I have an idea of how to improve Ice Type Combinations. I would suggest making Ice resist Ground, Flying and Dragon to improve Defense. For example, Crygargonal before the buff it's weak against 5 Types Fire, Ground, Rock, Steel and Psychic and 5 Resistances Grass, Ice, Poison, Bug and Fairy. After the buff it only has 4 Weaknesses because it's not weak to Ground and gains 2 Resistances to Flying and Dragon.
Clearly this is ABR's doing, his tierlist has been doing things to Jim lately (I also blame the aero flamethrower crit, but this is a story for another day)
The Rock/Ghost section not mentioning that ghost removes rock's fighting weakness is pure slander. I will bring this forward to the horse council. Prepare to face their judgement. Thank you.
It's a shame because thematically, a chili pepper Pokemon as an interpretation of Grass/Fire is phenomenal, and Scovillain is an S tier name. It just fumbles right at the finish line by being, well, not good.
Funny thing about Hemogoblin's stats is that they're intentionally underwhelming, since the objective was to create a Pokemon that was good without any stat at 100 or more. What's even funnier is that it worked a little too well, to the point where it had to be nerfed by removing Boomburst than later Bitter Blade from its movepool.
Boomburst wasn't actually removed for being too strong on it, more just to tidy up it's movepool and reduce the set variance one had to prep for against it.
@@hirocoldy6023 For example what if there was a Hoenn variant of the Clefairy which now lives near Fallarbour town in which to adapt to the constant soot and gained the fire type. A cultural one could be a version of Grimmsnarl from Unova and instead of being based on Big foot.

It has a few decent support moves but nothing special, but why don't they just give it Fake Out? Almost every single cat pokemon in the game gets fake out..I’d give it +20 to its speed & Sp.def..since luxray is 1 of the weakest fully evolved Pokemon ever designed..a regional version with better stats would be cool. So much they could do with the design..I’d make it faster so it can at least compete with arcanine at the very least.😅 Liepard make it far faster and give it an ability which boosts evasion or lowers your opponent accuracy in increments. Due to how elusive snow leopards are in real life. There stealth skills are so nuts you can be looking at one 15 ft away in its native environment an you’d have a hard time catching a glimpse of it.
This seems to be a pretty common opinion but it's honestly crazy we haven't had a Rock/Ghost type yet. We've had two Ground/Ghosts (Golurk and Runerigus) who could have been Rock instead, we've had Ghosts like Sableye and Spiritomb themed around rocks, we've had a Ghost type with "stone" in its *name* (Houndstone) but never had a proper Rock/Ghost type. It'd be so easy, just theme it around tombstones. That's half the design right there
Galarian Corsola and Cursola should in no way have been mono-Ghost. They literally have the same rocky body (albeit bleached) that gives Johtonian Corsola its Rock type. There's zero excuse for a typing so clearly in error.
The thing with Golurk & Runerigus is that they’re made out of clay, and Gamefreak considers clay to be closer to soil than stone. Makes sense, clay is just really thick mud that’s been packed and dried to make their bodies, where as stone is highly compressed mineral clusters
Hey, Camomons player/council member here. (That Other Metagame where your first two moves decide your type.) Ground/Fairy is obscene. It has so many defensive benefits while also being one of the best offensive types in the whole tier. Ground/Fairy Great Tusk has pretty consistently been the best pokemon in the tier despite any DLC powercreep and the type was a huge contributor to Enamorus' quickban in the OM with the earth power/moonblast combination off it's good speed and gigantic spattack, and was even a top pick for Ursaluna Bloodmoon in the 5 minutes we decided to test it. Its also been one of the best types for both Glimmora and Terapagos (Who we didn't quickban because Tera is banned in camo as a baseline) despite neither even having moonblast, its so good it's worth using with Dazzling Gleam. Jimothy is right that a ground/fairy would need to be REALLY REALLY bad to not see top tier play, and could possibly be one of the best standalone types in the game (By far the best unused type combination at the very least.)
Sound and music are frequently related to the normal type in pokemon (see Meloetta, Exploud, Chatot, Squawkabilly...). I think they could lean into that for some of the new normal dual types. Kricketune could totally be a Normal Bug
It's a regular trend in hack rooms to make kricketune a normal/bug type, boomburst with stab or just a support pokemon with fake out and sticky web, it's cool how much love hackroom devs give to that little critter
Given how Normal is mostly chucked on regular animals who are otherwise unremarkable, I would propose Cubchoo, Ledyba, Cufant and Rockruff as victims of this undertaking.
I HAVE to mention the bug/ground type. It's only on Nincada and Wormadam Sand, which means that there's no full evolutionary line that has it, and it wouldn't be hard to make a really cool design with it

@@cabrondemente1 As gen 6 onlne player, there is nothing more horrid than fairy steel. Back in gen 6 it was the most annoying dual type to match. Apparently wasnt as bad by gen 7 anymore tho
Ideal inspirations for each one, myself Normal/Ice - A smilodon with frosted fangs and coat. Normal/Rock - A glyptodont with a jewel-encrustated shell and gem-like tail. Normal/Steel - An okapi form that exudes a liquid metal to deflect blows. Normal/Bug - A grub-like creature that uses silk to resemble more menacing bugs. Bug/Dragon - A drake with a parasitic creature fused to it. Fire/Fairy - A gremlin known to steal warmth and fire to torment travellers. Ground/Fairy - a queen mole rat who commands her colony. Ice/Poison - a gem-like bacteriophage that preys on other poison-types to drain their toxins. Ghost/Rock - A coalition of fossils and tombstones that forms a gladiator. Ice/Fire - Like Zelda's Gleeok, a twin-headed wyrm divided down the middle between fire and ice. Dragon/Fairy - A bug-like dragon that covets mystical gemstones.
Fregular is that pokemon you can only find in the middle-end of the main game. Too weak to be used competitively even in PU and level too low to be used for the elite 4 as it has to play catch up. Plus it has a 2% encounter rate. This is exactly something Gamefreak will create. It would be sent to the realm of forgetfulness, like Lumineon or Heatmor. It wouldn't even get a cute pre-evo to sell plushies or a "sexy" evo so rule 34 could pair it with Lopunny or Gardevoir. Fregular...It is just...there.
Why didn't you talk about Unremarchnid's mega evolution? It got an amazing buff to its Speed and Attack stats as well as it's new ability "Creepy Crawley". It was an OU staple for its ability to counter Mega-Kangaskhan and Mega-Gengar.
Mr Jimothy Cool is clearly biased against unremarchnid, even in generation 8 and 9 it's had a good niche as a zacian counter that's kept it relevant despite losing it's mega form, the Unremarchnid community will not stand for this
The leaks confirmed that Pokémon Company looks at fakemons, and rejects concepts that look like already existing fakemons. This made me sad, that Chezetta/Mozzamazel from Pokémon Clover will never be an official Pokémon.
There is one potential, but not absolutely awful, way that could hinder a ground/fairy pokemon: If it was only a physical attacker Granted, knowing gamefreak, it'd get a signature move that makes this issue irrelevant, but if it didn't, then its fairy stab would be stuck with the 90% accurate play rough, unless it gets lucky and gets the weaker but accurate spirit break, which only two pokemon have anyway. However, this alone wouldn't make a ground/fairy pokemon suck, but it would be annoying and difficult to only have one inaccurate physical fairy stab option.
Normal type pokemon are often more like regular animals. Bug is also like this but specifically for bugs. This could be the reason why there are no bug/normal pokemon.
I know people say that Flygon should’ve been dragon/bug but if I’m gonna be honest giving it the bug type would make it worse, trading in an amazing STAB typing for a pretty bad one
We were talking about the ground stab, bug dragon still have dragon stab. Plus ground gives you a resistance to stealth rock while dragon bug forces flygon to use boots, earthquake is better than leech life @@ProfesjonalnyUA-camr
5:18 Comically, I think the Klink line would be able to accept the Steel/Normal combo no problem and benefit from it, sure it hurts their defensive profile (mainly in BW), but their movepool is so atrociously bad they often rely on Return or the like as a secondary physical move, this is a physical sweeper (high attack, speed and Shift Gear) that barely learns any physical moves at all
A lot of Electric type combinations have only come into the game recently so they're very few and far between. I don't like to count the Rotom forms simply because they only have 1 stab move of their respective bonus types. ▪︎Elec/Dark - Morpeko 8th gen ▪︎Elec/Poison - Toxtricity line 8th gen ▪︎Elec/Ice - Arctozolt 8th gen ▪︎Elec/Psychic - Raichu 7th gen ▪︎Elec/Rock - Golem line 7th gen and Iron Thorns 9th gen ▪︎Elec/Ground - Sandy Shocks 9th gen ▪︎Elec/Fighting - Pawmot line and Iron Hands 9th gen ▪︎Elec/Grass - Electrode 9th gen ▪︎Still no proper Elec/Fire
Normal Rock would be pretty good if it was on a Pokemon in Gen 1. Immunity to body slam para and have the best stab in the game and resist to the best stab in the game.
I work at a coral lab and we are all currently researching the madness behind Cursola not being Ghost/Rock. Bro the CALCITE SKELETON IS STILL THERE THAT’S THE POINT …I’m excited for Ice/Poison the most personally you could make a fun sea critter with that one
Galar Zen was such a funny pokemon back when Gdarm was legal because you'd just cheese wins by leading Gdarm and bluffing Gorilla Tactics and just snowball off of clicking Substitute. Entirely hinged on the upfront threat of the vastly superior set and would not have ever worked if Gdarm stayed legal for even a week longer, but it was super funny.
Even tho it would still be a bad pokemon I think the rock ghost concept would be cool if they made a tombstone as a pokemon give it curse trick room stealh rock wide guard and prankster
Normal types tend to be just regular non-bug animals you can find in regular grass in generic environments. A normal steel would be like some mammal with steel bodyparts like claws. Wrenchinald would just be Steel.
In my opinion Normal-Steel as a typing could have been wonderful on the relatively bulky Chimecho. For some extra fun you could give it Normalize as an ability and then it could use Entrainment to guarantee attackers would be dealing Not Very Effective damage, plus giving it Boomburst for an actually useful stab option and a fun little niche.
I always thought they could make a groundhog normal/ice type with Snow Warning, maybe a regional Bidoof evolution. It probably wouldn’t be any good unless they cracked out it’s stats, but it seems like the kind of thing they would do for a gimmick Pokémon, like Delibird
I saw Miasmaw in the thumbnail and thought it would have made a good special attacker. It was surprising to see that it is physical! I think that a special attacking bug dragon type seems like a good idea! It could set up with tail glow and fire off draco meteors and bug buzzes! Give it tinted lens or fire coverage moves and it would be extra fun!
Miasmaw actually used to be a mixed attacker statswise when it was first released! It had 115 SpA and lower SpDef and Speed(85 and 89 respectively), it was meant to be able to use coverage like Thunder to hit bulky physical mons like Slowbro and fellow CAP Tomohawk who were a pretty common sight at the time (SWSH DLC 1 meta). After the 2nd DLC though it fell off really hard and ended up getting reworked a bit before Gen 8 ended.
I would die for Fregular to be officially announced but i hes probably not stressed hes just a chill guy waiting for his moment, truly impeccable design
I think Normal type tends to be Pokemon heavily based on animals, at least this is the case with many of the early gen normal types- Lillipup is a dog. Rattata is a rat. Hoothoot is an owl. And so on. So following this logic, I think it would be quite easy to reasonably tack normal typing onto some of these. Beartic, for example, is just a polar bear. Normal/Ice would make sense for it.
Some people are discussing how Muk could possibly be a ground/fairy type in the next Pokémon game, these people are supposedly very intelligent and reliable from what I’ve heard.
7:52 it's one of the more... balanced defensive combos I've seen from ice; 5 resistances and weaknesses. 11:50 hey, at least you have only 18 pokemon that resist you.
Normal type is usually added to Pokémon that have a real world animal counterpart. Think bears for Ursula’s, lions for pyroar, bulls for tauros. I wonder why iescue isn’t normal ice. It would make more sense and they could give it stab double edge
I've given up all hope of Flygon becoming dragon/bug. GF also missed a huge opportunity making a grass/fire tiki-themed pokemon in gen 6, being based around polynesian themes.
1:42 It's not that difficult really. I always thought of an convergent form of the Stoutland line that is Normal/Ice Type Pokemon based on St Bernard rescue dog.
2:19 jokes aside, this ability would be so damn good. Since it’s an ability that’s activated by taking damage it would overwrite any weather setters that were switched in, and would even beat u turn since the ability activation wouldn’t happen until the switching out and in effect is resolved, meaning if it’s not OHKOd it would ALWAYS get snow down.
Another rare-to-the-point-of-nonexistence is Fire/Water, which only exists on a single mythical pokemon. Fire/Fairy feels like a fun typing, though. Could be some kind of fire sprite kind of 'mon.
@@gloweye I’d like for instance if there had been a Orre variant of the Clefairy which now lives near Volcano which to adapt to the constant soot and gained the fire or ground type. A cultural one could be a version of Grimmsnarl from Unova and instead of being based on Big foot.
they should just do all the unused normal type combos at once with something like a base normal pokemon that dons various "armours" of metal, rocks, snow, and uhhhh spiderwebs I guess
I kind of wish Delphox was Fire/Fairy tbh, sure psychic also makes sense for it, but it would've been a good showcase of what fairy types can do alongside Sylveon, Xerneas and the now fairy Clefable
@mfsalatino tbf it's not rly fitting of fairy type, it's origins in the kitsune yokai is more of a ghost, dark or psychic type thing, plus it'd make alolan ninetales stand out from its counterpart a little less
Hi Jim! I always love your videos, specially about gen3 ou. I have a suggestion for a video (or even a tournament): TRADEBACK GEN III OU. There are basically 2 rules: -1 if a pokemon available in gen 3 can use a move or ability legally in a later generation, it can be traded back to gen iii and be used 2 - only moves and abilities available in gen iii can be traded back, and act like in gen iii It'd probabily be a broken metagame with politoed, pelipper, ninetales and torkoal all weather setters, but before scald, stealth rock and phys/spec split. Lots of pokemon also have moves that would be impactful like weather ball and solarbeam for coverage, lots of rain dish, swift swim and chlorophyll (unfortunately no sand rush) pokemon and lots of supporting moves. Please, think about it! 😊
In real life there is a moth that looks very similar to a dragon. Maybe they'll pull that as inspiration for their Bug/Dragon. Personally, Bug, Dragon, and Fire are my favorite types so seeing a Bug/Dragon would be amazing.
I get the impression that Ground/Fairy is such a strong type combination that either it will be reserved for a cover/restricted legendary or will be put on a Pokemon with a sub-par movepool or stat spread. I present you Zacian and Tinkaton.
Seikamater is a Normal/Bug legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Uranium. BST of 600, with the ability “Elementalist”, which gives a 1.5x boost to Water, Fire and Electric-type moves. Really good mon, I enjoy. The reason it gets this, by the way, is it can evolve from one of 3 different bugs that also each evolve into one of the different respective types that Elementalist boosts.
Honestly I’d like a trio of normal bug type pokemon who have ice, rock, or steel and it’s basically just a little dude with armor. And if he loses it he turns into a lil bug guy.
Yknow, Fregular did give me an idea for a Normal/Ice type: a Frosty the Snowman design, with the “clothes” and general friendliness making it Normal. That said, they’d probably make it lean into Ghost type instead. Alternately, some sort of Normal/Ice deer (different from Winter Sawsbuck).
Speaking of my idea of a Normal/Steel type Pokemon, it would be based off of a fax machine. It's name is Cracksimile and it's ability would be called, "Banged Heart," meaning that it gives it massive health recovery when being hit by a Fighting type move. That means that it offsets the 4x weakness to Fighting entirely. Also, it's more of a defensive Pokemon and it also has access to Rapid Spin, all hazards and can have a solid offenses too on top of having great HP and nice mixed bulk too.
I've always said, a Ice poison pokemon could work perfectly as a Old virus stuck inside a block of ice. Could make it standalone or pair it up with a ability that if hit, the virus breaks out and badly poisons anyone facing it + Becoming faster like Eiscue does.
Mom, can we have Snow Warning? No, we have Snow Warning at home The snow warning at home: "Chill guy: when this Pokemon is hit with an attack, the effect of snowscape begins"

I was under the impression that the paradox form of the Pokémon Spoink, “Iron Fellow” was a steel/normal type. I am relieved.

If gamefreak ever make a fairy-ground mon it's either game warpingly good or a huge disappointment
If Yanmega was a Bug/Dragon type, it would have been incredible in Gen 5. Tinted Lens Draco Meteor before Fairy types existed would be terrifying.
Ground Fairy would be the absolute best type combo in my opinion, great defenses and almost absolute offensive coverage
Good but not best, Fairy is better when paired with Steel and Ground with Flying.
@@cabrondemente1 As gen 6 onlne player, there is nothing more horrid than fairy steel.
Back in gen 6 it was the most annoying dual type to match. Apparently wasnt as bad by gen 7 anymore tho
Wrenchinald is completely unhinged, which is a good thing because a wrench with a hinge is not an effective tool.
Fregular is now my favorite Pokemon of all time.
Ideal inspirations for each one, myself
Normal/Ice - A smilodon with frosted fangs and coat.
Normal/Rock - A glyptodont with a jewel-encrustated shell and gem-like tail.
Normal/Steel - An okapi form that exudes a liquid metal to deflect blows.
Normal/Bug - A grub-like creature that uses silk to resemble more menacing bugs.
Bug/Dragon - A drake with a parasitic creature fused to it.
Fire/Fairy - A gremlin known to steal warmth and fire to torment travellers.
Ground/Fairy - a queen mole rat who commands her colony.
Ice/Poison - a gem-like bacteriophage that preys on other poison-types to drain their toxins.
Ghost/Rock - A coalition of fossils and tombstones that forms a gladiator.
Ice/Fire - Like Zelda's Gleeok, a twin-headed wyrm divided down the middle between fire and ice.
Dragon/Fairy - A bug-like dragon that covets mystical gemstones.
id love any of these, sick ideas
The first two sound like they would make great fossil mons, we haven't seen any representation of more recent fossil periods like the Mesozoic.
@@ES-dp6tw Wait a second do I know you?
that normal/bug sounds awfully like a dark/bug or a fairy/bug
a pokemon fan game did fairy ground type, a delta medicham
fire fairy too, a delta chandeleur
With over 1000 Pokémon released in the long history of this franchise, we have now seen almost every possible dual-type combination in existence
In fact, the gen 9 games introduced a bunch of new type combinations that we'd never seen prior.
Like the grass/fire type pokemon, Scovillain. And the fan favorite bug/dark type pokemon, Lokix
Like the grass fire type scovillian
But there are still some type combinations we have yet to see in the official games. 9, to be exact
But there are still some type combination we have yet to see in the official games. 9, to be exact.
Fregular is that pokemon you can only find in the middle-end of the main game. Too weak to be used competitively even in PU and level too low to be used for the elite 4 as it has to play catch up. Plus it has a 2% encounter rate.
This is exactly something Gamefreak will create. It would be sent to the realm of forgetfulness, like Lumineon or Heatmor. It wouldn't even get a cute pre-evo to sell plushies or a "sexy" evo so rule 34 could pair it with Lopunny or Gardevoir. Fregular...It is just...there.
Over on e621 GameFreak doesn't need as much effort.
Why didn't you talk about Unremarchnid's mega evolution?
It got an amazing buff to its Speed and Attack stats as well as it's new ability "Creepy Crawley". It was an OU staple for its ability to counter Mega-Kangaskhan and Mega-Gengar.
Mr Jimothy Cool is clearly biased against unremarchnid, even in generation 8 and 9 it's had a good niche as a zacian counter that's kept it relevant despite losing it's mega form, the Unremarchnid community will not stand for this
7:53: Perhaps Ice / Poison would be a good fit for a Sinnoian Sneasler or a Hisuian Weavile…
im absolutely trembling with fear from Fregular's paradox form - Iron Guy
The leaks confirmed that Pokémon Company looks at fakemons, and rejects concepts that look like already existing fakemons. This made me sad, that Chezetta/Mozzamazel from Pokémon Clover will never be an official Pokémon.
There is one potential, but not absolutely awful, way that could hinder a ground/fairy pokemon: If it was only a physical attacker
Granted, knowing gamefreak, it'd get a signature move that makes this issue irrelevant, but if it didn't, then its fairy stab would be stuck with the 90% accurate play rough, unless it gets lucky and gets the weaker but accurate spirit break, which only two pokemon have anyway.
However, this alone wouldn't make a ground/fairy pokemon suck, but it would be annoying and difficult to only have one inaccurate physical fairy stab option.
Normal type pokemon are often more like regular animals. Bug is also like this but specifically for bugs. This could be the reason why there are no bug/normal pokemon.
I personally think a mirage-based Pokemon would be a great fit for a Rock/Ghost type combination. What do you think, Folks?
its crazy that Galarian Corsola or Cursola isnt Rock/ Ghost type?....missed opportunity...
It's meant to represent dead coral reefs, wouldn't make sense if it's missing the water type.
@@cabrondemente1 But it isn't Water type either, just Ghost...
I know people say that Flygon should’ve been dragon/bug but if I’m gonna be honest giving it the bug type would make it worse, trading in an amazing STAB typing for a pretty bad one
dragon amazing stab? dragon hits only dragon and can't even hit fairy. Bug can hit dark and psychic for super effective damage. BUG STAB > DRAGON STAB
@@ProfesjonalnyUA-camrI think he was talking about trading the amazing ground stab for mediocre bug
We were talking about the ground stab, bug dragon still have dragon stab. Plus ground gives you a resistance to stealth rock while dragon bug forces flygon to use boots, earthquake is better than leech life @@ProfesjonalnyUA-camr
@@ProfesjonalnyUA-camrhe never referred to dragon as amazing stab, he referred to ground as amazing stab
Bug/Dragon should of been Slither Wing
5:18 Comically, I think the Klink line would be able to accept the Steel/Normal combo no problem and benefit from it, sure it hurts their defensive profile (mainly in BW), but their movepool is so atrociously bad they often rely on Return or the like as a secondary physical move, this is a physical sweeper (high attack, speed and Shift Gear) that barely learns any physical moves at all
A lot of Electric type combinations have only come into the game recently so they're very few and far between. I don't like to count the Rotom forms simply because they only have 1 stab move of their respective bonus types.
▪︎Elec/Dark - Morpeko 8th gen
▪︎Elec/Poison - Toxtricity line 8th gen
▪︎Elec/Ice - Arctozolt 8th gen
▪︎Elec/Psychic - Raichu 7th gen
▪︎Elec/Rock - Golem line 7th gen and Iron Thorns 9th gen
▪︎Elec/Ground - Sandy Shocks 9th gen
▪︎Elec/Fighting - Pawmot line and Iron Hands 9th gen

▪︎Still no proper Elec/Fire
When Jimothy calls us folks it makes me feel so good. Thats what keeps me coming back for more. I've never played competitive pokemon in my life.
A regional/mega for Nidoqueen would be really cool for Fairy/Ground. Been wanting some love for the Nidos, and that would be sweet for the Queen
Normal Rock would be pretty good if it was on a Pokemon in Gen 1. Immunity to body slam para and have the best stab in the game and resist to the best stab in the game.
Not making Slither Wing a bug/dragon type is Game Freak's fourth greatest sin.
I work at a coral lab and we are all currently researching the madness behind Cursola not being Ghost/Rock. Bro the CALCITE SKELETON IS STILL THERE THAT’S THE POINT
…I’m excited for Ice/Poison the most personally you could make a fun sea critter with that one
Galar Zen was such a funny pokemon back when Gdarm was legal because you'd just cheese wins by leading Gdarm and bluffing Gorilla Tactics and just snowball off of clicking Substitute. Entirely hinged on the upfront threat of the vastly superior set and would not have ever worked if Gdarm stayed legal for even a week longer, but it was super funny.
Even tho it would still be a bad pokemon I think the rock ghost concept would be cool if they made a tombstone as a pokemon give it curse trick room stealh rock wide guard and prankster
Normal types tend to be just regular non-bug animals you can find in regular grass in generic environments.
A normal steel would be like some mammal with steel bodyparts like claws.
Wrenchinald would just be Steel.
In my opinion Normal-Steel as a typing could have been wonderful on the relatively bulky Chimecho. For some extra fun you could give it Normalize as an ability and then it could use Entrainment to guarantee attackers would be dealing Not Very Effective damage, plus giving it Boomburst for an actually useful stab option and a fun little niche.
I always thought they could make a groundhog normal/ice type with Snow Warning, maybe a regional Bidoof evolution. It probably wouldn’t be any good unless they cracked out it’s stats, but it seems like the kind of thing they would do for a gimmick Pokémon, like Delibird
I saw Miasmaw in the thumbnail and thought it would have made a good special attacker. It was surprising to see that it is physical! I think that a special attacking bug dragon type seems like a good idea! It could set up with tail glow and fire off draco meteors and bug buzzes! Give it tinted lens or fire coverage moves and it would be extra fun!
Miasmaw actually used to be a mixed attacker statswise when it was first released! It had 115 SpA and lower SpDef and Speed(85 and 89 respectively), it was meant to be able to use coverage like Thunder to hit bulky physical mons like Slowbro and fellow CAP Tomohawk who were a pretty common sight at the time (SWSH DLC 1 meta). After the 2nd DLC though it fell off really hard and ended up getting reworked a bit before Gen 8 ended.
I'm glad Fregular is a very fast Quagsire. Freg has very quickly become a friend in my heart.
I would die for Fregular to be officially announced but i hes probably not stressed hes just a chill guy waiting for his moment, truly impeccable design
I think Normal type tends to be Pokemon heavily based on animals, at least this is the case with many of the early gen normal types- Lillipup is a dog. Rattata is a rat. Hoothoot is an owl. And so on. So following this logic, I think it would be quite easy to reasonably tack normal typing onto some of these. Beartic, for example, is just a polar bear. Normal/Ice would make sense for it.
I think Hisuian Sneasel/Sneasler should have been an Ice/Poison type.
Some people are discussing how Muk could possibly be a ground/fairy type in the next Pokémon game, these people are supposedly very intelligent and reliable from what I’ve heard.
7:52 it's one of the more... balanced defensive combos I've seen from ice; 5 resistances and weaknesses.
11:50 hey, at least you have only 18 pokemon that resist you.
I just want more Dark+Ghost, Ghost+Normal, and Dark+Poison; those are the type combos that are strong as heck.
A bug/dragon type is the perfect chance to give something both D Dance and Quiver Dance and let the mind games begin.
Normal type is usually added to Pokémon that have a real world animal counterpart. Think bears for Ursula’s, lions for pyroar, bulls for tauros. I wonder why iescue isn’t normal ice. It would make more sense and they could give it stab double edge
I've given up all hope of Flygon becoming dragon/bug.
GF also missed a huge opportunity making a grass/fire tiki-themed pokemon in gen 6, being based around polynesian themes.
1:42 It's not that difficult really. I always thought of an convergent form of the Stoutland line that is Normal/Ice Type Pokemon based on St Bernard rescue dog.
2:19 jokes aside, this ability would be so damn good. Since it’s an ability that’s activated by taking damage it would overwrite any weather setters that were switched in, and would even beat u turn since the ability activation wouldn’t happen until the switching out and in effect is resolved, meaning if it’s not OHKOd it would ALWAYS get snow down.
I dont think it would be that good. Its ice-type Sand Spit
@ yeah but snow is incredibly good with certain mons, like imagine a Kyurem-W team with this in reg g. Would go hard.
why are jim’s pokémon so stingy with special attack stat distribution
Wrench Pokémon.
Another rare-to-the-point-of-nonexistence is Fire/Water, which only exists on a single mythical pokemon.
Fire/Fairy feels like a fun typing, though. Could be some kind of fire sprite kind of 'mon.
@@gloweye I’d like for instance if there had been a Orre variant of the Clefairy which now lives near Volcano which to adapt to the constant soot and gained the fire or ground type. A cultural one could be a version of Grimmsnarl from Unova and instead of being based on Big foot.
Wrenchinald is how my spirit animal
Ghost Rock is good because it becomes immune to fighting. Also being a Tombstone is kinda obvious
Since Muk is sludge, it can freeze. Therefore I suggest we put Muk into the freezer so we can make it the first poison/ice type.
A new bug/ground type is really needed as Nincada and that Wormadam don't really represent that type combination well
Fairy/Ground Seviian Milotic in Radical Red was awesome to use. Crazy good typing. Also really liked Seviian Carnivine, Poison/Steel with Levitate!
In Gen 1 there was a scrapped Yeti pokemon fans call Freezeti. That makes PERFECT sense for a Normal/Ice type.
they should just do all the unused normal type combos at once with something like a base normal pokemon that dons various "armours" of metal, rocks, snow, and uhhhh spiderwebs I guess
"The pokemon Hemoglobin" Hemoglobin is what it is based off of, it is Hemogoblin (Hemoglobin + Goblin)
Lol the fregularmon is basically the "chill guy" meme these days 😅
I kind of wish Delphox was Fire/Fairy tbh, sure psychic also makes sense for it, but it would've been a good showcase of what fairy types can do alongside Sylveon, Xerneas and the now fairy Clefable
Or Ninetales
@mfsalatino tbf it's not rly fitting of fairy type, it's origins in the kitsune yokai is more of a ghost, dark or psychic type thing, plus it'd make alolan ninetales stand out from its counterpart a little less
Hi Jim! I always love your videos, specially about gen3 ou. I have a suggestion for a video (or even a tournament): TRADEBACK GEN III OU.
There are basically 2 rules:
-1 if a pokemon available in gen 3 can use a move or ability legally in a later generation, it can be traded back to gen iii and be used
2 - only moves and abilities available in gen iii can be traded back, and act like in gen iii
It'd probabily be a broken metagame with politoed, pelipper, ninetales and torkoal all weather setters, but before scald, stealth rock and phys/spec split. Lots of pokemon also have moves that would be impactful like weather ball and solarbeam for coverage, lots of rain dish, swift swim and chlorophyll (unfortunately no sand rush) pokemon and lots of supporting moves. Please, think about it! 😊
Sandslash would like to have a word with u
@prabhureubenthomas6052 if it's because of what I said about sand rush, it isn't coded as an ability in gen iii so it can't be used
We don't have a poison ice type damn. need an "ancient virus frozen in a glacier" kinda thing
I've become aware of the existence of Clod-Yu, how is nobody talking about this? This is insane.
Its been 9 gens and they havent made a rock/ghost and named it BOULDERGEIST cmon fellas
Petition for gamefreak to add Wrenchinald into the game for the name alone
2:08 I love Fregular #fregularforhorsecouncil
In real life there is a moth that looks very similar to a dragon. Maybe they'll pull that as inspiration for their Bug/Dragon. Personally, Bug, Dragon, and Fire are my favorite types so seeing a Bug/Dragon would be amazing.
I’d see a Normal/Ice one being made as a gimmick Poke, like a Delibird
I get the impression that Ground/Fairy is such a strong type combination that either it will be reserved for a cover/restricted legendary or will be put on a Pokemon with a sub-par movepool or stat spread. I present you Zacian and Tinkaton.
Normal/Steel typing was used by two enemies at Pokestar Studios in Black and White 2. One of them had Volt Absorb which gave it a third immunity.
Seikamater is a Normal/Bug legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Uranium. BST of 600, with the ability “Elementalist”, which gives a 1.5x boost to Water, Fire and Electric-type moves. Really good mon, I enjoy.
The reason it gets this, by the way, is it can evolve from one of 3 different bugs that also each evolve into one of the different respective types that Elementalist boosts.
fregular sounds like it could be a real pokemon name
Honestly I’d like a trio of normal bug type pokemon who have ice, rock, or steel and it’s basically just a little dude with armor. And if he loses it he turns into a lil bug guy.
I love the idea of a snowman for a normal ice type, or maybe just a snowball. Two of the most normal ice things that exist. An Ice cube perhaps..
5:40 Kevin Durant LEAKED!!!!!!!
Yknow, Fregular did give me an idea for a Normal/Ice type: a Frosty the Snowman design, with the “clothes” and general friendliness making it Normal. That said, they’d probably make it lean into Ghost type instead. Alternately, some sort of Normal/Ice deer (different from Winter Sawsbuck).
Speaking of my idea of a Normal/Steel type Pokemon, it would be based off of a fax machine. It's name is Cracksimile and it's ability would be called, "Banged Heart," meaning that it gives it massive health recovery when being hit by a Fighting type move. That means that it offsets the 4x weakness to Fighting entirely. Also, it's more of a defensive Pokemon and it also has access to Rapid Spin, all hazards and can have a solid offenses too on top of having great HP and nice mixed bulk too.
I've always said, a Ice poison pokemon could work perfectly as a Old virus stuck inside a block of ice. Could make it standalone or pair it up with a ability that if hit, the virus breaks out and badly poisons anyone facing it + Becoming faster like Eiscue does.
All things considered a Ice/Normal Snownman Pokémon would actually be genius
Mom, can we have Snow Warning?
No, we have Snow Warning at home
The snow warning at home:
"Chill guy: when this Pokemon is hit with an attack, the effect of snowscape begins"
