The most inappropriately typed Pokemon

[Neon_Seadra No. 10]

Luxray; Really, GameFreak? Really? Just Electric? *Mutters angryly*

Noctowl; Learns just as many Psychic-type moves as Normal-type moves, why not make it Flying/Psychic.

 

[Falconwing]

Daikenki should have been Water/Fighting.

 

[Fletcher.]

Psyduck should have been Psychic.
Also, why is Jirachi steel?

Meteorites.

Also, Furijio should've been part Dark-Type, because it's that scary.

 

[Neon_Seadra No. 10]

Daikenki should have been Water/Fighting.

After the whole "IT'S WATER/FIGHTING!!!!" thing wore off, I thought it'd be Water/Ice. Either typing is better than just pure Water IMO.

 

[SharKing]

Daikenki really should have been Water/Fighting, to highlight the samurai section of its interesting origins. I thought this was their pride and joy this Gen, but the pure Water thing and those stats say otherwise.

Or Daikenki could be Water/Steel since samurai uses steel blades.

I always despise Mawile being a steel type. It should be a dark/ghost. It's origin said it's based on a Japanese ghost. Mawile being a deceiver pokemon, deceiving is associated as a bad act, so it's dark.

Why is Empoleon a steel type? If anything, Water/Fighting or maybe even Water/Flying (since it IS based on a bird)
I think Blastoise would be better for the Water/Steel typing, since it has metal cannons.

Steel is can be associated with crown, the trident on his head. Empoleon is made to have the appearance or vibe of a proud emperor penguin. Penguins are of birds family but they can't fly.

[Tripleton]

I honestly think that Lugia should be Psychic/Water

 

[TheOneAndOnlyPorygon]

Psyduck isn't psychic?

 

[TaoistNeji]

Noctowl; Learns just as many Psychic-type moves as Normal-type moves, why not make it Flying/Psychic.

It would lose its immunity to Ghost-type then..

Psyduck should be Water-normal if it's really can't take being hit (weak against Fighting-type) and Golduck could easily be accepted as Water-Psychic.

Cloysters on the half shell, thus it's Water-ice. ;-) lol

I like Altaria, but why's it Dragon-type? Doesn't seem much like a phoenix.

Does anyone else think Spite should be a dark-type move? The idea of doing something Spiteful seems to fit better with the Dark-type than Ghost to me.

 

[Ratical]

Psyduck isn't psychic?

This always got to me. I understand that Psyduck's Japanese name is just "Koduck" ("little/young duck"), but if the game and anime and everything else are constantly referencing its psychic powers, they should have just made it part Psychic. Psyduck itself might have an excuse, since the reason it keeps getting headaches could be because it's not actually a psychic type and its mind just can't handle all the psychic energy, but Golduck has no excuse.

Also, Torkoal should be Fire/Rock since it burns coal inside its shell (as opposed to Numel, who burns magma and is part Ground). Apparently this is such an obvious choice that the trading card game mis-identified it twice as a fighting type (TCG version of rock/ground 'mons).

 

[Twylis]

I'mmmmm gonna say Cradily, since it's some sort of prehistoric coral thing and therefore not even remotely similar to grass.

 

[Noctis]

Flygon should be Dragon/Bug and Drapion should be Dark/Bug imo.

 

[sloth]

Luxray really should be part dark type, it would've gotten STAB for Crunch and Night Slash( plus one would assume he would have gotten more dark attacks to go with his typing, like pursuit since he's obviously a hunter). One of his abilities is Intimidate which just sounds Dark to me.

Also look at flint and volkners double battle team,
each one is a counter part to the others
Magmotar=Electivire
flareon=jolteon
houndoom=luxray

luxray was obviosly meant to be part dark but for some reason didnt get the typing in the end.

 

[GopherPhase]

Meguroco should've been Water/Dark. Considering it's based off of a Mugger Crocodile the typing would've been absolutely perfect for it. Besides, did we ever have a Water/Dark typing before? I don't think so.

Sharpedo said hi.
Besides it is a DESERT CROCODILE. IT LIVES IN A DESERT. GET OVER IT.

I totally forgot about Sharpedo, thanks.

Also, I know it's a Desert Crocodile, but the appearance and the secondary typing of Meguroco suggests that the inspiration for this Pokemon mostly came from the Mugger Crocodile, a real-life crocodile located in Asia. Heck, even its name and the names of its evos and their appearances are a nod to muggers in general and the Mugger Crocodile, not to mention that the Ground primary typing could come from how the Mugger Crocodile lives in marshes, and marshes are generally very muddy, and mud is associated with the Ground type in the Pokemon Universe.

 

[Koukoubean]

Gochiruzeru (and maybe the whole line too) should have been Psychic/Dark. And not only for the Gothic style; stars are associated with the nighttime, thus Dark-type being the best choice for a second type. That's what I thought.
