I remember James Turner once said on Twitter that even though he designed Poipole/Naganadel, he was not the person who determined their stats or even their names. So yeah I think you're maybe onto something there.
*gives a smoke bomb*If I get disappeared on account of my accidental discovery of GameFreak's stat assignment system, I'll try to leave a hastily-scribbled note before the door is broken down.
Many people probably already know that the original Legendary titans represent different periods in history: Regirock is the Stone Age, Regice is the Ice Age, and Registeel is Iron Age. Well, the two new titans added in Generation VIII also match certain history periods: Regidrago is the Medieval age, and Regieleki is the modern times.
What type(s) has the most?Fire and Dragon are tied for the least amount of status moves with each of them having only two, to this day. Fire has Will-O-Wisp and Sunny Day while Dragon had only Dragon Dance up until gen 8 with the addition of Clangorous Soul.
Haven’t counted but I’m almost certain that it’s NormalWhat type(s) has the most?
It is indeed. Normal hasHaven’t counted but I’m almost certain that it’s Normal
Yup. It's categorized as a status move in the games as well.Double Team (Raises evasiveness of the user, so status move in my book)

These moves are offensive moves with secondary effects, not status moves.Skull Bash (Raises Defense)
OMG, Rapid Spin as well now.

They are not. Status moves are moves that do not deal direct damage. Offensive moves that have secondary effects are not status moves. Even the games themselves classify moves that way.They are classed as Status moves though. I got them from Bulbawiki.
You're missing a ton of them here. (In addition to Finnish's point about Bind, Wrap, Skull Bash, and Rapid Spin not actually being status moves) The full list is:Growl

Tail Whip

...No? Hyper Beam is a Special move, Giga Impact is a Physical move. This isn't the sort of thing that's like, up for debate depending on the move's function, it's a trait as clearly-defined as the move's type.Apparently, Moves that have a recharging turn, are also counted towards status moves, which means for normal, those are Hyper Beam and Giga Impact
The only mention of "Status" on Skull Bash's page is in the PMD section.They are classed as Status moves though. I got them from Bulbawiki.
