What's with the esoteric decision to make one of these a

Because in the end, the jocks always win

Because the other isn't normal.

I don't think esoteric means what you think it means.

Because normal type confers a useful immunity to psychic types while it provides nothing but a weakness for fighting types.

one can literally be a pokemon trainer

>>28660353
To make them a bit more "balanced" when fighting each other.

The line between Normal and Fighting is much more vague. Whereas pure Psychic includes stuff like blobs and ayylmaos.

So is it safe to assume that these two share a common pre evolution just like rockruff?

Who knows.

There's literally no rhyme or reason to what types GF gives.

>>28660632
No

>>28660632
Probably just thematically similar/opposite counterparts like Magmar/Electabuzz, Seviper/Zangoose, Solrock/Lunatone, etc.

>>28660632
Not at all considering they're completely different Pokemon who are said to be version exclusives.
If you could just catch and breed the pre-evolution then there wouldn't be any point to that statement.

>what is Rockruff

>>28660472
Everything about this post is wrong. Kill yourself.

>>28660673
But that's exactly what Rockruff is, anon.

>>28660671

This.

>>28660646
I used to back up type choices but now, pure rock Midnight lycanroc is fucking stupid as SHIT.

>>28660781
U read it wrong u autist

>>28660781
Immunity to Ghost
Only now weak to Bug and Dark? Fair trade I'd say.

>>28660353
are you sure you meant to use "esoteric" here

>>28660924
Weak to bug and dark, but has a neutrality to fighting.

>>28660353
Because Oranguru uses the sound of it's voice to instruct other Pokemon. Much like with Jigglypuff, Exploud, Chatot, Pyroar, and many other Pokemon, it's normal type will be replaced with Sound type in gen 8.

>>28660781
Except everything he said was correct...

>>28661109
> normal type confers a useful immunity to psychic types

Why are ellipsis users so retarded?

>>28660799
Lycanroc has the same name in both games tho.

>>28661968
Normal type confers a useful immunity to psychic types. A normal/psychic type gains an immunity to ghost attacks, which psychic is weak to, hence why it is is useful.

You're the retard who keeps reading it wrong.

>>28662707
The original post doesn't mention anything about it being a dual type
