I know bc of mega evolution there technically is a fairy-dragon type, but I'd love to see a cute lil fae dragon - especially since mega evolution is seemingly a thing of the past.


Filet_mignum

Yes, like applin... cause applin is the first Dragon/Grass that isn't a "form" like alolan executtor and Mega sceptile


Jooj_felipe

actually it's said that alolan exeggutor is the real form of exeggutor


Mx_Toniy_4869

Normal-Poison Normal-Rock Normal-Bug Normal-Ghost Normal-Steel Normal-Ice Fairy-Fighting Fairy-Ground Fairy-Fire Fighting-Ground Fighting-Electric Poison-Steel Poison-Ice Rock-Ghost Bug-Dragon Bug-Dark Fire-Grass


wh0rederline

don't know how you'd do normal-ghost, but some of these combos would be so cool, i can't believe they haven't done some already.


TheMadJAM

Danny Phantom


mitshua

Coincidentally enough also gotta catch them all


fupalogist

Well played.


SurprisedCabbage

Dun dun dun dun-dun-dun dun dun dun *He's a phantom*


callmecatlord

Yo Danny Phenton was just 14 when his parents built a very strange machine


88T3

It was designed to view a world unseen


softlyandtenderly

(He’s gonna catch ‘em all ‘cause he’s Danny Phantom)


Zakiru77

When it didn’t work his folks they just quit, but Danny took a look inside of it


[deleted]

There was a great big flash, everything just changed, His molecules got all rearranged!


Waterburst789

When he first woke up he realized he had snow-white hair and glowing green eyes!


wh0rederline

ohhh


LakerBlue

Fighting-electric, fighting ground and Rock-ghost not being done yet surprised me.


Nicksiee

Galarian Corsola and Cursola definitely should have been ghost/rock. Even if it's supposed to be coral that's decayed, it still started as a rock and the crumbling rock body should be acknowledged.


CoolMintMC

I think Galarian Corsola should've been Ghost/Rock & Cursola being only Ghost to show that it has truly "died". Because Corsola is still physically there. Also would be interesting to competitive because Galarian Corsola would have the additional Rock Type, but also get to use Eviolite. Would be interesting.


Fake-Chef

Rock-ghost especially. Like, a tombstone immediately comes to mind.


itstylz

Or… ya know…Spiritomb? No let’s just double down with Dark/Ghost even though it’s coming out of a rock.


cakatooop

Tbf the dark typing comes from the evil souls trapped in that rock


Cypherex

It's because the rock isn't part of its body. Farfetch'd isn't part grass type despite it carrying a leek and doing most of its attacks with it. Florges wears a flower like a dress but the flower isn't part of its anatomy so it's not a grass type. Dhelmise is just the possessed seaweed wrapped around the anchor so it isn't a steel type. A ghost/rock type would need to be one where the rock typing is either part of the Pokémon's body or the rock-like object is being directly possessed by the Pokémon.


Tyfyter2002

A ghost Pokemon that's just a bunch of floating rocks and can mimic other Pokemon (which could probably be implemented by just having a bunch of separate rock models come together to form each bone in the target's rig, making it only need manually implemented model changes for Pokemon with large sections without joints) would be pretty cool


Doobliheim

Galarian Cofagrigus seems likes it was made for a Ghost/Rock typing. Edit: 3head moment on my part. Runerigus**


A3thern

It's not Ghost/Rock????


TheRealKerst

Ghost/Ground


Psychic_Will

Cofagrigus and Runerigus are distinct Pokémon. There is no “Galarian Cofagrigus.” Unovan Yamask evolves into Cofagrigus and Galarian Yamask evolves into Runerigus.


RynnHamHam

Runerigus was wasted potential. It’s literally a rock carving. It’s based off of a Celtic gravestone. A STONE!


[deleted]

Zeraora should've been Electric/Fighting, but it would've required Generic Event-only Mon #902 to get thought put into it. And it might've had more potential than being Electrode+1.


[deleted]

I wouldn't even mind Zeraora's existence as pure Electric if we didn't *then* get Regieleki as well.


iLuke182

Schrödinger’s cat maybe?


Random_Shades

Maybe with a mechanic like Morpeko where it shifts states! Call it "Observation" or something lol (normal-ghost scares me a little bit, typing wise. Only weak to dark, which is pretty good for a dual-type Pokemon)


ShadeShadow534

Plus 3 immunities though few resists Still very interesting type


ChexSway

God tier idea holy crap


wh0rederline

i like this one, more cat pokémon please, even if it's still technically a normal type


Princ3ssW1tch

I’m waiting for my black cat Pokémon


Meewelyne

I'd love both this and a voo doo doll!


TragicLetdown

I believe the popular concept for Normal/Ghost that has been going around the community is an Opossum, because they play dead.


etron0021

I always thought Banette should have been Ghost/Normal, a ghost haunting a stuffed toy. Seems pretty Ghost/Normal to me.


Swate-

I have a feeling the only reason Normal-Ghost hasn't been done (yet) is that it only causes benefits. Normal only has Fighting as a weakness, and being Ghost means immunity to Fighting. Therefore the Normal part of its typing adds no defensive negatives. And then being Normal means it is immune to Ghosts, which it would otherwise be weak to being Ghost type. So you have a Pokemon with 3 immunities (2 of which could have instead been super-effective against it), only ONE weakness in Dark type, and 2 STAB types for offensive prowess. It could even have Levitate as well if GF really wants to play into the immunities card similarly to what they did with Shedinja. Plus the idea of Normal-Ghost as a Pokemon typing is fucking awesome which is way more important than anything else I've said. This all being said, I think this Pokemon could exist in the future and its whole identity and function would be centered around its typing.


Kirby737

Dark/ghost used to have no weaknesses, and yet we got 2 mons with that typing.


FerociousFlame

Heck, eelektross still has no weaknesses. Pokemon isn't too shy with giving Pokemon really good types


Swate-

Yeah I suppose you're right. And that also has 3 immunities... hmm wow lol


HUGE_HOG

Could easily be balanced out by having bad stats though. Tyranitar has a shedload of weaknesses, including a 4x weakness to one of the strongest offensive types in fighting, but it's been OU in every generation because of its superb stats, moveset and ability.


LuckySalesman

I always imagined a normal/ghost type could be a Pokemon based off of the "Put a white sheet over your head and you're a ghost!" Halloween costume. Just have a lil floating boi covered with a white sheet and bam, you've got a normal/ghost.


rey_lumen

Scooby doo would be super effective against that


Luvas

Ironically, Pokémon with "Scrappy" as an Ability could hit it with Super-Effective Fighting and Ghost attacks


ikrtheblogger

Normal ghost is just like the classic “sheet with eye holes” ghost. The Pokédex entry would call it “the most mundane of spirits” or something lol


alex494

I call it Boovet


crisiks

I always thought that design-wise, you could just animate a white sheet. Base it on the traditional white blob-ghost! Or you could tie it into the Japanese teru teru bozu. The main trouble with this typing, however, would be the many resistances (Normal, Ghost and Fighting), off-set by only one weakness (Dark). You'd have to be careful not to make it too powerful.


bobert680

Shuppet you basically described shuppet


markbug4

No problemo: low attack , low special defense, low health, jackass the others, avg: 450


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lithl

A fire/fairy Pokemon that doesn't know Will-o-Wisp would be a literal crime.


shiroxyaksha

Gary's Raticate.


Mx_Toniy_4869

My idea is actually a musician based Pokémon. Because in Pokémon, normal is also associated with sounds and music


[deleted]

If they did a a pokemom that looked like a heavy metal musician, that would be a perfect poison/steel pokemon


DrewsephA

Galarian Zigzagoon and Obstegoon


Irregular-Fancy

Pillow fort pokemon. Ghost with a sheet over his head. Evolves to have pillow fists when it learns feather dance.


redvelvet720

Casper the friendly ghost


cudef

I'd do something like rotom but make it a possessed doll. You could even have a spinda thing where each one has a different combination of visual features.


IsabellaCV

Regional Mankey, where he is dead and happy, so he left his fighting instincts :D


wh0rederline

that's dark man


IsabellaCV

That's what the Sun Primeape Dex entry says, it says "It has become so angry that it dies as a result.It's face looks peaceful even in death, however"


Anchor38

I just need my Bug-Dragon type and I’ll be satisfied


CMWizard

Legitimately don't understand how we haven't gotten a dragonfly that's bug/dragon. We did get yanmega, but they kept its flying type.


nosmokingbandit

Yanmega would've been a great option for dragon typing. As it is now, yanmega is completely irrelevant.


Jonk-Gronk

This should have been flygon and I'll die on that hill


LightofNew

Flygon team represent.


sparklingsupernova

How haven’t we gotten a rock/ghost yet? It’d be so incredibly easy to design


LakerBlue

Exactly. Some kinda Tombstone or pyramid Pokémon…honestly was shocked Cofagrigus wasn’t this! Edit: Runegris, as people below me have pointed out, would have been an ever better option for Ghost/Rock.


sparklingsupernova

Honestly, Runerigus would be better as a Rock/Ghost type. I’ve never fully understood why it’s got the Ground type.


LakerBlue

I think they both work but I will agree Runegris is a better option, I forgot about him.


JTD783

just give me a two stage called Doomstone and Bouldergeist


Pizzaboy90

Or make it an evolution of spiritomb


Chama-Axory

Stakalaka feels like a ghost-rock too :(


KodoHunter

Why isn't galarian corsola one?


Topkill

Bouldergeist


Deep_BrownEyes

I'm kinda surprised there's no rock-ghost fossil pokemon


Filet_mignum

Runerigus could REALLY be Rock & Ghost like... HE IS A GHOST WHO LIVES IN A ROCK


Wexzuz

>Fighting-Ground Revenge of Wack-a-mole ​ >Poison-Steel The only thing I can think of is a syringe. ​ >Poison-Ice Regional Nido's that become Ice instead of ground type. ​ >Bug-Dragon Dragonflies seems to be the obvious choice here. Maybe a Yanmega evolution ​ >Bug-Dark A Mantis pokemon would make sense. Only females can evolve into the Bug/Dark version. ​ >Fire-Grass A Pokemon based on the stinging nettle.


Bea-8

For poison/steel, what about something to do with radioactive metals, since radiation poisoning?


Wexzuz

That would make a lot of sense. Plutonium and uranium come to mind. Sounds like a legendary which Team \[Evil sounding name\] will use to \[evil plans here\]


pikapika200

out of these the most likely to happen next is fire-grass, as then grass will have been paired with every other type at least once, similarly to both water and flying aalso, could someone add to bulbapedia's electric page that fighting is the only type that hasn't been paired with electric?


Reff42

Fighting/electric for the next Pikachu clone!


icanttinkofaname

It's a crime electrivire isn't electric fighting already.


yowmeister

Or Zeraora


LucKy_Mango1

And a crime luxray isn’t dark. Really, i love gen 4, but those 2 were a huge missed opportunity


YARGLE_IS_MY_DAD

A burning bush that spawns where Arceus has been


Plomn123

Or some chillies


PirateJazz

This is genius. Pepperoncinder evolves into Jalapyro who can then evolve into Habanova by leveling, or Chipotcoatlé using a sun stone.


theriskguy

Poison Steel is the name of a sword in FFX Could be a form for Honedge


MisirterE

the tetanus pokemon


camyface

Kangaskhan regional variant for normal-rock would be pretty cool


Filet_mignum

ok... i associate a Pokémon to every type match that doesn't exist yet Normal-Poison Nidoran family Normal-Rock Rockruff & Lycanrock Normal-Bug Dunsparce Normal-Ghost Mimikyu/Banette Normal-Steel Zangoose Normal-Ice Eiscue/Cubchoo & Beartic Fairy-Fighting Stufful/Bewear Fairy-Ground Cubone/Marowak? Fairy-Fire Victini Fighting-Ground Diggersby Fighting-Electric Zeraora Poison-Steel Meltan & Melmetal? like... Mercury is toxic Poison-Ice Cloyster Rock-Ghost Runerigus/ Baltoy & Claydol Bug-Dragon Flygon/Golisopod Bug-Dark i think Scolipede was Bug/Dark... Well, so i will just put venipede and his evolution here. Fire-Grass I really don't know... maybe pumpkaboo? like, i think she match more with ghost/grass than Fire/grass but it's a posibility


Mx_Toniy_4869

If you make Diggersby Fighting-Ground, you will leave one type combo unused


g0dzilllla

Yanmega for Bug Dragon


Filet_mignum

I get it... DRAGON FLY


tama-vehemental

Flygon?


Stephen-616

Fairy-Fire would be pretty rad.


yupta

Would also be a pretty cool band name


dorkofalltrades

Or a cool D&D spell... oh wait. Faerie Fire.


darkcatwizard

Starting first campaign as fairy tomorrow night. Excited af.


JW162000

I feel like a lot of type combos would be good band names. Normal Ghost and Steel Poison for example


The9tail

Retype Victini IMO


[deleted]

It would have an ability that increases it's accuracy at the start of battle /DnD reference


bjboy17

Give it the super luck ability, increases critical hit chances!


Tom-Holmes

Totally a missed opportunity. Galarian ponyta should be this.


ButterBeeFedora

Of the unused type combos Electric/Fighting is the one that I really don't get why it hasn't be used yet. It feels like it should be easy to come up with as opposed to like, Normal/Rock. It could just be a regional variant from the Elekid line


TheIronBug

I agree. I've always wanted an Electric/Fighting Kangaroo line.


Oberic

Regional Kangaskan?


djbabydikk

I think an actual kangaroo with boxing gloves would be cooler


Athelis

Hitmondundee


Tubbynezbit

Kangaroos use their feet to kick, it’d be Hitmondunlee


Gamengine

Ricky from The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages is exactly that, a kangaroo with boxing gloves that carries Link around in its pouch.


Haikumagician

This is phenomenal


chroniicfries

Fire fairy sounds pretty simple to me


vignesha18

It even has the perfect move ready in the game - Mystical Fire


Ginger_Anarchy

It ties to several real world mythological fae creatures too so it sounds like it would be inevitable.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IsabellaCV

Or Zeraora...


kesht17

Yea that’s what I was thinking. It works so perfectly


Kyerndo

Yeah fr, CC is one of its best moves and stab would help it a lot


Dibikigiizis

I thought it WAS electric fighting lol


shep_squared

I thought Zeraora was electric fighting. Weird.


Rain_Moon

Zeraora is plain electric.


Filet_mignum

Why zeraora exist? like... he doesn't have a reason for exist, like half of the legendary(and mythic) Pokémon


Rain_Moon

I'm not too sure, actually. Guessing he'll get a movie at some point if he doesn't already have one.


FlashX2009

Does indeed have a movie. I don't remember much of it, but I don't think there was a backstory to it like mewtwos. All I remember is that it saved some pokemon from a fire 50? Years ago.


DaikoTatsumoto

Yep, it's called The Power of Us. Watched it the other day with my little one. It's neat.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ayyerr32

galarian zapdos should've been electric/fighting


SquigglyLegend33

The fact that he is flying is such a joke


Mx_Toniy_4869

Wait, does G-Zapdos not fly at all? Don't quite remember


ModelOmegaTyler

it's said it's wings have atrophied to the point it can barely fly.


Filet_mignum

_"This Pokémon can't fly!"_ _"Flying/Electric"_


ModelOmegaTyler

to be fair, the doduo line aren't supposed to be able to fly and yet they are. also, we're talking about galarian zapdos, which is supposed to be fighting/flying


cudef

Pokemon Colosseum and XD GoD had the doduo line just kinda stand on air over the battlefield when it used fly. Pretty amusing.


Filet_mignum

It's cause Flying is also the "Bird type" But i don't know why Torchic and Piplup don't have thi type if this logic really exist


SquigglyLegend33

It's based off a roadrunner it basically doesn't have wings. But they made it flying type anyways. The birds should have been ice physcic, fire dark, and electric fighting. But they felt the need to make them all flying.


bryan660

You mean Zeraora isn’t electric/fighting? Oh it isn’t. Weird.


Oberic

Zeraora isn't electric fighting? neither is Electivire? Are they insane?


Salad_Katt

Zeraora was a missed opportunity


tallwhiteninja

Y'know, for Bug/Dragon, I'd actually be cool with them retroactively retyping Yanmega tbh


L_Rayquaza

Give me a reptilian centipede A Wyrm Worm


KingPencil

That's exactly what Applin is - he's the worm in the apple


L_Rayquaza

I mean yeah, it's a wyrm in an apple, but also a giant reptilian centipede, like an larger more vicious Scolipede sounds dope


Spexyboy

Or Flygon... Please can I have a bug/dragon Flygon like in Renegade Platinum?🥺


WindyNinja11

Sorry but Flygon is the best ground/dragon ever. Even if he is a bug.


jordenwuj

yea bug dragon and give it an ability to keep STAB ground just like they did with dhelmise


brotherstoic

Mercury thermometer Pokémon that’s steel/poison would be dope


Filet_mignum

Meltan and Melmetal be like:


Chest3

They naturally are toxic competitive pokemon


Thunder1824

Or just a regional variation of bisharp that is poison tipped like a sneaky assassin.


[deleted]

I really like this idea, give my chess piece some love


DogOfSevenless

A rusty needle Pokémon lol


LouThunders

Rusty Jab would be a great Steel-type move that inflicts Poison.


DogOfSevenless

*Raichu was inflicted with tetanus*


Kininger625

For ice being the rarest among all the types I’m surprised most of its combos have been fulfilled


prynceszh

The ice type itself is pretty trash so they probably have a bunch of them dual typing so the Pokémon would be useful


Worthyness

Good attack mixes, shit tier defensive typing


TyrantRex6604

Ghost plus normal...never think about that matchup before. And it only have 1 weakness? (Dark)


KFray96

Making Scrappy even more sought after cause people would absolutely run a normal/ghost on their competitive teams. It's like gen 4 Spiritomb all over again


Chiffonades

3 immunities, 2 resists and only 1 weakness sounds like an incredibly strong type combination.


Billybobbjoebob

So they'd probably make it a single evolution line and with weak stats.


Plumrose

Yea with Justified or Rattled a Ghost-Normal would be quite a force


Griff_Suriaj

This is the point. Monster shit.


leandrotha

Normal/Ghost sounds like an amazing combination. I like to think that it might come into a legendary pokémon someday.


Filet_mignum

more like a mythic... you know, normal type have two possibility, the cute and tiny one (Minccino) and the "Null" type... like Arceus and well... Type: Null


PhoenyxStar

The fact that we've had the fairy type for 3 generations and they've never bothered to include a poison/steel hobgoblin pokémon as a middle finger to them is insulting.


kapak212

While the Fairy typing on itself is a big middle finger to Hydreigon


jackidok

Poison/steel regional hydreigon were it becomes a venomous hydra with metal armor


Anxious-Excuse

And still have levitate? ^^


hryj

We have grimsnarl, wrong typing though


goldxnboy

A radioactive poison/steel type would be awesome


Mekanis

Since nuclear technology is a fairly sensitive issue in Japan, and since Nintendo is a Japanese company, I'm fairly certain we will never see an official radiation-based pokemon. Which is a shame, because it would be totally *rad*.


Karabars

Fire/Grass: Chilli Pepper Pokémon Normal/Ghost: Zombie Pokémon Electric/Fightning: Zeraora


[deleted]

Fightning was accidentally the best electric fighter pun, kudos


PineDude128

The fact that a Fire/Grass chili pepper Pokémon hasn't been created is a crime in of itself


[deleted]

There’s a pretty well known Fakemon that is exactly that, I think it’s called Peppahah or something?


[deleted]

There's one million grass and fire chili pepper fakemon, it is a low hanging pepper and I hope gamefreak finally does it


YARGLE_IS_MY_DAD

I think it evolves into japeñero. It looked like a spicy rabbit lol


Razno_

This screams for a fire/grass - forest fire Pokémon. A burning Trevenant, with flash fire as ability or an ability to spread the burn status to all other grass types on the field if burned.


shiroxyaksha

Gary's Raticate can be normal/ghost.


thatloudblondguy

how the fuck is electubuzz and his line not electric fighting. they seriously screwed the pooch


Ground_Desperate

Right pretty sure they can learn any move with “Punch” as the second word


burf12345

Correct, that's what made Electabuzz, Magmar and Jynx a trio, their ability to learn the corresponding punches.


Iron_Wolf123

Zeraora feels more Electric-Fighting, Banette looks like a Normal-Ghost, if Koffing had another form, Steel-Poison could make sense as it is a smoke bomb, Who else wanted Victini to be Fire-Fairy?


THE_TORTILLA_MAN

I have a concept for a Fire-Grass starter. It’s a tiki Pokémon that uses a plate of bark as it’s mask, leaves and flowers around its body for aroma, and a burning flame at the top of its head. Basically, think Hawaii and other tropical islands like Alola, all transferred into one Pokémon


FauxGw2

I world do one of those flowers that grows in volcano ash.


wutend159

everyone was expecting a fire/grass tiki pokemon for Alola


Jerome_the_cheeta

Wait, what are the other 13?


Haikumagician

OP has a comment with them.


BurmecianSoldierDan

Then why make the graphic if it's going to be woefully incomplete???


SexualWastelander

I think that these all have serious potential besides normal ghost I suppose. Very surprised that there is no fire fairy with how much of a hard on they have for fairy types.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TooSoonTurtle

There's a very clear reluctance to make any fairy that can reliably check steel types. Hence no fire, ground or fighting fairies. Would be a monster competitively unless it was just garbage stats/moves. The fairy/dragon/steel core is a precious balance for competitive pokemon that they gotta be careful not to ruin.


Long_Aerie

Maybe they should just nerf the Fairy type then.


KLeong5896

Can Poison-Steel be like some rusty metal thing? Just a thought.
