IIRC this guy and Keldeo are the only water/fighting types.

Porygon could easily be electric with all its digital shit. Normal is default type but it's far from a traditional "normal" pokemon origin story

I always figured it had the hardiness of ice but it was on a whole other level that its ice hardiness is as strong as steel.

Why poison? Charm and squirt didn't get additional typings.

Why couldn't it be rock/ghost? its a coffin being inhabited by a ghost, shuckle is a rock inhabited by a bug and its rock/bug, why not him?

>>27962542
I'm think its because its trying to mimic sharpedo to scare off predators, so it resembles it in appearance (a bit) and in typing.

>>27962908
>Why couldn't it be rock/ghost?
Rock/ghost or Steel/ghost* I meant

>>27962542
To this day, I still think the blue striped are its mouth at first whenever I look at it.

Wait it's not?

I was so dissapointed it wasn't ghost/steel. The dex says its made of gold.

>>27963000
Nope.

Are you fucking serious? He looks retarded as fuck. Why is it dark type then? Was the typing just an excuse so Team Aqua could use it as their "bad" Pokemon" Like their overuse of Poochyena/Mightyena?

>>27962908

rock/ghost would just end up being shittier then it is now

No I dea, but this official. I thought the blue was his lips for years. He opens his mouth in XY, I think.

>>27963181
I still would've prefered it to be something other than just a ghost, and I corrected myself right after since ghost/steel is better and fits thematically

>>27963158
>Why is it dark type then?

It's extremely violent by nature.

>>27962542
>>27962574
that's exactly what they mean by Dark type

>>27963210
Ah, that's respectable.

Weren't all Grass types Poison type in gen 1? Also, probably to give it weaknesses at Fuchsia and Saffron City Gyms, otherwise it would have had only one disadvantage the whole game until Lorelei.

>>27963205

we have a ghost/steel guy now. Maybe if it was ghost/rock it would have a solid niche on sandstorm teams. That 50% extra special defense could come in handy. Are sandstorm teams common in OU? I only really play lower tiers.

It's also based on a real life invasive species in Japan.

>>27963508
So it's dark because gaijin.

those big blue lips

1/2 of the gen 1 grass lines were part poison (all 3 stage evos), only Tangela was pure grass and then there is Exeggcute and Paras lines.

>>27963316
Not so much in gen 6 as they were in gen 5.

>>27963314
Tangela

Yes, Corphish is the Ruffian Pokemon, and Crawdaunt is the Rogue Pokemon. That is why it is dark type. It's a really mean crawdad.

>>27962585
Heels

In wrestling they play as villains
