>b-b-but why is Decidueye even Grass/Ghost? It still has wings

I think it's more that Dartrix has flying and Decidueye loses flying which is unprecedented. But who am I to stop your shitposting?

Why is it ghost when its design doesn't convey ghosts in the slightest

> Unprecedented.

Its a big word anon. It makes sense that you wouldn't know what it means.

but but but
there is lore to this
it's rattata's fault

It's not unprecedented, though. Scyther loses it, too.

There are many Pokemon based on extinct animals. None of them are Ghost-type. Try again, lorekilling Ohmori cocksucking GF apologist.

>Scyther is a bird
>Scyther is a three stage mon
>Scyther/Scizor evo is a typical evo and not meant to be a preferential evo (even though Scizor is better 99% of the time)

inb4 owls are birds. Strigiformes are an order under the class of Aves.

That doesn't mean being based on an extinct animal isn't a valid reason.

>>29503129
>Mega evos are traditional evos

Okay anon.

Owls are all about legend and folklore and have been for centuries. They have a special place in >Hawaiian mythology. It is said that they rescue souls from the underworld and safely guide armies. Legend has it that the God Kāne became an owl once to protect the Hawaiian people.

I knew you'd go for that bait.

Pathetic.

Owls are also associated with wisdom (psychic) and the moon (fairy) and tons of other shit. If they're going with spooky owl then they should make it a spooky owl. The vibrant robin hood suit does not spook. Nothing about its design is ghostly. It was clearly an afterthought.

A starter being Grass/Flying was unprecedented, does that mean Rowlet's typing was a mistake?

>>29505295
Dude, Bulbasaur was Grass/Poison from the get-go. With that, there's no precedence as to why starters truly had to be confined to a single Grass/Fire/Water type before evolving. It just seemed like tradition from Gen II-VI to keep the beginning starters monotyped.

>>29503099
It goes from a barn owl to stilt-owl. While the stilt-owl still could fly, it was more a land-dweller and made its nests to the ground.

The post I replied to specified flying-type. It's unprecedented for a starter to be part-flying.

If we want to talk about types in general, there are plenty of mons that lose types on evolution.
