If thats the case, we may get a new type next gen
Better yet, more Burn Up equivalents. Post good candidates.

It's not in gen 7.

??? type was removed in Gen 5 and hasn't returned since, Burn Up just makes pure Fire types completely typeless and Moltres pure Flying

>>33027266
functionally that's the same thing though, since ??? and typeless pokémon both have no weaknesses, resistances, or stab boosted attacks (besides gen 4's ??? Judgment)
>>33027966
It has to do with programming. Before you couldn't have a Pokémon with no type. It had to have some value for type. So ??? was created to work the same as if there were no type.
Now you can have no type.
It's like how a multiple choice question still requires you to select "none of the above" if none of provided answers are correct, whereas now you can just select nothing.
