All of those dual types are not going to original Pokémon anymore but dumb ugly regional variants and horrendous mega evolutions

>>734102071
Good, most of these are redundant or awful.

Would triple typing be too much? Still cap the damage at 4x or 1/4x based on typing but it opens up more chances to hit weaknesses and resistances

Dual Dual-Types soon.
Dark/Fire
Fighting/Dragon

crazy that poison ice and ghost rock haven't been made yet

>>734103050

>>734103749
It'd be fine imo, just make the third type contribute less. So instead of 8x for all 3 types resisting make it 6x, you know. And extend that from there.

yeah a half thawed virus or bacteria is an easy one for that

>>734102071
the Fire dog is 100% gonna be the first Fire/Fairy type

Normal/Ice might be one of the worst possible combinations out there. Shit offensively, shit defensively, might as well just give up.

Poison Ice would be a refrigerator from a hoarder's home.

Element and species should have been separated generations ago.
Poke breeding could get mutt hybrid species and dual element mons based on parents.

>>734104158
Offensively it's not that bad. The only type that resists both normal and ice is steel. So as long as it learns a fighting or ground or fire coverage move and it isn't slow it will be usable. But yeah defensively it is really bad.

>>734102071
I feel like normal should be an anti-type of sorts, id est it's normal because it's does not align strongly with any other type. Normal dual type should simply not be, unless it's some weird lore thing like mimikyu

Normal bug would just be an actual cricket or ladybug or something.

mew and deoxys should be normal type
mewtwo should be normal/psychic

It's really bizarre to me that Spiritomb isn't Rock/Ghost considering it's literally a rock with a bunch of ghosts inside of it. And we already had an existing Dark/Ghost in Sableye when Spiritomb debuted so it's always been a wasted opportunity.

>>734104989
The reason why is because the rock isn't part of the actual pokemon. It's just a container for the evil spirits, which are the proper body of the pokemon.
Typings try to prioritize the main idea of what the pokemon is over everything else. It's why something like dhelmise is a ghost/grass type instead of a ghost/steel type, since the plant part of the design is the actual pokemon.

>>734102071

Sound-based moves are already a mechanic in the games, it will never be a type of its own.

The problem of "normal" is that despite on paper meaning no type, mechanically it is a type, just a very shitty one.

It doesn't have any strength (at least not that I'm aware off) but it does have weaknesses and is a requirement for certain moves. So a normal/rock pokemon is technically different than a pure rock pokemon.

It works any time the HP is full, so it can work again if it heals back to full HP.
The gimmick is that you'll want to Terastallize it for higher stats and it loses that ability when it Terastallizes.

Normal isn't THAT bad of a type, especially when it's a dual type. Yes it has no strengths but since there isn't much that resists it, it makes the type very good at spamming it's moves and always doing decent damage.

I don't think I'd call Poison a "great attacking type". I could imagine three or four better Ice-typing combinations offensively, and there's probably a few better Poison-typings that are better options.

>>734103943
Yeah, like how many type combos are only represented by a Rotom appliance or only represented by "collection fodder" like Bug/Ground, which has no fully evolved reps that are actually meant to be used in-game.

>>734107415

>>734108815
>Normal/Psychic are worth the tradeoff in exchange for the Ghost immunity
Not really? If you're coming at it from the perspective of a Normal type, you exchanging your fighting weakness for a dark and bug weakness and resistance to psychic which I would say is worse than what you started with
From the perspective of the psychic type you lose the ghost weakness and the fighting resistance which is about a net neutral tradeoff.

>>734109829
I've never played an original romhack I liked more than Drayano's hacks or Seaglass

>>734110020
>a whole two Fairies
Magearna, Zacian, and Mega Mawille. There are more as well, but I don't think anyone is using Tinkaton.

>>734110025
From a Normal perspective, you get a STAB that can actually deal super-effective damage and can get around the Rock resist and Ghost immunity.

From a Psychic perspective, you're turning a Ghost weakness and loss into a Ghost immunity and likely a win. If you have STAB and you are immune to your opponent's STAB, that's a good exchange. Unless you were really betting on that Fighting resist (on a typing with just two resists, normally) it's a pretty good tradeoff. Oh, and a neutral STAB against Psychic-types and Dark-types.

It's not the best typing from a Psychic perspective, but the upsides are a lot better than Normal/Poison or even something like Normal/Water.

>>734102071
dual types were a mistake

It was actually in OU briefly, its typing, defensive stats and movepool make it a great utility Pokemon in singles with the option of busting out Gigaton Hammer to make up for its low attacking stats if it needs to, plus it has some fun combos like using an air balloon as its item and then using its pickpocket ability to steal the enemy's item after the balloon pops

> and can get around the Rock resist
anon, be serious, no one's running Rock types to cover for the Normal type matchup. Normal types generally get plenty of coverage moves and always have since gen 1, they don't need to be STAB to be a threat, not to mention that Psychic is generally offensively hazardous to use since damn near every team is running a dark type (Kingambit in singles, Incineroar in VGC, etc)

>>734109810
There are too many slow, bulky ice types that are completely useless. The best ice pokemon are water types using ice moves or something like weavile which is fast and hard hitting.

>>734110659
It's because they keep using slow bulky artic animals as references. All the decent ice types are fast animals or yokai.

>>734102071
Who makes the decision on whether or not a type-pairing debuts in one game or the next?
I wanna read emails and transcripts of suits and designers discussing bug/dragon.

>>734111874
Oh bugger

>>734109735
>>734109717
Because they unironically stat based on the appearance of the pokemon. Ice types tend to be fat animals living in cold weather. Polar bears, seals, walruses, mammoths, bulky ice crystals.
The only fast ice mons are shit like a weasel and Yuki Onna, or snow fox.

This is also an issue with rock types. It's made of rock so it has to be slow as fuck and have a high defense.

Getting a good, fast hyper offensive ice type depends on if we get some sort of swift aggressive animal or yokai, like a bird of prey, or more ice yokai.

>>734102071
So, uh, would any of these be really good? Ground/Fairy seems good since you can wreck the Fire and Steel that normally resist fairy.

>>734111874
If Frosmoth had more speed she would be good.

>>734114056
I can see Bug/Dragon being a decent defensive support type mon, You resist about a third of the type chart, including some pretty key types like water, ground and fighting

>>734108906
It's a special kind of autism that pops up whenever you have elemental types in a videogame and there is a combination that doesn't exist. Happens in every single RPG with something like it

>>734114364
Mega Flygon?

>>734110025
>you exchanging your fighting weakness for a dark and bug weakness and resistance to psychic which I would say is worse than what you started with
Fighting has access to some of the highest damage moves in the game (close combat, superpower) and lots of Fighting mons have huge Atk and are very fast. Dark and Bug moves don't get nearly as powerful (best is Knock Off when you have an item on) and are on mixed mons that mostly use them for utility or as non-STAB.

>>734114056
Ground/Fairy removes the Poison weakness and gives a STAB attack against Fire, Poison, and Steel resists. Well, as long as they aren't flying.

Fire/Fairy removes the Steel weakness and gives a STAB attack against Steel types, turning the losing Steel fight into a winning one. It also means that fights against Fire types is now resist vs resist.

Dragon/Bug could be useful if you really want a resistance to Water, Grass, Electric, Fighting, and Ground, and you don't mind all the weaknesses it gives you. Dragon/Ghost or Dragon/Flying are probably going to be better, so unless you need the particular Dragon/Bug resists is probably isn't that great.

All the Normal typings are pretty terrible. Poison/Ice and Ghost/Rock only might be "good" because they neutralize the Fighting weakness, but they get a ton of weaknesses as a result. I could see a fast strong Ghost/Rock being decent on offense, but that's probably true for most type combinations.

trevenant and gourgeist learn moves that can add the grass or ghost type to the target, respectively, effectively giving dual type pokemon 3 types. I don't know what the use case is or why you'd want to do that, but it's already possible.

>>734116185
You mean one that does not actually let you use it and that you can only fight against for story purposes?

>>734118928
>I don't know what the use case is
To force a weakness to another Pokémon you have. For example, using Halloween and then a trained Annihilalape rapes all the Rogue bosses in ZA (none are normal, all of them become weak to Rage Fist, and Annihilape learns Bulk Up and Focus Energy to buff itself, and Screech to debuff).

mega altaria is the only mega with a unique type that no other pokemon has

>>734104158
depends on the moveset and stats
normal has access to other move types which is usually good for coverage, then return/hyper voice are good stab moves
ice would be there for uhhhhh... ice shard?

just give Avalugg filter ffs
he'd be good with it and body press

>>734102071
Isn't that ugly spider from one of the two newer gens normal/bug? Isn't beartic normal/ice? No, I will not look either up.

>>734109148
I mean kinda. A lot of the dual normal types, aside from flying, are more or less just regular animals with an environmental niche. It makes sense on pokemon like bibarel, but not many others, but that's mostly because bidoof is a pure normal so keeping the type makes sense.

>>734102071
This and never mixing up the regions. Like have an area of the map that's steel, how about an ice region that isn't the last or second to last area, or at the very least stop making one of the first areas you go to a forest full of bugs. Mix it up a little.

Pokemon became shit the moment it added Fairy. Fairies are gay.

>>734106671
I don't play nuPokemon but it seems to me like fairy doesn't have a consistent style in the first place and they just give it to random things
Not like steel where the unifying style is obviously to be made out of steel

>>734107868
Fly has wings, so it's the flying type that resists the fight.

>>734102071
Bug Dragon hasn't been used? What about that dragonfly Pokémon? Hexagon, Flygon, or whatever the fuck it was? What was that?

>>734120420
flygon is dragon/ground

>>734120420
The flying thing is ground typed, because Gamefreak loves meming

>>734120420
the explanation for things like this usually comes down to the fact that the games were developed in japan. Yanmega is a dragonfly, but those aren't called dragonflies in japan which is part of why it isn't a dragon type. People joke about how Mr. Mime can be female, but its japanese name is Barrier.

>>734120670
Who the fuck came up with Mr. Mime then? Even just calling it Mime would be acceptable

>>734120070

In japan, the legendary birds are called Thunder, Freezer, and Fire. They obviously had to change them for baka gaijin sensibilities. a lot of japanese names for the early gens are kinda stupid.

Fairy type is fine

It's Eternamax Eternatus's base stats. It is a boss fight exclusive form for Eternatus and it can't be used in battle in any circumstance, but its base stats are retarded. It's about 400 points higher than Arceus. Even if you hack it in to your game, it will revert to its normal form after a while and can't switch back.

>>734104158

Steel being overpowered is fine because I think Steel is cool :)
The same applies to Dragon.
Fairy is lame and gay. Make it weak to Bug. Holy fucking shit why did they decide to nerf Bug of all things when adding the fag type. Fine I understand wanting to reign in Dragon and Fighting, but fucking Bug??

>>734123924
Fairy being strong against dragon comes from fairies commanding dragons in some folklore.

>>734124120
so what was the reason for making it immune to dragon instead of just resisting it? I would imagine that smacking a fairy with your gigantic dragon tail would still harm it. though I guess punching a sandshrew with an electrically charged fist should still hurt it too but it doesn't.

>>734107267

>>734124221
What part of COMMANDS DRAGONS don't you understand? The fairy just tells the dragon no, and the dragon does nothing. Simple as.

>>734124120
I get the reasoning, and I'm fine with a type that checks dragons, I just think faries are gay and wish that the counter to Dragon was at least something equally cool.

You're wrong about Bug, there's a number of high power Bug moves. Basically anything that gets First Impression uses it. Megahorn isn't as common, but some mons run it all the same just cause hitting dark types has its value. Regardless, Knock Off and U-Turn are so ubiquitous in singles that they're terrible weaknesses to have hence why Psychic is generally such a shitty type

>>734111874
It's funny because it really feels like this pokemon was exclusively designed because they thought that copy/pasting Volcarona but with another typing without any other thought would work.

>>734105804
All clay is ground. If it waan't gen 3 would have 4 Rock/Psychics and there would be no ground/psychic pokemon

I think Bug should be strong against and resist Fairy.

>>734126083
it's not much of a copy paste, it's stats are nowhere near as good. it has a great ability and quiver dance but that's about it. I'm guessing their main reason was just to create more type combinations they didn't have yet

>>734126439
I mean the stats aren't that different it just has more defense instead of speed which is arguably what you want because you need a bit of bulk to take hits while Quiver Dancing. Both mons are 4x weak to rock
The big difference that makes Frosmoth worse is that it doesn't have a way to break through the steel type that every single team is going to have, while Volcarona is a fire type.

Normal/Bug should be a generic mammal that has lice

I'm surprised they didn't make Spydops normal/bug. As a mono bug, it absolutely does not stand out in any way at all.

well at the time your only steel types were magnemite, steelix, and skarmory, all reasonably steel. they just chose a shit name for it. it is called the metal type in japan.

>>734129130
Clearly they should introduce the mushroom type with paras being bug/mushroom

>>734129485
could have just called it plant. they almost called flying "bird" until they realized that doesn't make sense on butterfree and dragonite

>>734128787
In my language, "Bug" was localized as "Beetle" for some inane reason, so every single insect is actually a beetle.

Poison should be super effective against water
Bug should be super effective against fairy
Ice should be super effective against water
There you go. The type chart is solved

I wish Fairy types were getting wrecked by U-turn. Ground types too, a lot of bugs dig in real life so it seems like it should be good against ground. How they decided bug was good against psychic and dark is crazy to me.

How? Steel was just meant to be a wall, it gave Fighting more stuff to break aside from Normal/Rock/Ice, it resisted Dragon before Dragon got bonkers, and it resist/ is SE against Fairy. Plus a lot of Steel types are slow as shit, with many given a second typing that hinders them. Much as I love Aggron and consider apart of my core Gen 3 team, that Rock typing ain't helping shit.

>>734134762
What he's saying is that it's possible to check how triple typing is already handled when it comes to weaknesses and resistances. Just use the move of Heracross so it becomes bug/fighting/grass and you can check how triple weaknesses are handled, and use it on Volcarona to make a bug/fire/grass type to check triple resistances. People have already checked with Fluffy which adds a fire weakness to a pokemon on ones already weak to fire, and that's another x2 multiplier on top of their existing weakness, so most likely this would be the same and do x8 or x.125 for super effective and resisted hits respectively.
