What If All Pokémon Were Dual Typed? (Kalos)

[@Parleetxt]

Xerneas, Psychic type? I would’ve chosen grass.. it’s literally a tree and stab horn leech? Nice 👍🏼

[@ogeid772]

Plus it would be quite a bit more unique than just Fairy Psychic, which is kinda over used

[@jojidubi4]

We still don’t have a Fairy-Ground type afaik. Xerneas has a signature move called Geomancy, and it is called Geomancy in other languages too. Do you know what geomancy is?

[@messmermusicals1367]

Plus, it would make it so their types would each be weak to each other, with Xerneas' Fairy Typing defeating Yveltal's dark, but Yveltal's Flying defeating Xerneas' Grass. A balance, Just like life and death.

[@attilaszanto2275]

Fairy/Ground would be the best combination for Xerneas. Geomancy is 1 reason, also the rarity of ground-types in Kalos.

[@kimyona9746]

Fairy\Fighting would be heat smh

[@higgy0789]

I always thought the Gogoat line was Normal/Grass, since they look like regular goats for the most part. Was actually shocked to learn they weren't, with how many other Pokemon got the Normal typing in the Kalos region. I would also argue that Xerneas could easily be a Fairy/Grass type. I think it should have been, to be honest. - it hibernates in the shape of a tree and lives in forests - it spreads life, such as plant life and all that, and nature is easily one of the first things to come to mind when you think of life - its signature move is Geomancy, meaning magic of the Earth. This might sound like it argues for Ground type, but the land is also all the plants, which could just as easily work into the naming of this move - it learns many Grass type moves. - it has a more balanced dynamic with Yveltal this way. Dark/Flying to Fairy/Grass works out much better when there's a whole other Pokemon to make sure these two forces stay balanced.

[@dantez.6462]

Same, just last year I learnt that gogoat wasn't part normal

[@Shalakor]

Definitely agree with Fairy/Grass Xerneas. And, honestly, with some of the other picks I feel like Emperor Cubone makes many of his selections just to drum up more discussion in the comments. Though, while Normal would make plenty of sense with Gogoat, I can certainly get behind Ground/Grass, even if only to contrast with the Deerling line. (Rock might also work, depending on if you ascribe more to it being mountain breed based over plains breed based for its goat inspiration.)

[@miguelc.8240]

Xerneas should be Fairy/Grass, not just because it turns into a tree, but also because it would become weak to Yveltal's Flying like how Yveltal is weak to Xerneas's Fairy.

Xerneas should be half-Grass, since it slept as a tree for 1,000 years and gives life energy to those around it. If it has to get a new type, Flying is also a better fit for Mega Mewtwo Y.

Alola to Alola! 1. Litten would be Fire-Normal, whereas Torracat could gain the Fighting type for just a bit (also reference to the sneaky webiste that stated that Torracat's front-arms were stronger, so everyone and their grandma panicked thinking they would give us another Fire-Fighting) 2. Popplio would go Water-Normal, while his evolution Brionne would follow Primarina and become a Water-Fairy type. 3. Yungoos's line should gain the Fighting type in order to counter the invader Alolan Rattatas. I would have put the Dark type for its resemblance with the 45th President of the United States, buuuut i'm not THAT based 4. Grubbin should get the Ground type for its ability to dig holes underground, as seen in the anime. 5. Crabrawler should get a Ground type since the original animal this Pokémon is based on (the coconut crab) is a landcrab, and not a sea crab. 6. Rockruff is though, but easy at the same time. For its base form, i would say Rock-Normal, but here's the kicker. For the Midday form of Lycanroc, I would give him the Fighting type, due to it being the most loyal and strong of the trio; for the Midnight Form, I would give it the Dark type due to the plethora of Dark type moves it learns and due to the fact it looks like a werewolf, one of the sacred monsters in the horror movie/ novel genre; finally, for the Dusk, I think I'm going to go extra nuts and give him the Psychic type, because of the evolution scene in the anime, with the green eyes reminding me of psychic powers being imbued into Ash's Rockruff, also for being the only form to stay perfectly in the middle, being not too hero, nor too evil. 7. Wishiwashi is simple: Normal for the small fry, Dragon for the School Form. 8. For Mudbray's line I thought about Ground-Normal for the bab donkey, while Ground-Steel for its evo. 9. Fomantis's line should be Grass/Bug. Because WHY GAME FREAK. IT'S A FREAKING MANTIS, WHY NOT GIVE THEM THE BUG TYPE I KNOW YOU DID THE ERROR WITH LEAVANNY, BUT STILL. 10. Bounsweet's line should be a no brainer. Grass-Fairy due to its cuteness and beauty (they also appear in beauty products spots). Next! 11. Passimian is almost as easy as the Bounsweet line: Fighting-Grass, due to them being a prominent creature living most of their lifetimes in the jungle. 12. Pyukumuku: Water-Poison. I know it's been done and done may times before, but hear me out. When sea cucumbers are attacked, they expel their inner organs (and a gonad) out to scare their attackers, and the inner organs are stinging/mildly poisonous to the touch. 13. We've arrived to the masked elephant in the room. Despite Silvally having all the types available, the same can't be said about its pre-evolution. So I've come to the sad conclusion of giving him a Normal-Steel type, due to the heavy mask and the steel-cold expression in its eyes. 14. For Cosmog and Cosmoem , I thought they could do a training passage between the two forms: that being said, Cosmog should be Psychic-Ghost, due to its tricky nature of constantly teleporting people both in the game AND the anime, while Cosmoem should be Psychic-Steel because, despite the fact that it's a literal corpse Pokémon, it weighs almost a ton. AND ASH/LILLIE STILL MANAGE TO HOLD IT IN HIS HAND/HER BAG. THE ABSOLUTE MADPEOPLE. 15. Xurkitree should be Electric/Ghost due to its eerie presence, almost resembling a ghost (like Slenderman or Siren Head). 16. For Necrozma in his "Opaque" form, i decided to go Psychic-Dark, due to it being a creature that seeks light to absorb from other dimensions, consequentially leaving them in the darkness. 17. Poipole should be a Poison-Bug because of its appearance and most importantly because it is too small to be a dragon. Maybe Poison-Fairy could be a better stretch, but I digress. 18. Zeraora shouts me the Fighting type due to its gallant spirit and its physique. I mean dude, they literally made him one of the starting champions in Unite, and in that game he can use Fighting-type moves, why not give him the Fighting type? 19. Last but not least the Mandela effect / Schroedinger's cat equivalent of the Pokémon kingdom, Meltan and Melmetal. I think they should go with the Steel-Electric, without thinking it twice. Or Steel-Poison due to them being made of mercury. That's all for the Alola dex, but I still miss the Alola forms, so here they are! 1. For Alolan Vulpix. I would go safe and give her the Psychic type, due to having mystic powers ike its evolution, but not THAT much to deliver the fairy type. 2. For Alolan Meowth, I would go the extra mile and give him the Ghost type, due its mischievous nature. Also only ghosts would like the pancake-shaped face of Persian... eugh. Spooky.

I agree for Florges should be a grass and fairy type since it does look like a flower and most flowers grow in a bunch of grass and the flying type does fit for Absol I do think it should fly with the angel wings and for the Slurpuff line poison does work since desserts aren't healthy and Pokemon Xenoverse I know it's a rom hack but it does have the poison type for Slurpuff so it works.

[@ashhikari626]

Don’t know why but I’ve always thought the gogoat line was grass and normal. Also Emperor Cubone I can actually see xernas’ antlers being based on the traditional imagery of the inside of the brain and it getting psychic would work

[@pepelagarto8110]

I thougth that skidoo and gogoat were normal/grass and that mega-absol was a dark/fairy

[@fuyukolam]

What's about Fairy/ Grass for Xerneas, yeah, the type make it even weaker but can be interesting. Xerneas "resembles" a tree = Grass. The most interesting is it connection to Yveltal. Xerneas's Fairy type stronger than Yveltal's Dark type but Xerneas's Grass type will be weaker than Yveltal's Flying type...

[@drewbernert7050]

This is definitely a nitpick, though I do notice a mistake. Frogadier actually wouldn’t be weak to both of Quiladin’s types. Flying resists grass, so Frogadier would be neutral to grass and weak to rock. Good video regardless!

[@iantaakalla8180]

It gets even stranger. Water would be weak against Grass, but Grass is weak against Flying, and Flying is weak against Rock, and while Rock is weak against Water Grass would turn it back to standard damage. Still, it’s funny how the types of Emperor Cubone’s Quilladin and Frogadier would interact with each other

[@robbieq7814]

I’d give spritzee and aromateese the poison type, because the Pokédex says that they can make both good and Foul smells! Foul smells you say? Almost like a skunk, wich stunky and skuntank are based on, who are poison type. For that same reason. You get the point.

[@_freebirdnerd]

I LOVE Skidoo and Gogoat, and making them Grass/Ground would be awesome. 😎👍

[@adamajora1003]

Ok, first it was me thinking that Elektross was Water type, and now the Goodra line is only dragon type! I swear on all my life that they have always been poison/dragon.

[@irishrunner27]

i would love absol being dark/fairy. though i do understand flying. but she learns a bunch of fairy moves, and has mystical powers to predict disasters, feels fairy to me

[@D-S-G.]

Slurpuff Fairy/Poison type *top 10 anime betrayals*

[@artimist0315]

for clawitzer I think dragon would work well, with it's big dragon claw. claucher could just be bug type.

[@emperorcubone]

STAB Mega Launcher Dragon Pulse would be pretty great!

[@Compucles]

Game Freak wants to avoid making the crustacean-based Pokémon Bug types. Otherwise, the Krabby and Corphish families would already have it. Yeah, it's a little odd that they do it for the arachnids but draw the line at crustaceans, but that's what they decided.

[@Pokemichael]

Hang on the flabebe line isn’t grass type? I’ve been living a lie

[@_freebirdnerd]

I'd possibly consider Normal/Fairy for Furfrou, though I see why you thought Fighting. But I'd add the Poison type to Spritzee and Aromatisse, in keeping with the plague and perfume theme.

[@PantaroParatroopa]

Alola is next, and for that, I can see base Necrozma being Psychic/Ghost. "Necro" is in the name, and it's basically a rearranged skeleton of it's true form.

[@taylorchesser8990]

I can understand Flabébé not being Grass-type. Like Farfetch'd, the plant is just a weapon, a conduit for it's power. It's not a part of the Pokémon itself. Florges, on the other hand, straight up is the flower. Should have been Grass-type all along.

[@emperorcubone]

Florges is indeed particularly insulting; it's mostly plant at that point!

Same, Greninja is way overrated!

[@MatildatheMoonwolf]

While I 100% agree with Furfrou should stay as pure normal, I’m surprised you didn’t think about giving it part water since it’s based of the poodle dog breed which was originally breed to be water retrieving gun dogs like labradors and golden retrievers before becoming show dogs. The poodle’s dog show haircut are also speculated to be one of the inspiration for the modern float vests.

[@intelhell1712]

Great video!

[@itszyworn4874]

I mean, Fairy types were new back then, so Furfrou could have been part Fairy and I wouldn't have minded at all

[@joshiethepoketeen6357]

[@pieterhofkens7259]

I always taught clawitzer should be steel typed

[@emperorcubone]

Clawitzer at least probably should have gained Steel, yes.

[@swampy725]

And I always thought flash cannon is mega launcher boosted Also mega blastoise should be steel too

[@BigLu658]

I feel like Pancham is mischievous enough for the dark type and the Aromatice line should get poison instead of psychic. They could let out all kinds of poisonous smells like Poison Ivy from Batman. Swirlix in exchange should probably get normal type and same for Sylveon. I totally agree on basically the rest though. Mega Manectric is a tough one so... I guess dragon is okay lol.

[@Fat_Tony4224]

I feel like I saw this vid an hour ago or so and the Pokémon on the thumbnail was something other than slurpuff. Am I wrong?

[@SJrad]

with the Yggdrasil norse mythogy stuff being based off the 4 deer eating the foilage and stuff, xerneas should be fairy grass also so yveltal has a fairer chance against xerneas by using it's flying stab moves such as oblivion wing. dark moves are only neutral against fairy psychic where as flying is super effective against fairy grass.

[@NaruHina4429]

Ayo, y’all rockin with STAB parental bond power up punch on mega kangaskhan?

Pangoro isn't evil, just tough. One the contrary, the Pokédex even said it is kindhearted at times and doesn't put up with bullying

[@emperorcubone]

I just meant evil in the Dark type sense, being the "evil" type in Japan.
