ITT: Pokémon with a wrong type. Lugia should have been Water/Flying.

More like Psychic/Water

>It lives in the water, so it has to be Water-type
>It lives on the ground, so it has to be Ground-type

Self-explanatory.

I feel like the Luxray line was the perfect chance for an Electric/Dark.

Fire dragon. Mostly because of the arrogance Ash's had in the anime.

>>29519285
That certainly would have been more interesting than pure electric.

>>29519278
It's almost like GF researches the mythology of the locations they base their regions on

>>29519132
Psychic Water with levitate world be better.

I'm sick of this part flying meme.

Lugia was never the Guardian of the Sea outside of that shitty movie.

>>29519328
Pokedex entry in Silver
> It is said to be the guardian of the seas. It is rumored to have been seen on the night of a storm.

BTFO

>>29519132
It wasn't always underwater. It lived on top of a tower just like Ho-oh did until it burned down.

>>29519198
>>29519183
Guardian of the seas, able to use aeroblast. Lugia was likely based on susano'o, God of the sea and wind while ho-oh was based on Amaterasu, goddess of the sun. Also would have drawn parralels to the 3 dogs

It almost like it doesn't look like Ghost type at all, and the flavor text doesn't give any spooky lore.

AND it's a flying bird like Rowlet and Dartrix.

>>29519475
Do you really want a shit typing?
Grass/Flying = pure utter shit.

>>29519132
No. It lives in the sea, because it's tower is gone. It never came from the sea, nor is it a sea creature.

>>29519475
My only issue with it is that it *becomes* ghost-type. I'd probably be fine with it if it was Ghost all along.

>>29519475
>The pueo (Asio flammeus sandwichensis) is a subspecies of the short-eared owl that is endemic to Hawaii. The pueo is one of more famous of the various physical forms assumed by ʻaumākua (ancestor spirits) in Hawaiian culture.

>>29519475
I like the owl even more now it's ghost. :^)
>muh lore
stay mad

>>29519488
Since when does competitive come first than logic? If it looked ghostly there would be no problem.

>>29519501
Not in the flavor text, headcannon until confirmed.

>>29519518
It doesn't need to literally be part of the pokemon for it to affect it's design and typing. Did you expect GF to not use local lore when designing alola mons?

>>29519328

Both of these should have been Bug/Dragon with Levitate.

>>29519518
You're basically ignoring everyone's examples.
You're just a troll, nothing less.
Have a nice time trying to prove you're right when you're not.
What's done is done. You can kill yourself over this now.

>>29519600
The example provided is not factual, it's theory.

>>29519132
>bird
>has hands instead of wings
>no talons or birdfeet
>tail is reptilian like
There is a lot of wrong things with Lugia, but typing isnt one of them.

> But it CAN'T lose its Flying type; it still has wings and shit. What the hell GF??

The autism here is starting to give me a migraine.

>Flygon Bug/Dragon
Stop

>>29519328
nigga do you even S / SS ?

>implying only birds are flying type

>>29520038
Scizor looks Steel, Decidueye doesn't look Ghost.

>>29519501
Considering that it's hood casts shadows over its face, all they would have to do is make its scleras glow like under night vision and the concept would have been so much easier to sell.

>>29520179
Because it's very probably based on a real bird that according to myth is the physical form of dead people. It's not supposed to look "ghostly," it's supposed to look like an owl.

>>29519594
Fuck no Yanmegas abilities are it's only claim to fame, don't take those away from it.

>>29519475
actually Decidueye is based on a flightless owl.

>>29519132
Everybody bitching about how the Psychic/Flying cover legendary should have been Water/Flying, when the real injustice is the Psychic/Ghost cover legendary that revolves around light and the moon should be Fairy/Ghost to reflect that.
