@@DavidGarcia-of1cn while I understand that, the way things have gone it appears Normal isn't actually meant to be a representative of Sound, but instead just a placeholder type, something more like "we know this Pokemon has a type/another type but we can't determine what that type is, so until we figure it out it'll just be Normal or type 1/Normal" we see this as the case with Fairy types, as some pure Normal Pokemon (like Snubbull) were retyped to be pure Fairy, and ones that had a Normal type along with a second type (like Togekiss) also had the Normal replaced with Fairy. Basically, we came to more or less the same conclusion, we just did it in different ways.

@@lordofninjas1 no? the water, electric, and rock types have better control over those elements than a normal type does. or in some cases are just a fish or covered in rock like hide.
one of the origins of Rampardos is the genus Dracorex of the Pachicephalosauridae family, which means Dragon King. so, yeah, Rock/Dragon is a good combo.
I think fighting would have worked better given its contrast to bastiodon. Being steel, it resembles a door or gate, and rampardos represents the battering ram. So it fights throw the gate by bashing its head, and rampardos and rampage...mad? Rage? Gives it a reason to fight? Bit of a stretch but I also want to leave the dragon type with tyrantrum
In the Japanese language, “dinosaur” actually contains the word for “dragon”. That’s why a lot of characters that use dinosaurs in any way usually have a dragon somewhere. Rex Raptor from Yu-Gi-Oh has Red-Eyes Black Dragon, despite being entirely dinsosaur-themed. All devil fruits in One Piece that turn you into a dinosaur get the word for “dragon” instead.
I mean, the only thing that makes it a Dracorex over a Pacycephalosaurus is the spikes, but Drakorexes don't have the domes, which is more key to Rampardos than the spikes are. So personally I'd say it's not that much of a Dracorex, but I still think the dragon typing fits pretty well
I get that, but that's literally the only thing ground related that it does. I think it could be psychic, because of the mystical nature of it, but that's not great. My personal pick would be Dragon. It's a bit strange, but I think it fits the ancient titan idea pretty well.
@@AeonKnigh432That is still a huge part of it. There are far too many of both psychic and dragon legends, and I think geound/fighting is perfect for it. It also clearly has nature inspiriation in its design so ground (being nearly as associated with nature as grass is sometimes) fits even better
@@jgr7487 not necessarily a good one. Psychic needs a buff or two. and again, fairy for Manaphy makes a lot more since because it is a fairy (and it will make it a lot better :))
I think Manaphy should be Psychic with Phione being Fairy since they need to be different enough to justify Phione's existence and I think giving Fairy to the cuter one makes more sense.
I like how much thought you put into those videos. Some people would be like "okay Regigigas got some grass on it, so...Grass type". Thinking about its moveset and giving it the Fighting type 👌🏻 greetings from Germany!
Though if I remember well, its pokedex entry is kinda dark, right? Using light to attract its prey deep down in the water... I actually would go for insect typing. Not the most obvious but pretty suitable for his look and informations we know about him.
He pronounces it that way because that's how it's pronounced. Go watch Arceus and the Jewel of Life for proof - the Pokémon anime is dubbed by The Pokémon Company International, so all pronunciations in it since they took over from 4kids are the official ones.
To me, the idea of piplup/prinplup being ice makes a lot of sense because, since the final form is a steel type, the story could be that their ice became so cold and hard that it became metallic.
Honestly there's a lot of pure Electric post-Gen 4 too! I don't know what their obsession is; I mean sure it's only got one weakness but the type needs more variety...
Yeah, the idea with Burmy is that it gathers materials with which to cover itself, but those materials don't actually become part of its body until/if it evolves into Wormadam.
05:19 - Squirrels are arborial (live in trees), so I really don't feel Ground type is appropriate. I think more reasonable options are Normal (cuz it's a rodent) or Fairy (cuz it's cute).

I think that a suitable duel typing for the Buizel/Floatzel would be Water/Fighting just based upon their heroic nature (as stated in their dex entrees).
11:14 Because Finneon and Lumineon are so forgotten, i specifically went out of my way in Shining Pearl to use one on my team, and i'm really glad I did, because i ended up using Soak on Cynthia's Spiritomb and Garchomp and finished them both off with Magnezone! Lumineon saved my run!

I really think that the Kricketot line should’ve been Normal because they are pretty plain and Normal is basically the Sound Type, plus they learn plenty of Normal moves.
Knowing that i have a new vid from you to watch when i get home from my 10 hr overnight shift every week is phenomenal. Brightens things up after the start of the week night shift
"Pokemon Legends Arceus is going to be a brand new *TYPE* of pokemon game" ^Proof that cubones are funny because they think about their jokes further ahead than Light Yagami.
Considering Exploud is a normal type, as is the move Boomburst, I think we should consider Normal the unofficial “sound” type. So for that reason I would make Kricketot and Kricketune Bug/Normal.
The only thing that makes people think luxray is dark type is design, other than that nothing, luxray means light, its pokedex entry describes it as a hero, the exact opposite of what a dark type is
@@jeffreygao3956 Abosl warns people of incoming disasters which if you think about it is evil since you’ll live in fear of what’s going to happen in the near future
In my opinion, Uxie should've been steel type, mesprit should've been fairy type, and Azelf should've been fighting. It goes well together with their titles and forms a type triangle between them.
As was mentioned in the video: Uxie=Pixie, Mesprit=Sprite/Spirit, Azelf=Elf. (Fun fact, the "el" in "elf" is the same as the "el" in "eldritch," and also shares its origin with the "al" in "alien.")
Just because you want them to be different from each other doesn't mean you can freely give them whatever type you want. What you suggested is nonsense and doesn't even remotely fit their origin and appearance at all. I mean, Uxie = Steel how? XD face it, they're all fairy.
Honestly, I don't know why gamefreak is so afraid of changing their legendaries typings. I mean cresselia should have been fairy from gen 6 and up. It supposed to counter darkrai while in reality darkrai hits her super effectively lol. Should been changed into fairy along with celebi and the lake trio.
Yes! This is what i was looking for! Darkrai would be able to deal super effective damage (Ghost VS Psychic) while Creslia would also be able to do the same (Fairy VS Dark). The only slight advantage Darkrai would have over Creslia in this would be that Dark types are immune to Psychic, while Psychic/Fairy is not immune to dark type attacks (although the fariy type does resist so, normal damage). Still, it's a great matchup!
Nah, it's totally the best! Even when supposed getting destroyed by the other two starters it has a pretty big fighting chance and could OHKO either one back...
The sudowoodo line is actually rocks that are formed near dead trees when they get fossilised so they are still plant related so the grass type is a good idea Heck super cell did it in his famous ROM hack pokemon Radical red
@@sabercat5490 I would've said Fairy, but the whole idea with Lopunny was that it can make foes dizzy by dancing and fighting around them. Much like Spinda's swaying and teetering gimmick
My onlt reason for saying Luxray doesn't need the Dark type is because nothing about its pokedex entries hit at it being evil. Just because it looks edgy doesn't mean it is evil imo
@@nazeersadek6705 Because most non-Japanese players don't know that it means the Evil type in Japanese. It makes sense why they would make the mistake of thinking Luxray looks Dark Type
Carvine to me seems like dark type would fit well with it as it does look quite sinister and the plant its based off isn't exactly known for being friendly to its prey.
Sound = normal type, so Kricketune should be Bug / Normal Luxray sounds more like a Electric / Psychic type to me, they can look through walls and are based on sphinxes which are very wise like most psychic types. Rampardos is an obvious Rock / Fighting type, Pachycephalosaurus are known for their fighting.
Well I tried to make all Sinnoh pokemon dual type and got some matching, here is the list of them who didn't match Turtwig and grotle - rock Piplup and Prinplup - Flying Kricketot and Kricketune - flying Shinx- Normal Cranidos and rampardos- steel Pachirisu- fairy Buizel and floatzel- fighting Cherubi- Normal Cherrim overcast- dark Cherrim sunshine- fairy Shellos- ground Ambipom- grass Buneary- fighting Lopunny- fairy Mismagius- flying Purugly- fighting Chingling- fairy Munchlax- fighting Hippopotas- Normal Hippowdon- dark Finneon and lumineon- fairy Lickilicky- poison Magmortar- poison Leafeon and glaceon- Normal Porygon-Z - Psychic Uxie,mesprit and azelf- water Phione and manaphy- fairy Arceus- Psychic
@@emperorcubone I don't know why I thought it, but I used to be constantly surprised that it was just Grass type. Maybe due to Levitate? And its swooshy tentacles? Or maybe because it's on Route 14 in Kalos, near the Scary House? Whatever the reason, it gives me a macabre, ethereal vibe that I think would suit the dual typing. 🤓
Ngl Psychic/Normal Ambipom doesn’t sound like the worst idea. It is all about dexterity, which has relations to the mind, it has psychic colors and just overall feels trippier than your average normal type.
@@adamswirls Absol warns you of disasters, Greninja is a ninja and they are known to use dark tricks and techniques and Incineroar is based on the heel wrestlers who don’t play in a clean way like the ones in WWE
@@adamswirls Actually Incineroar & Greninja do have prominent sinister elements in their origins: Greninja is based on a ninja, which where assassins. Murdering people for money is pretty sinister. Incineroar is based on a "heel wrestler", which is a villainous or antagonistic character in professional wrestling. And as for Absol, you're right that he is not sinister, but he also proves my point that being Dark type is not about being black.
Poison type for Munchlax. The other pokemon notable for eating is Gulpin, a poison type, and Belch is a poison type move that would fit on Munchlax Would also consider psychic type since Snorlax is known for sleeping, rest is a psychic type move, and Munna/Musharna- pokemon associated with dreams-- are psychic too
Kinda always figured that Luxray doesn't really fit the dark type on the personality level. Yeah it looks scary but that's where the "it should be dark type" ends. If anything a typing for it's X-ray vision ability so maybe Psychic or something.
I know they have a lot of Flying type moves, but since Mantyke and Mantine are also Water/Flying, I'd go with Bug for the second typing on Finneon and Lumineon. They get access to some good Bug type moves too!
This may sound weird, but I would've given Darkrai the Fairy type as its second type as well, while it is well suited for Ghost, Darkrai's control over Nightmares gives it some magical element to it as well. Plus Cresselia and Darkrai aren't really rivals, it's very possible that they are actually friends, and it was Cresselia herself that ushered Darkrai to New Moon Island. Also, for the Lake Trio, I would've given these types: Uxie: Psychic/Dark (or Ghost) Mesprit: Psychic/Fairy Azelf: Psychic/Fighting
02:57 - Water is the best choice for Bidoof. Its connection to Water is expressed in its Move Pool and in its Breeding Groups, which are two aspects that you really shouldn't neglect in this kind of creative exercise.
I could personally see Carnivine being Water/Grass. Its body looks like a fishing bobber, It has leaves similar to plants that live in the water, the tentacle dangly things are actually owned by many marine plants, and the head seems similar to a lily pad.
I'd personally see Fighting for Buizel & Floatzel. Crasher Wake has a Floatzel as his ace, it gets Brick Break, Wake's Floatzel did some punching stuff in the anime that I forget Just seems fitting
For the longest time I actually kept forgetting Mismagius is a pure Ghost type. I was always convinced it was also part Psychic. And a the only Purugly supporter in the world, I would actually love for it to have a Dark type. I always thought it made so much sense for that Pokemon to have the Dark type!

The only thing that makes people think luxray is dark type is design, other than that nothing, luxray means light, its pokedex entry describes it as a hero, the exact opposite of what a dark type is
Absol is good and it’s still Dark type.
@@jeffreygao3956 absol has a really clear reason as to why, people believed it caused disasters
@@jeffreygao3956 Abosl warns people of incoming disasters which if you think about it is evil since you’ll live in fear of what’s going to happen in the near future
In my opinion, Uxie should've been steel type, mesprit should've been fairy type, and Azelf should've been fighting. It goes well together with their titles and forms a type triangle between them.
As was mentioned in the video: Uxie=Pixie, Mesprit=Sprite/Spirit, Azelf=Elf. (Fun fact, the "el" in "elf" is the same as the "el" in "eldritch," and also shares its origin with the "al" in "alien.")
Just because you want them to be different from each other doesn't mean you can freely give them whatever type you want. What you suggested is nonsense and doesn't even remotely fit their origin and appearance at all. I mean, Uxie = Steel how? XD face it, they're all fairy.
@@angeldude101 It's moreso reflecting on their themes
Uxie: Knowledge/Wisdom
Mesprit: Emotion/Courage
Azelf: Willpower/Power
The cherrim line having fire is great. Just give it explode or something and call it a cherry bomb.
*Cubone having the ground type*
Emperor: Why ISNT all Pokémon *Ground* Type?
I was looking forward to this. Awesome as always, m'lord Cubone. :)
16:07
+Adding the ghost type would make creslia's fairy type it's only weakness while still havin an advantage over cres
Honestly, I don't know why gamefreak is so afraid of changing their legendaries typings. I mean cresselia should have been fairy from gen 6 and up. It supposed to counter darkrai while in reality darkrai hits her super effectively lol. Should been changed into fairy along with celebi and the lake trio.
Yes! This is what i was looking for! Darkrai would be able to deal super effective damage (Ghost VS Psychic) while Creslia would also be able to do the same (Fairy VS Dark). The only slight advantage Darkrai would have over Creslia in this would be that Dark types are immune to Psychic, while Psychic/Fairy is not immune to dark type attacks (although the fariy type does resist so, normal damage). Still, it's a great matchup!
Shinx line: Based on light
The entire fandom: WHY IT NOT DARK!?
Honestly I'd cheat and give Arceus the ??? Type especially considering there actually is a ??? Type Arceus in the data
This video is how I learned Manaphy isn't water/psychic.
This may sound odd but I’d give Darkrai fairy type. It’s a spookster connected with the fairy-oriented moon.
Hi Man thanks for this series I love it a lot!
I love Empoleon and I love that Emporer Cubone likes the Piplup line. Most people rate it as its 2nd or 3rd fave Sinnoh Starter.
Nah, it's totally the best! Even when supposed getting destroyed by the other two starters it has a pretty big fighting chance and could OHKO either one back...
@@emperorcubone not to mention it looks cool. Its the whole reason i love steel types as my fave Pokemon type
I'm loving this series so far always wanted this
Well you have excellent taste in starters...
Thanks empoleon is my favorite to
The sudowoodo line is actually rocks that are formed near dead trees when they get fossilised so they are still plant related so the grass type is a good idea
Heck super cell did it in his famous ROM hack pokemon Radical red
I would've made Arceus a Normal/Dragon Type instead of Fairy due to its three primary children (Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina) are all Dragon type.
This one is the best one of the series.
Not too many Fairies or Ground Pokemon.
Although Pacharicu should be Normal.
Lol pacharicu
Wow I was actually thinking about when this video would be coming out yesterday.
June 7, 2021
The answer is almost always a Tuesday...
If Cubone doesn't know what type to give a pokemon he'll give up and just give em normal or ground
And that's a promise!
It's perfect to make the Finneon line part flying type because they do have butterfly wings.
that could also mean Fairy
@@jgr7487 it would be cool if the Finneon line did had the fairy type.
@@pinkprincess6136 Lumineon (from the Latin for light) does sound like a mon that should have Dazzling Gleam
@@jgr7487 oh that's a good information and it's interesting too.
Aipom- Normal/Fighting
Ambipom- Fairy/Fighting
Buneary- Psychic/Normal
Lopunny- Psychic/Fighting
Why Psychic?
@@sabercat5490
I would've said Fairy, but the whole idea with Lopunny was that it can make foes dizzy by dancing and fighting around them.
Much like Spinda's swaying and teetering gimmick
Yeayyy another part of this what if videos..! Terima kasiihh..!! (Thank you). Greetings from Indonesia🇮🇩🇮🇩, Your Imperial Majesty 🙌🙌
The Kricketot line should have been dark since crickets usually come out at night
Wrong definition of "dark."
S/O to the most underrated poketuber!!!
One of my favorite series in all of Poketube. Gonna be sad when it’s over
My onlt reason for saying Luxray doesn't need the Dark type is because nothing about its pokedex entries hit at it being evil. Just because it looks edgy doesn't mean it is evil imo
You’d be surprised how many people don’t understand what the dark type in Pokémon really means
@@nazeersadek6705 Because most non-Japanese players don't know that it means the Evil type in Japanese. It makes sense why they would make the mistake of thinking Luxray looks Dark Type
I think kricketot line should be normal because normal is usually associated with sound (exploud, jigglypuff, etc)
I honestly for the longest of time up until a few years ago thought that Carnivine was already a Grass/Poison type, but nope it was pure Grass-type.
06:16 I'd give Cherubi & Cherrim the Fairy type.
Sweet fruit and festive pink flowers, it's cliché but it works.
Cubone: I relegate you to THE GROUND TYPE
Ah yes, because the Pokemon whose name is literally "Lightlight" and has X-ray vision should be part Dark purely because it has black fur.
Thank you, I'm glad you understand...
Carvine to me seems like dark type would fit well with it as it does look quite sinister and the plant its based off isn't exactly known for being friendly to its prey.
Sound = normal type, so Kricketune should be Bug / Normal
Luxray sounds more like a Electric / Psychic type to me, they can look through walls and are based on sphinxes which are very wise like most psychic types.
Rampardos is an obvious Rock / Fighting type, Pachycephalosaurus are known for their fighting.
Like your vids! Love the dual series!!
Well I tried to make all Sinnoh pokemon dual type and got some matching, here is the list of them who didn't match
Turtwig and grotle - rock
Piplup and Prinplup - Flying
Kricketot and Kricketune - flying
Shinx- Normal
Cranidos and rampardos- steel
Pachirisu- fairy
Buizel and floatzel- fighting
Cherubi- Normal
Cherrim overcast- dark
Cherrim sunshine- fairy
Shellos- ground
Ambipom- grass
Buneary- fighting
Lopunny- fairy
Mismagius- flying
Purugly- fighting
Chingling- fairy
Munchlax- fighting
Hippopotas- Normal
Hippowdon- dark
Finneon and lumineon- fairy
Lickilicky- poison
Magmortar- poison
Leafeon and glaceon- Normal
Porygon-Z - Psychic
Uxie,mesprit and azelf- water
Phione and manaphy- fairy
Arceus- Psychic
For cricketot and -tune I'd go bug/grass. Most instruments that their design uses are made out of wood. And wood is obviously a part of the grass type
2:35 piplup even lives on the shiver snowfields in new pokemon snap
mr. reginald gigas...
I like it
Reginald Gigas got me lmfao
I always used to think Carnivine was Grass/Ghost, so I'd go with that, personally. Loving the series, by the way. 😊
Huh, that'd be interesting, but may I ask why? I kind really find anything ghostly about it...
@@emperorcubone I don't know why I thought it, but I used to be constantly surprised that it was just Grass type. Maybe due to Levitate? And its swooshy tentacles? Or maybe because it's on Route 14 in Kalos, near the Scary House? Whatever the reason, it gives me a macabre, ethereal vibe that I think would suit the dual typing. 🤓
I would personally make carnivine a flying type so it's super effective against bug. After all, it's based on a Venus Flytrap
This is a great video, so please ignore how the host ends each of his sentences with a weirdly deep last word, and give this video three *STOHRRRS*
Cant wait to see you do unova lol. Thats a huge region full of pokemons.
Yeah, it's honestly more than I thought would be single typed...
Ngl Psychic/Normal Ambipom doesn’t sound like the worst idea. It is all about dexterity, which has relations to the mind, it has psychic colors and just overall feels trippier than your average normal type.
04:07 I can't believe you gave Luxray's Dark type 3 stars. Sure he looks edgey, but there is nothing sinister about him.
A lot of other dark types aren’t sinister either, like Absol, Greninja and, Incineroar
@@adamswirls Absol warns you of disasters, Greninja is a ninja and they are known to use dark tricks and techniques and Incineroar is based on the heel wrestlers who don’t play in a clean way like the ones in WWE
Finally someone who understands what the dark type in Pokémon means cheers Tom
@@adamswirls Actually Incineroar & Greninja do have prominent sinister elements in their origins:
Greninja is based on a ninja, which where assassins. Murdering people for money is pretty sinister.
Incineroar is based on a "heel wrestler", which is a villainous or antagonistic character in professional wrestling.
And as for Absol, you're right that he is not sinister, but he also proves my point that being Dark type is not about being black.
@@nazeersadek6705 Well I can't take to much credit, I've been brain-washed by Lockstin.
Poison type for Munchlax. The other pokemon notable for eating is Gulpin, a poison type, and Belch is a poison type move that would fit on Munchlax
Would also consider psychic type since Snorlax is known for sleeping, rest is a psychic type move, and Munna/Musharna- pokemon associated with dreams-- are psychic too
Kinda always figured that Luxray doesn't really fit the dark type on the personality level. Yeah it looks scary but that's where the "it should be dark type" ends. If anything a typing for it's X-ray vision ability so maybe Psychic or something.
Exactly you’d be surprised how many people don’t understand what the dark type in Pokémon means
Since Porygon2 is a wall and Porygon-Z is a special attacker, I think your type assignments work shockingly well!
Bravo, three stars!
I know they have a lot of Flying type moves, but since Mantyke and Mantine are also Water/Flying, I'd go with Bug for the second typing on Finneon and Lumineon. They get access to some good Bug type moves too!
Arceus as a duel type not an octodeca-type 🥴🥴🥴
It's time to d d dddd duel
@@sonsai10 haha quality typo from me there
This may sound weird, but I would've given Darkrai the Fairy type as its second type as well, while it is well suited for Ghost, Darkrai's control over Nightmares gives it some magical element to it as well. Plus Cresselia and Darkrai aren't really rivals, it's very possible that they are actually friends, and it was Cresselia herself that ushered Darkrai to New Moon Island.
Also, for the Lake Trio, I would've given these types:
Uxie: Psychic/Dark (or Ghost)
Mesprit: Psychic/Fairy
Azelf: Psychic/Fighting
02:57 - Water is the best choice for Bidoof.
Its connection to Water is expressed in its Move Pool and in its Breeding Groups,
which are two aspects that you really shouldn't neglect in this kind of creative exercise.
I'm for some reason always convinced the chingling line is part steel.
FINALLY, THE VIDEO HAS COME OUT!
I can't wait to see what Pokemon get Ground and Dragon!
But seriously, I do enjoy this series.
@@king_big_pp I enjoy the series too.
I could personally see Carnivine being Water/Grass. Its body looks like a fishing bobber, It has leaves similar to plants that live in the water, the tentacle dangly things are actually owned by many marine plants, and the head seems similar to a lily pad.
I 100% think that darkrai should be dark fairy since its not necessarily evil it doesn't want to give people nightmares
Then porygon should have been given fairy too.
8:40 I think Chingling is better suited as normal since normal is the stand in for sound type and the same can be said about the kricketune line
I'd personally see Fighting for Buizel & Floatzel. Crasher Wake has a Floatzel as his ace, it gets Brick Break, Wake's Floatzel did some punching stuff in the anime that I forget
Just seems fitting
For the longest time I actually kept forgetting Mismagius is a pure Ghost type. I was always convinced it was also part Psychic. And a the only Purugly supporter in the world, I would actually love for it to have a Dark type. I always thought it made so much sense for that Pokemon to have the Dark type!
I was thinking Fighting-type would fit Tangrowth pretty well just because of how it attacks with its arm vines.
Yay, my starting region!
I wrote down my ideas for the typings before watching the video to see on how many we agree. 27/57, not bad!
Hah, nice! Playing along at home...
