Why would a Banshee even be fairy type?
The only type that might suit it other than ghost would be dark, in vein of Absol.


The signalling the disaster, but not causing it reminds me of Absol.

You a very narrow view on what makes a fairy a fairy.

Why would a Banshee even be fairy type?

Actually, banshees are originally from Irish fae lore. Banshee - Wikipedia

 

[Lunala]

Mismagius losing the cute witch theme for a banshee theme, the latter of which are known for being ugly hags...Why? Adding a Fairy type sounds fine, mind. Making Mismagius non-cute/ugly? No thanks.

I really don't want them to throw amazing new ideas onto old Pokemon.

 

[TdDBergamo96]

New here so youll have to forgive the dumb question but of the pokemon revealed.

Is there a consensus on which might have an evolution besides. Yamper

I'd say Impidimp, Rolycoly, Alcremie, Yamper and Wooloo evolutions are 95% (I only say 95% because I don't work at gamefreak)
I know they've been shown at immensely high levels, but the starters have been seen at similar or same levels (Around 35-50).
Drednaw evolution is 60%.
Gossifleur evo is 40%
Corvinight and Duraludon are 10%.

lol Gossifleur evo is 100%- we've already seen it. XD

 

[PocketMonster]

I do hope that Eldegoss will evolve. I lost hope of drednaw having a evolution after seeing it's gigantamx form and i never believed it had a pre evo. hoping imidimp and roly coly will have 2.

I meant to write eldegoss XD

For speculation of their evolutions, here's my thoughts.
I used this page on serebii to scale my stats so they wouldn't be too crazy. Serebii.net Pokédex - Top 300 Attack Pokémon
Alcremie - Just a bigger girl with more pastry details. 2 evolutions. Name possibilities: Queencremie, Madassert
Type possibilities: Fairy/Psychic? They could put the calming aroma into a pretty interesting concept.

I like the breakdown here it all seems possible

 

[Leaf_Ranger]

Well, I'd like to see a fair and diverse amount of new Water Pkmn but unfortunately I'm not sure we'll get it.
Judging from the Galar region's artwork not showing that many routes across edges of the region as well as the method of crossing water being inflatable stuff for the bike which isn't resilient for an open sea crossing, I'm betting they won't have many Pkmn found in the see but more river and lake creatures like Sinnoh.

 

[yudgefudge]

We are getting a barracuda pokemon and a seagull-kingfisher esque pokemon thanks to affleck leak. So those two could be water pokemon.

 

[Phosphene]

From what we’ve seen, Galar actually has quite a few oceanic Water types: the Gastrodon, Toxapex, Pelipper, Laprus, Lanturn, Qwilfish, Mantine, Wailord, Jellicent, and Golisopod lines. There’s also the Inkay line which, while not Water types, fit into that ocean category in my opinion.

I've edited my original post because I was thinking of new Pkmn. That said, it would appear that Gyarados can appear at a lake that when riding a bike doesn't seem deep so it may just be a graphic issue!

 

[swiftgallade46]

Eh personally I’m kind of sick of water types. Alola had a bunch and we already have nearly every type paired with water on a non-legendary Pokemon anyway.

I'd welcome a Grass/Water Galarian Feraligatr or swamp creature as well as a new Water/Dragon viking inspired Pokémon and a new Water/Fairy.

 

[yudgefudge]

A Swamp Thing Pokemon? Yes please!

 

[Eeveely]

Raise your hand if you want a grass or normal-electric jackalope and a fire-grass red squirel pokemon

Don't we already have both of those pokemon...
