@@hattruck8607 even wolfey makes a typo occasionally dw
Always
Fire fairy typing would have been cool :0
Hey Mr Wolfey, I really love ur videos but I'm from Spain and as u can imagine, I dont understand everything u say, u could open a way in orden to let us reading subtitles in our language (not only spanish), not just for us (that would be awesome, u know), but I think this act would improve ur views and follows. Greetings from Spain understanding 50% of ur videos.
Wolfey: “a ghost/normal type doesn’t exist yet”
5 days later: Hisuian zorua and zoroark: “bonjour”
about to say this lmao
IM SAYING
It looked so much like Ice/Fire. The attack Zoroak did in the trailer was obv Ghost so I guessed Ghost/Ice or Ghost/Fire.
Normal/Ghost ist truely weird though. Can't wait to see how it's playing out
@@Nigolasy if GF gives him a decent movepool and balanced stats between defence and offence it could be very useful. (I don't expect broken stats but at least don't make him have very low defensive stats otherwise it will die instantly most of the times)
I wanted to like the comment but i have to keep it at 420
Steel type is like that one friend everyone wanna hang out with.
I feel like Steel is one of the best types to slap into a Pokemon to make it instantly better. One of the best because I’d argue Ghost is in the running, gaining 2 immunities, though not always the best since adding it to Psychic isn’t the best idea. The immunity to Poison and resistance to Fairy really isn’t hard to argue against.
@@PansyPops flying is also super good
Ice type tho
Unless you're rock.
My boy Aggron...
Steel is bad
funny how a couple days later, ghost/normal has become the typing of Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark.
what is hisuian
The name of regional forms that existed during ancient sinnoh in Legends Arceus.
WAIT ITS GHOST JOR.AML
WAIT WHAT
Ghost/Normal ? What is it Danny Phantom?
Ghost is weak to ghost
Normal is weak to fighting
BUT
Normal/ghost is completly immune to both fighting/ghost STABs while having super effective ghost moves to hit it back.
It completly turns the tables.
It’s wonderful! And ofc I came here right after the new Hisuian forms being confirmed! So exciting!!!
@@RaptorzTheGamer Marshadow meeting Hisuian Zoroark: understandable, have a nice day
@@asuddenredfox3626 I just saw it and i am super hyped!
Normal/Ghost is the inverse of Ghost/Dragon - where pokemon like Giratina and Dragapult are quite literally their own worst enemies (and are the only two pokemon that are like this, as far as I know), Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark will be the only pokemon that can't STAB attack themselves.
I do'nt rly know if i just read it wrong(not a native speaker), but ghost does not hit fighting super effetive but neutral.
Sure the dual type would be hit super effektive but not both types, if that makes sense ;)
I hope we get a Normal-Ghost type mon soon. I would certainly add it on the team.
Me with Porygon 2 and gouirgeist on my double team: we don't have one?
Maybe a Bewear regional form? I have always thought that Normal/Ghost would suit a possessed toy theme.
I think some kind of ghost whisperer kind of Pokémon, maybe a regional form of Gardevoir? Like it mutated it's empathy powers to feel the dead?
@@tiredtortoise3396 or an original mon. I was thinking of what basic/normal/tradional ghost image that has been imbedded to us. And the most of us considers a white floating blanket/cloth, a ghost. So maybe a pokemon inspired by that idea/imagery? I wouldn't complain about it.
@@Chinatsu_Kano Good point! That would be interesting.
For the two type combos that don’t currently exist: I could picture a fairy-ground type as something like an earth elemental, maybe a dwarf or a gnome. Then I think a ghost-normal type could be a bedsheet ghost Pokémon, a generic (so, “normal”) kind of ghost, or maybe a shrodingers-cat type Pokémon that is both alive and dead.
Schrodinger cat Pokemon is such a good idea
If we ever get a Fairy/Ground I hope it's based off of the Pink Fairy Armadillo
Shuppet and Banette should be Ghost/Normal imo, like they are in some Rom hacks
A regional form of Golurk that switches Ghost for Fairy could be interesting. Instead of being animated by spirit energy, it's powered up by nature energy.
@@ayzix-polytopia3854 To go whole hog with that theme they could give it a signature ability (call it "superposition") where its form/move typing when attacking changes to monotype normal or ghost when it hits (STAB moves only so its distinct from Protean) with or is hit by an attack where one of its types would be superior. That would not only be extra consistent with the thought experiment (since the cat's wave function collapses to alive OR dead once interacted with), but give it no weaknesses, three immunities, and neutral or super effective STAB coverage against every type.
was expecting Dark/Ghost since it’s the classic no weakness type, but then the Fairy type came in and nerfed them
fairy types came out 7 years ago get over it
Dark/Ghost sucks offensively, as both of the typings are effectively redundant to the other.
Cough cough spiritomb cough cough
@@agrihonoberjorn1612 Spiritomb is a terrible, though. It flounders all the way down in PU where it's basically a not-totally-unusable version of Sableye. Mega Sableye is a much better Ghost/Dark Pokemon.
@@Bobsican while ice ground who got honorable mention only relevant for speedy pokemon
I feel like fairy/fire would be such a good offensive typing as well. imagine hitting dragon, steel, grass, bug, ice, fighting, dark for super-effective damage 🔥
Its an amazing typing, I thought it would be in the honorable mentions. Ghost/fairy would also be an incredible typing
@@luisnorbert1695 That's Mimikyu. And we know it's a monster if it gets to do it's thing.
if you are into that I fully recommend Pokemon Insurgence, a fan game. It's amazing for many reasons and one of them is Delta Pokemon e.g. a Fire/Fairy Chandelure :)
And then you get walled by Fire types
Still more than manageable, however

@@johnmeadows569 okay jonathan please calm down
I don't think there's anything wrong with them making a ground/fairy type and I think they should make one eventually. Every type combo should have representation. Having said that, it doesn't have to be some legendary with monster stats or something with a great ability. It can just be a regular Pokemon with mediocre stats and abilities that won't be able to define a meta.
we talkin about Gamefreak here, u already know they're going to make that mon busted as hell. Since when have they ever cared about game balancing.
Honestly I like the type combination because it seems like it could have some really cool myth inspiration. Like, a pokemon inspired by one of the many earth gods in mythology, or just the concept of Mother Earth itself. Or maybe earth fae? The concepts seem really cool imo
@@discodog4582 maybe base it off izanagi lol. The story of the ancient god who built Japan from dirt seems like a good inspiration for fairy ground
@@devilrider39000000 game balancing is a myth, gen 1 pyschic overpowered, steel and dark op from gen 2- gen 6,
@@richard35791 I'm fully aware game balancing is a myth because Fairy type exists. GF logic: let's nerf an OP type with even more OP type.
I have a particular fondness for Rock/Grass, good old Cradily. Taking the two types with the most weaknesses and making something with fewer weaknesses than either and fairly good coverage against some of the main weaknesses of those types is such a blessing... for Monotype teams. To make it actually good would probably require something that really makes up for its lack of resistances.
Wonderful video production by the way.
mm, I wish rillaboom had been rock/grass
Only type to resist both is steel, i think... rock deals with most of grass' weakesses, grass with rock's. Cradily is very underrated as a mon in general
@@martinus_mars I have a Deep Ocean themed team, and Cradily works wonders both as a Trick Room Meteor Beam attacker in Doubles and more defensively with things like Stealth Rock and Recover in Singles. One of the stars of my team.
If you would do a (duel)type rock paper scissors type of game, rock-grass is actually the most common typing in the best strategy, so (in a theoretical sence) you're very right in liking the typing
Cradily is such a menace on monotype rock teams i love it
On ground/fairy: I actually thought about that when I was using mega diancie: there is no mon able to resist earth power and moonblast, plus there is diamond storm for more coverage
There are only 3 that resist that I can think of: Steel/Flying, Poison/Flying, Fire/Flying.
So if the ground fairy type learns a coverage move super effective to flying then it will be flawless offensive coverage
Actually only electric works here for perfect coverage because of Steel Flying only being weak to fire and electric.
Technically, Shedinja would.
Skarmory, Talonflame, Crobat, Charizard, Corviknight.
To me I would make a Ghost/Normal type a animal of some sort
Personally I think defensive typing is a more important consideration than offensive typing. A lot of the time, you have coverage.
STAB coverage is really important
I think it depends on how you play. I personally use the strategy "they can't kill me if they are dead"
Both are very important, having STAB can be game changing since 50% is by no means a small boost. Types also mostly define what moves you will be able to use or not, while coverage is not always there when you need it (hello regieleki).
If what made a type good was mainly its defense, pokémon like Mamoswine and Weavile wouldn’t be as good as they are, for example.
Ice type is proof of this. Strong offensive type, catastrophically poor defensive type. Result: one of the worst types in the game. The fact that their moves are nearly ubiquitous on one of the strongest types in the game renders most actual Ice type Pokémon useless.
@@gubjorgm.2259 That's exactly how I play, too. Hence why I love really fast pokemon and built my first ever official pokemon team specifically to have STAB coverage against every type in the game at least once (except fighting apparently, but I still have a super effective move for that, it just doesn't get STAB; plus said non-STAB super effective move is on a pokemon that's immune to fighting anyway).
WolfeyVGC: The Normal-Ghost type doesn't exist.
Nintendo 6 Days Later: Presenting Hisuian Zorua and Zoroak they are Normal-Ghost types.
Me: That went from 0 to 2 real quick
I'm still waiting for the heroic bunny knight fighting fairy type.
@@janehrahan5116 oddly specific but okay

9:51 “another typing that doesn’t currently exist”
6 days later Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark reveals
Congratulations to Hisuian Zoroark making this video outdated already.
Not even a week
flying/electric is a really under-appreciated type imo. zapdos has the ability to run both extremely offensive and extremely defensive sets despite having only decent stats pretty much solely because the typing is just that good
@TinyHC relax 💀
@TinyHC none of it's stats are insane by today's standards. They are rather too balanced. You distribute base 600 in a poor way. Look at Kantonian Articuno: base 600, terrible stat distribution. Zapdos is solid because of typing and coverage. Its stats just don't hold it back.
@TinyHC Hey you're kinda stupid for that comment you made
@TinyHC since when zapdos has 600 BST? The legendary birds only have 580 BST. Before calling other people stupid, get your fact straight.
Emolga is decent in some meta games... Maybe
Was really expecting to see Steel/Flying. Skarmory, Corviknight and Celesteela are all absolute beasts
I don't think so, they're good mostly because their counters aren't too prevalent in the game, aka electric and fire types. Also, roost and leech seed is what puts them over the top imo. The typing is definitely good, but it's peak is more circumstantial.
@@svx4401 wow, you must think Steel/Fairy is really bad, cause Fire may not be the most prevalent in the, game Ground is. Adding to that the two main pokemon with that typing have broken abilities and stats putting them over the top imo. I agree Steel/Fairy is definitely good, but it's peak is more circumstantial.
Excellent defensive type, but far more limited offensively, steel doesnt help too much when combined with flying
@@thekingdra487 actually, steel hits rock/ice for SE one of which resists flying. Electric and Steel are the only two types which resist dual stab, and while I agree that offensively it's not the best, it isnt useless.
The defensive typing leads to a very interesting dynamic and is extremely strong, as evidenced by the Pokémon that use it having sub optimal stats yet still seeing direct counter play like trapper magnezone.
Every generation, Skarmory has been a champ and it's not even that good soaking hits theoretically. Flying removed the most common weaknesses of steel (fighting and ground - with strong common moves like EQ, CC, Superpower etc). Steel also removes rock and ice for flying, two extremely common offensive typings flying struggle with.
I don't think it's the best typing, but it definitely deserves an honourable mention as I don't think there is another type combo that literally doesn't have a weak Mon.
@@hamdepaf6686 maybe read stuff before crying. I never claimed steel/flying wasn't good. I specifically said it is good, but the mons that have that typing have some other things going for them as well that makes them good, not just the typing. I never said it's "bad". Same with you saying I'll think fairy/steel is "bad". It's a decent combo, but the typing isn't all that great. Why isn't Mawile OU? The prime users of the dual typing are good because of busted stats and abilities. The best typing atm is probably ghost/dark, but no one's talking about it because people associate the type with pokemons that share it, so they'll think of sabeleye and spiritomb.
I know you specifically excluded abilities but from the moment I saw this video I knew normal ghost had to be up there. And if you give it levitate like so many ghosts get, it becomes even more terrifying as a you mentioned, ground is a powerful offensive type. 4 immunities on one pokemon with only one weakness and no resisting blindspots is absolutely terrifying.
People will just stall it with toxic or some other setup, as any other way of fighting it sounds like suicide.
@@Da1337Man just press knock off lmao, excluding coverage considerations Bisharp is a pretty complete answer to it.
I mean, if you're a normal type it would be pretty strange to levitate
@@pierpaoloperseguiti7492 Normal is just things that represent real world creatures and objects that aren't better represented by a type, which is why do many rats and birds are normal, and ghost is ghost. Why wouldn't the ghost of a rat levitate?
Welp, looks like Legends: Arceus will be introducing that Ghost/Normal type everyone had been confused about for ages:
Hisuian Zoroark.
tyranitar goes brr pnce again if not banned
I would love to see a Wolfey Wideo talking about how he would balance the typings better to stop some OP types and help the weaker typings
Make Bug resist Fairy or make Fairy lose that resistance to Bug
Give Ice a ground and water resistance.
giving fire a resistance to fairy is arguably why fire dark is so potent on inciroar tbh, although his ability and access to snarl and parting shot is why its so good lol

Perhaps you could do a series like, "the best type to pair with ____" - The best type to pair with Dark, The best type to pair with Water, etc. Even if it doesn't exist yet.
Because while Dark-Ghost has only one weakness in fairy (which is a tough weakness to have), Ghost isn't a great type to pair with Dark because Dark already hit psychic and ghost 2x on its own (the same two types that Ghost 2x hits) - all ghost adds is the resistances to its weaknesses (bug and fighting). Dark paired with Fire resists the bug and fairy weaknesses but Dark doesn't do anything for Fire's weaknesses to Rock, Ground, and Water. Whereas a type pairing of Poison with Dark resists Dark's weaknesses to Fairy, Fighting and Bug, but at least Dark also immunes Poison's weakness to Psychic. Obviously this is what makes Drapion pretty good with only one weakness to Ground as well as some good abilities, moves, and held item combinations... But I reckon you could do a good job breaking down the other types like this.
What’s interesting is that Wolfey feels that Dark is the best type to pair with Fire.
@@RFE812 I don’t want to disagree with the world champ haha, but dark/fire suuuuucks 😂
I'm sorry, but being with the channel for a bit now and watching the editing get this good makes my little heart wanna burst with joy.
My prethoughts, starting wideo now. Steel/Fairy and Dragon/Water have always been some of my favorites from the ones that exist. Normal/Ghost would be cool if it existed but depends on stats but either way would be a good pivot type.
Now that freeze dry is used a lot, dragon/water pokemon wouldn't be as viable
@@levv7258 Yeah but the only one you run into it on is Kyurem and Alolan ninetails. Weavile and Arctozolt dont run it.
@@levv7258 and its hardly seen in VGC too.
Dragon/Water isn't bad but it has a massive problem: it barely resists anything. The quad resists to Fire and Water are really nice and the Steel resist is okay I guess but ......... that's it ? Wow, that's quite the lack of defensive utility.
@@sephikong8323 it has ice def x1. But yeah even palkia is rare to see
The most unexpected was Ground / Fairy - I really, REALLY like that combo. I kinda wish we see a Pokemon with that type combo as long as its not busted OP stats & ability wise.
The biggest problem for a Ground/Fairy is movepool issues. Most Ground-Type Special moves suck, but so do most Fairy-Type physical moves. Play Rough being 90/90 sucks, because it (and, by extension, Zen Headbutt) don't stick to the standard set in Gen 1 by BoltBeam and Psychic- 90 BP at 100 accuracy, plus a secondary effect.
But, like, Special Ground coverage that you'd actually want to use begins and ends at Earth Power.
Like, Pixilate or a Ground equivalent could maybe help solve that issue, but then our hypothetical mon has the power necessary to wreck house. And, since the weaknesses come from Water, Ice, and Steel, one of which it hits back super-effectively with *its own STAB,* you really don't have too many worries.
@@elijahpadilla5083 fast mixed attacker would work
Eq moonblast fire blast stone edge moveslot
I looked into this a while back after reading a Reddit thread on it. After reading through the serebii movedex for far more time than I’m willing to admit I found:
Earthquake Play Rough Donphan, no stab on fairy but fun to run for the coverage in a playthrough
And... carbink/diancie with earth power and moonblast, pretty terrible defensive typing and no stab on ground but they’re not horrible, ignoring the mythical Pokémon I always hated carbink for either being sturdy or just being a pain in playthroughs and still do because it can only learn earth power by move tutor (why did I buy both sun and moon and not wait and buy one of the ultras...)
Altaria- um... can learn earthquake? (How?) Gets stab moonblast and pixilate on mega but even though it has equal physical and special no sense splitting them
Sylveon- can learn dig... which seems both adorable and wrong but low physical
Also just throw hidden power ground on a moonblaster and you’re set
So not very viable, but fun to run in playthroughs

I love videos like these. Would you ever consider looking at individual overpowered or underpowered Pokémon and discussing how you would rebalance them?
This
This has been one of my favorite videos of yours. Combines your insightful analysis with your humor, and also tackles a pretty difficult question very thoroughly. The editing is also top notch
A ground fairy pokemon would be awesome, especially if it was one of those weird pokemon like Shuckle. An insane typing but a gimmicky pokemon
Or a fast special sweeper too. xD
It would go ham on the metagame. xD
@@MrHwilRRR no no no meta is already broken since primal groudon, or lets say from garchomp
@@MrHwilRRR fast special sweeper with sheer force, moonblast and earth power
Ubers, here we go!
Before I see first place:
I think Steel/Flying will win it. This type is actually amazing especially defensively but also offensively too with only electric resisting both stabs.
They literally made magnet pull just to make one pokemon (magneton/magnezone) specifically act as a permanent nerf to specifically just Steel/Flying.
And even this laser focused nerf doesn’t stop it being top quality.
And it's even more true when you realise how little Pokemon they've made with this typing compared to same of the worse ones.
I personally prefer Steel/Bug since it only has one weakness.
I also thought it would be Steel/Flying, they have good synergy
Tell me if I'm wrong, but I think magneton in gen1 had magnet pull and I can't remember any steel/flying gen1 mons so it wasn't made specifically for that typing
@@spand9043 There were no abilities until Gen3 and Steel type was introduced in Gen2. While I can agree that the pokemon wasn't specifically made to counter steel types I think we can say everything else around it (ability, moveset) was what made it so good at countering them.
I just wanna say, huge props to the editing, made it SUPER entertaining to watch
11:24 This will forever be one of my favorite Game Grumps sound clips, and the editing here is amazing
Honorable Mention from my side: Poison/Steel with Levitate would be beyond broken. I think the qwilfish variant from blazing emerald has that ability/typing.
I'll do you one better: a regional variant of shedinja with a normal/ghost typing
@@eduardoantohe5172 given the scarcity of dark type moves I'd say that would be pretty much immune to everything

@@elliotw.888 Maybe that's true in VGC but in 6v6 singles 3 mons on each team carry knock off
@@eduardoantohe5172 just make it electric with an air balloon then

Edit: oh well, zacian is broken what else can I say
Yeah before zacian existed magearna gave a lot of headaches
Normal/Ghost would be very useful on a hard-hitting Pokémon. Time to run a Normal/Ghost technician Slaking using a Smeargle with trick-or-treat and entrainment.
Hisuian Zoroark has a few words for you kind sir
we all can see how the quality in this videos have improved over time. good job for both of you, wolfey and the editor.
Agreed.
Steel is like always one of the best multitypes, but some other combos that are cool are dark-poison, water-ground, electric-flying, and normal-ghost.
Wth? I was just thinking of this video and we now have a Normal/Ghost type
Honestly I just want more Eeveelutions. Also, Dragon/Bug Flygon would be interesting.
Ghost/Normal for me. 3 immunities and only weak to dark. Ghost types are traditionally great specially offensive and normal types are known for having great offensive and supportive move pools.
Edit: glad to see it takes the #2 spot
Wolfey calm and analytical dialogue overimposed a video with hype meme style that looks like it was edited by someone with the energy of a kid after drinking Red Bull is so jarring ^^
Thumbs up if you came here after the anouncement of normal-ghost zorua and zoroark
If this was pre gen 6 then dark/ghost would've had to be on there it has no weaknesses
And it hit every type except steel for neutral

Who else randomly thinks about the best type combos and how certain pokemon match up to each other
literally me in school everyday
I do but it’s not randomly
I’m pretty sure nidoking can have the best possible type coverage. Not typing but has the best 4 moves possible. I don’t think 4 moves can hit every type super effective but it’s the closest
I love thinking about what unused type combos have the most potential. Fairy/Ground is an amazing one for instance (like Wolfey said). Fighting/Ground, Fire/Grass, and Fire/Fairy all are up there too.

so glad to see ghost/normal mentioned - I've been waiting for this typing to show up for a long time
congratulations you are done waiting 👏

Fire types tho.
This was a great video. I’ve actually spent more time than I’d care to admit googling this concept. Would love to see more like this.
For no particular reason, I hadn’t watched a wolfey video in a long time before watching this one. They videos have become very well polished, and the editing is really charming, imo :D
Yeah, this was a nice one; I was expecting the 4x weaknesses to be more of a detrimental factor than they were on the list at first
For explicitly Ground/Water wolfy explains it quite well, Grass isn't just 4x against it, it also is resistant to both.
If a pokemon is weak to say Ice, like ground/flying, but Ice isn't in turn resistant to Ground or Flying, the weakness is overall less of an issue as such pokemon have less opportunity to safely come into attacks of such a pokemon, lets say Landorus-T Earthquake while you have a Mamoswine. Mamoswine would still get 2HKO'd. You would rely on stats from say Avalugg to be able to check it almost regardless of typing to than use the offensive advantage. At this point it narrows it down to pokemon with stats able to use the coverage to their advantage rather than ones that recieve a Same Type Attack bonus. For example using Porygon-2 with Ice Beam making it possible such coverage, despite being 4x super effective, may not even One Hit KO. Contrary to say our Grass matchup to Ground/water where almost any Grass-type able to take none-stab Ice Punch/Ice Beam can suffice to come into a Water/Ground and retaliate with 4x super effective and Same Type Attack bonus boosted move.
A core aspect of pokemon is to come into attacks/moves of a certain pokemon, this is what distinguishes a check from a counter. One can keep your offensive momentum to force an opposing pokemon out while the other can gain offensive momentum and force the opposing pokemon out which is the bread and butter of pokemons competitive scenes and even nuzzlocking.
@@rhydonphilip Great explanation. Thanks.
Poison/Dark is one of my favorite typings. I swept a mono fairy team with Alolan Muk and it was so fun.
Funnily enough I feel like the two types that don't play well with steel are two common pairings with it: Ice and Rock. In both cases they have multiple overlapping weaknesses with steel that unfortunately end up hurting the two already hyper offensive typings a lot despite steel usually greatly boosting the defensive capabilities of a type it pairs with
that was a great video man.....thanks for the putting in the work
I honestly love this types of wideos, both informative and entertaining
The edits on the wideo are always so good. Loved this! I actually wrote a paper on this in high school.
And after finishing the video I can say we had the same conclusion about the best type combo!
If this video shows me anything, it's how powerful the Fairy type is and how I feel like it's getting more likely Pokemon will add another type into the game to nerf Fairies like how Fairies nerfed Dragons.
they could just nerf fairy like they nerfed steel, maybe making it weak to fire & be resisted by ice , or making it not resist dark & bug
@@Marcusjnmc I’ve never understood why it resists bug
Just make Bug-type super effective against Fairy. And Poison-type super effective against Water. That's how you buff two bad types offensive types
@@Marcusjnmc yes please all of these
except removing the dark resistance, that's cool
@@grunkleg.3110 Big brain over here I've been saying that forever. Though I would also add having Bug resist Ghost while we're at it.
Great timing on this video with the announcement of the first Ghost-Normal, Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark. Thanks, Wolfey!
Anyone here after Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark have not only been confirmed, but got the normal/ghost typing?
yeah finally my boi mamoswine gets some time to shiny with his unique ground ice typing. even if its just an honorable mention its still better than how most people ignore everything ice.
Still waiting for the day in which they make ice resist water. Goddamnit that would be so good for the meta game!
@@SenpaiTorpidDOW Ice has so many problems I don't understand. A good amount of the weaknesses are such a stretch does it really need ALL of them?
Fighting down to 1x would be enough of a "buff" not to break it I feel. Yeah, more resistances would be great (even if it is to "whatever" types like Bug or Grass), but I think doing something about the 4 weaknesses where ALL of which are decently popular (thanks fairy) is a bit more of a pressing matter.
Honestly, either of Fighting or Rock could go, but I doubt Nintendo would buff them enough to remove a weakness to entries and such.
I am so happy you had ghost/normal as I feel like this is the best combination in my opinion, 3 immunities defensively and the ability to hit everything for neutral minimally on the switch is so powerful, give it levitate and it has 4 immunities
This is what I want to see
Everybody gangsta till Excadrill breaks the mold
Nah, give it Water Absorb and an Air Balloon.
@@GynxShinx I see what you’re saying but, why is a ghost normal going to have water absorb
@@cosmicrefractions2834 Thirsty
I know we’re not including abilities, but Steel/Fairy with Levitate seems like it’d be pretty busted
Steel/poison with levitate would be absolutely busted
I mean, slap a type-negating ability to any dual type Pokemon normally weak only to that one single type, and you get yourself a monster that demands Mold Breaker to deal with. E.g., Water/Ground with Sap Sipper, Bug/Steel with Flash Fire, can't think of anything else right now...
Normal Types: Mama I'm scared
Normal Types when they are also ghost: I AM BECOME DEATH.
Fighting/electric is crazy. Omuran Machamp is a beast in Pokemon Empyrean, especially with sheer force, bulk up and poison jab.
Isn't the new Zapdos this typing now too?
@@christopheringram3597 nah, that's Fighting/Flying (which happens to be a great offensive typing)
@@emmamorris6577 damn I didn't realize, I assumed they got rid of flying on all 3 of them for their duo types.
Ghost/Normal doesn’t exist!
Laughs in Hisuian Zoroark
watching your videos for quite some times but i was truly caught of guard with that wolfey+vgc combination 😂
youve got a new subscriber
Wolfey - Normal and Ghost doesn't exist yet but would be a great type.
Game Freak just days later - hold my beer
New Zorua and Zoroark look amazing!
They announced a ghost/normal type, hisusian zorua and zoroark, just today. LETS GO.
10:46 OUR BOI, OUT BEAUTIFUL BOII IS HEREEEE.
Here comes the boiiiiii
please make more of this, this content is great and yea i was hoping it be ground and flying.
Gosh I love your editing style!
This was a lot of fun to theorize and the editing made it super fun to watch too. I just for funsies its always a laugh to see which would be the worst match ups too
You were early by one week. Ghost/Normal Hisuian Zorua line confirmed today
Loved this mate thank you 🙏
Wow what a great video Wolfey! Keep up the great content!
Before watching- I’ve always thought ground/ flying and electric/ flying were fantastic typings.
I'm still hoping one day we do get an awesome normal ghost type. It's one of my most wanted types, and I'm glad it made it to the list :3
Really interesting and thoughtful video!
Man you editing is great and the content is very good keep it up
Who's here after the new zoroark hisui form?
Wolfey: *Points out how we don't have a Normal/Ghost type in the games yet*
*1 Week Later*
Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark: Hello There
You're really good at editing!!!!
This is so cool because it makes so much sense! (Ground flying specifically)
Once, Wolfe sang:
“Real youtubists eat spicy food for lunch
I don’t have a very high spice toler-unce”
And as far as I’m concerned, it’s the only version of the opening song.
0:18 a wideo?
IVE BEEN ASKING THIS FOR SO LONG. THANK YOU
Lol that clip that played at Ground/Flying was perfect
Used aolan muk in my first moon playthough and felt that he was a monster
Used one in Ultra Sun, he damn near handled Ultra Necrozma by himself
