Friendly reminder that Cubone "wears the skull of its dead mother on its head".
The connection to death alone is enough to warrant its ghost type. One could even go as far to theorize that the skull of its deceased mother is filled with energy or whatever that ghostly stuff is which upon...
It obviously became a Fire type to confront the Grass types, not Ghost.
The Ghost typing might be related to the "sixth sense" that Marowak developed.
Alolan Raichu is the worst Alola variant in terms of explanation as for how it gained the typing because at least for Marowak we were given...

- Islands? Check.
- Unconventional gym format? Check.
- Doing stuff and activities other than battling for badges? Check.
- Alternate forms of Pokemon exclusive to...

Alola Exeggutor being Dragon really is random...
Already posted this in the contest thread, so I thought I could share my explanations here. :D
Water/Steel Onix - the Crystal Onix that appeared in the anime. It had resistance to water and could practically live under water, hence the typing.
Fire type Koffing- unlike in Kanto where there was...
The description also implies that while they're normally slow, on ice and in snow they move swiftly, implying some sort of ice version of Sand Rush.
