I thought serpierior was Grass/Poison for a day

still have no idea what types the kyurem fusions are

>>33346355
I honestly thought the same thing. I thought it was weird when I saw all the fighting type moves it got and found out it was pure fire.

>>33346378

Gen I was weird, rock HAD to be paired with ground type and ice usually secondary to a water type. I'm glad they got rid of that bullshit.

>>33346569
It has two ice type signature moves that can cause paralysis and burning, and I think maybe its ability gives it stab on whatever type depending on black or white

He has iron dumbell weights on its shoulders. All the black parts in its body are probably made of the same iron.

>>33346953
Y-you realise that iron isn't steel, right? You're just weakening your own argument.

>>33346970
steel is meant to represent metals as rock represents other kinds of minerals

and even if you are being that much literal, it is at least 90% iron

>>33346970
Im not him, just another Anon with his own Lucario headcanon :3
Also Steel is wrong as a name. Steel is actually Metal. Like Grass is actually Plant.

>>33346605
I thought it was Flying/Dark

>>33346970
>i·ron noun 1. a strong, hard magnetic silvery-gray metal, the chemical element of atomic number 26, much used as a material for construction and manufacturing, especially in the form of steel.
>especially in the form of steel

>>33346984
Even if we assume Lucario's body contains iron/steel, which is honestly a stretch imo, then there's still the problem of pokemon like Alolan Sandshrew/Sandslash canonically having 0 iron/steel in their body. Just plating that has steel-like toughness.

should have been, would have been a nice contrast to flying/normal (pigeot) and flying/dark (murkrow, also happened to be same gen).

I really like noctowl's design but it's goddam garbage movepool, stats, typing, and abilities make it not even fun to use in-game. Needs a buff so bad.

>>33346902
>Luxray

I always remember Torkoal is pure Fire, but I get why some people think it's Fire/Rock -- especially since there's a card with it as Fighting in the TCG.

The last pokemon I ever got wrong, I though I knew everything since Gen 4. Only discovered it was part Ground because it appeared in the Ground safari in XY.

Forretress or whatever it's called. STEEL type? Nothing about it looks steel. I thought it was pure bug, bug grass or, at the very most, bug rock.

>>33347660
I actually get the Psychic part. It's the fact that its flying. It lives on the bottom of the goddamn ocean. Pokemon Silver title screen has it swimming on the ocean floor. Just why is it flying? It still bothers me all these years later.

I can never remember Dhelmise's type. Ghost/steel/grass?? Could be fucking any of them

>>33347795
I wouldn't even know what a Dhelmise is if it wasn't for the bait threads to shit on Decidueye fans.

Don't think ive encountered it in the game

The fact that Florges isn't a grass type always throws me off.

>>33347795
Just remember anon, Dhelmise is just seaweed possessing a helm so it's grass type

>>33347795
Grass/Ghost and its ability gives it stab with steel basically

Dude, I've been playing since Gen 1 and still get typing on specific Pokemon confused. This franchise has a ton of information and you can't be expected to remember it all.

Shit happens.

>>33346579
You have 5 rock pokemons which are not ground types and 6 that are; and two ice types which are not water types, as opposed to 3 that are.

It's actually pretty balanced

>>33348075

Also the only pure grass Gen 1 was Tangela. All the others were poison or psychic in the case of Exeggcute line. Just made psychic even more OP with all of the poison types around.

But then it would have overlapped with Natu/Xatu. It still contrasts Pidgey by being the nocturnal bird to Pidgey's diurnal.

I didn't realize Mr Mime picked up the Fairy type until somebody on /vp/ told me a few weeks ago.

Lmao it's based on a "heel" (villainous wrestler that fights dirty). Considering dark is the "fight dirty" type (bite, sucker punch, theif) it makes perfect sense.

>>33347710
To be fair, the shell looks much more like rock than steel.

>Alola Ninetales is Ice/Fairy
>Alola Vulpix isn't

Took me a small amount of time to remember Alola Vulpix is pure Ice type. Doesn't apply to Sandshrew though, that's Ice/Steel as well as Sandslash.

Flygon isn't bug/dragon

>>33347633
It isn't actually said it's the king of the seas, but more a king of storms. Lugia lives underwater because its sheer strength causes natural disasters.

>>33351246

It's actually possible to get legit Aero before fighting Surge. Gen 1 basically stops being linear after you beat Misty.
