What If All Pokémon Were Dual Typed? (Paldea)

Every generation brings new Pokémon; that's kind of what defines it as a new generation, however you can bet that there will always be some that have only been given one type. But what if they weren't? What if Every Pokémon in the series was required to have two types? Some of them are an easy fit while others are a bit harder to nail down, but that's half the fun!

[@WaterKirinGamer]

Feel like Finizen could work as Water/Normal with it being fairly "Normal" in appearance and especially fits well with the idea of them being ordinary Citizens to better contrast Palafin who disguises itself as a fellow Citizen in its Zero form

Your opinion is cool but i have a few suggestions: Floragato could've been Dark because it still looks and acts dark and it doesn't learn a single Psychic attack. Oinkologne should've still been Ground, going from ground to fairy feels a bit jarring. Nymble is not a nymph, it's Dark because it shares coloration with it's evolution and is sad. Charcadet should've been Normal since it's a real middle ground because Fairy becoming Psychic or Ghost kinda feels like a nerf. Machiff and mabosstiff should've been Fighting because, y'know, they are mafias and they hit people i think. Wugtrio could've stayed as Ground because there are many examples of ground types having rocks, and ground becoming rock is a kind of a nerf. Finizen and Palafin zero could've Normal, because they're just normal dolphins, until they transform. Keep making awesome!

Although it does make sense for the water starter mainly the 2 stages to be part flying I can see why they didn't add it since that will conflict with the grass starter maybe if they were water fighting to begin with it'll be a different story and if you think otherwise remember Balbasaur was grass poison to begin with

We have no Normal/Rock type Pokemon, despite several good candidates (as you mentioned), no Ghost/Rock types, which easily could and should have been done by now (looking at you Runerigus), and the only halfway strong, 100% accuracy move for Rock types is Power Gem, which is a special move, and most Rock types are physical. Even Rock Tomb, a move with 60 base power, only has 95% accuracy.

[@emperorcubone]

That's why I like Smack Down so much, it has full accuracy. I get that it's a trade off but like you said 60 base power is that same as moves that ALWAYS hit like Swift. Not to mention Rock is tied for the most weaknesses so I'm not sure why they haven't just gotten rid of it yet...

[@pokehunterhd]

You know what supports the idea of combat breed tauros being part normal? Both the blaze and Aqua breed learn a recoil move that's 120 power and 100 accuracy (those being flare blitz and Wave Crash respectively), and you know what recoil move the combat breed gets? Double edge. (Which I guess means that the most likely new breeds would be Flying for brave Bird, Electric for Volt Tackle, and Grass for wood hammer).

I’m sorry… RELLOR?? FORGETTABLE? rabsca is tied for my favorite new Pokémon amazing shinies for them both, great type, very strong, fun design, and just all around big love

[@w01neb]

Teroundtula and spidops should have been bug normal

[@stooglesgoogles7246]

I think the greavard line could also be ground type since they burrow underground

[@gabriellockwood2780]

Cetoddle & Cetitan are the "Terra Whale Pokémon"... Make them Ice/Ground, just like the OTHER "Land Shark Pokémon", Gible/Gabite/Garchomp, being Ground/Dragon...

[@emperorcubone]

And people said I make things Ground too much! No but really, I suppose I good see that, maybe if they learned Ground by levelup or were anything more than white it'd be easier to picture, but I do love the typing on Swinub so I could see it...

[@gabriellockwood2780]

@@emperorcubone Even in my own re-typing endeavors lol, I leave them pure Ice, because they don't look like they fit any Type.

[@TheGamerGaurdian]

Charcadet can easily be a Fire/Fighting

[@christophermccutcheon2143]

Ratata types: Normal Extra normal

[@obnoxiosefe2180]

Personally I think clawf could be part ground but hey it's your opinion

[@torterratortellini6641]

6:40 I actually thought that mabostiff was a rock type because I thought it’s name partially came from massif.

[@remington238]

Crustle is literally a rock type that is also a bug while still being a crab, klawf doesn't work at all as fighting imo

[@TheFlashzap]

I very much wanted to see our trio of dogs become Fairy/Fire Dark/Steel Ghost/Rock I know everyone is probably sick of Steel/Dark types but I chose it for Mabosstiff because it would have metal fur and teeth and it would compliment the triangle. Rock beat fire Fire beat steel Steel beat rock It’s not perfect

[@emperorcubone]

How are people sick of Dark/Steel types? We only just got our third one this Gen! Unless you're saying that's WHY people are sick of them, because of Kingambit...

[@TheFlashzap]

@@emperorcubone i dunno I try to avoid repetition but yeah Kingambit was one reason why I was hesitant about dark/steel My friends wanted Dark/Fighting but I’m so tired of those

[@TornaitSuperBird]

@@TheFlashzap There's only two Dark/Fighting lines, and Urshifu.

[@kayden2119]

Bro you always pick types that just have such whiplash. You never consider what the pokemon evolves into.

[@JoelTheParrot]

12:13 what? people love dudunsparce and for good reason

[@jr.vinicius1079]

Thanks for the video, man! btw, are you going to revisit the other series with Paldea in the near future?

[@emperorcubone]

Oh for sure, we'll get around to all of them at some point, this was the one I was just most excited for.

I'm watching playlist, where hisui video?

Before he starts here's my guess for the duel types or at least my opinion Sprigatito- Fairy type - 2 stars Floragato- Dark - 2 stars Fuecoco- Normal - 2 star Crocalor- Ghost - 2 stars Quaxly- Flying- 2 stars Quaxwell- Fighting- 2 stars Lechonk- Ground- 2 stars Fairy- 1 star Oinkologne- Fairy or Ground- 2 star Tarountula- normal- - stars Spidops- Dark - 1½ stars Nymble- Dark- 0 stars Pawmi- Fighting- 3 stars Tandemaus- Fairy- 2 stars Maushold- Fairy- 2 stars Fidough- Normal- 1 stat Dachsbun- Fire- 2 stars Nacli and Naclstack- any type- 0 stars Garganacl- fighting type- 2 stars Charcadet- fighting- half a star Tadbulb- flying- 0 stars Bellibolt- water- 1 star Maschiff and Mabosstiff- ground type- 1 star Klawf- steel type- 1 star Capsakid- Normal- 1 star Rellor- ground- 3 stars Flittle and Espathra- flying- 3 stars Wiglett- Normal- 0 stars Wugtrio- Dark- 3 stars Finizen- Normal- 3 stars Palafin zero form- Normal- 3 stars Palafin hero form- Fighting- 3 stars Orthworn- ground- 2 stars Greavard- fire- 2 stars Houndstone- Ground or rock- 2 stars Cetoddle and Cetitan- ground type- 3 stars Dondozo- Rock- 1 star Dundunsparse- Ground- 3 stars

[@emperorcubone]

Some of these are right on! I guess there's just no other way those ones could go, but that's also probably why the starters don't usually shift types when evolving, because in that scenario Sprigatito would have advantage over Quaquaval, until it evolved and became weak to it...

[@silverblaze8766]

@@emperorcubone I'm going to be honest I chose the types in a vacuum based on lore, vibes or I thought it was cool For example Wugtrios dark because of it's dex entry and I could of chose ground for Wig and Wug but I felt like that defeated the purpose of them being "new" Pokemon

[@emperorcubone]

Well the point of them being "new" is kind of wasted anyway; Wiglett I can buy, but imagine instead if it evolved into the next Gyarados or something, not a pointless, nonsensical Dugtrio ripoff just for the reference that we all already got from the base stage...

[@CaseyLabAnimations]

They probably didn't give Quaxly and Quaxwell a secondary Flying type because Flying resists Grass and would make Quaxly/Quaxwell no longer weak to it. Rowlet got away with having Flying type because Grass is its own primary type, and the other two starter types have neutral interactions with Flying
