt gen1 have enough Water/Psychic for you? Holy shit.

>Jynx

>ITT, muh head canon should be right wtf gamefreak.

They've actually adjusted typing in generations if they felt like it with steel, dark, and fairy introductions.

Everyone else is that way because gamefreak balance.

>>27562422
Holy fuck I just realized that. What the fuck.

Daily reminder that Florges line aren't plants themselves and plants aren't part of their body, they just carry and take care of flowers. It makes no sense for them to be weak to fire, for example.

Daily reminder that Luxray being dark is retarded. Black =/= dark type. It's not evil, cheating or related to the night in any way.

>>27564280
Or is it?

>>27564067
Shit I wonder if there will be Pokemon with both an Alolan form and Mega Evolution...that is if megas make a comeback

>>27564280
Luxray looks MAD though

>>27564439
>Sharpedo: "Nicknamed "the bully of the sea," Sharpedo is widely feared. Its cruel fangs grow back immediately if they snap off. Just one of these Pokémon can thoroughly tear apart a supertanker."
>"Crawdaunt has an extremely violent nature that compels it to challenge other living things to battle. Other life-forms refuse to live in ponds inhabited by this Pokémon, making them desolate places."

>>27561315
Voltorb/electrode should be normal or electric/normal

>>27563984
M-Gyara as a water/dragon makes more sense than water/dark...

Water/Fire would be a great opportunity to make it relevant, but i'm not even against it just being pure water if push comes to shove.

You idiots don't know how to read. That Anon is saying that LUXRAY isn't evil/related to night. And thus had no justification for Dark type outside of having black fur.

>>27561315
Why does nobody understand this-
The Elektross line is an eel that swims through electrical current, not water. Other than its resemblance to an eel it has nothing to do with water which I think adds a lot to the coolness of the concept.

>>27561728
it wouldnt be balanced with ho-oh though
