What If All Pokémon Were Dual Typed?

We all have our favorite Pokémon of a single type, but what it they weren't? (I realize they need single types to explain the type effectiveness to new players, but hear me out...) Looking at each Pocket Monster as they are now, without drastic changes to their designs which types could they get away with adding to have two? Maybe we'll even see some unique combinations? But there are so many we'll just have to start with Kanto, and honestly whether the rest comes depends on how well it does, so if you like it let everyone know!

[@dynamicdewott6633]

the way the psyduck family ISNT half psychic type still blows my mind

[@bdt2002gaming]

Pokémon often have strange typings as a result of the development teams not wanting too excessive of type overlap. The most well known example is Shellos and Gastrodon being delayed past Gen 3. My guess is that they knew Kanto had so many Waters and Psychics, and they likely didn’t want a third fully evolved Water/Psychic type in the Kanto Dex.

Mukrow is only found in Kanto in Gen 2 as well, although I'm not sure I would place it in Kanto. but it's possible. Sneasel I would put in Sinnoh, but it can be found in Kanto. I would say Umbreon since Eevee, though Eevee is only a pet and is a imo, Kalos pokemon. The video having a Dark Arbok line makes perfect sense.

Giving it the Psychic type would also strengthen that connection.

[@loganwren3038]

Now, this is something I have thought of before for some pokemon (mainly the Squirtle line, Metapod, and the Vulpix line). Here's my personal ideas. Charmander line - Fire/Dragon - I mean, they *are* dragons, in a sense. I would also change Charizard to this type, for obvious reasons. Squirtle line - Water/Steel - The pokedex states that the 3 pokemon have very sturdy shells that apparently form from their backs, instead of being there at birth (wut?). I think it makes sense to give them the steel type because of this. Caterpie - Bug/Poison - This is a bit of a stretch, but listen. According to some of it's dex entries, it releases a powerful odor from the feeler on it's head. Since Gloom, another pokemon with a similar dex entry, is given the poison type, I think it makes sense. Metapod - Bug/Steel - It's hard shell is used to protect it from all forms of attack until it evolves. It makes sense to give it the Steel type. Kakuna could also be changed to this type. Rattata line - Normal/Ground - The only type combo that makes sense for the line to me, except maybe Normal/Dark (Which is the type of their Alolan forms). It also helps me explain for a later choice. Ekans line - Poison/Dark - For obvious reasons. Pikachu line - Electric/Ground - Similar reasoning to the Rattata line, being that they are rodents. Sandshrew line - Ground/Steel - This mainly applies for Sandslash, as it's claws are stated to be very useful at digging, similar to mining tools made of steel. Nidoran lines - Poison/Ground - This is where the earlier choice for Rattata comes in. These lines take inspiration from many rodents, like porcupines, rabbits, and mice. Since we gave Rattata the Ground type, and the rabbit pokemon, Diggersby, is also Ground, it makes sense to give these lines the type as well. Clefairy line - Normal/Fairy - For obvious reasons. Vulpix line - Fire/Psychic - This line (moreso Ninetales) have multiple dex entries talking about them having magical powers, such as being able to live for a very long time, and cursing people who grab their tail. Ninetales is also based off of the Kitsune, a Yo-kai with many magic powers, like being able to take human forms. Fire/Ghost also makes sense however, since Yo-kai *are* ghosts. Diglett line - Ground/Normal - Yeah, I can't think of anything else here. Meowth line - Normal/Fairy - Meowth is based off of a Japanese Maneki Neko, which brings good luck and wealth to people. Seems quite like something a fairy type would do. Psyduck line - Water/Psychic - For obvious reasons. Mankey line - Fighting/Dark - Primeape is seen to be always angry, along with having shackles that would not be out of place in a dark area like a dungeon. Growlithe line - Fire/Electric - The Electric type may not make sense design wise, but since the two of them have high amounts of energy (like a dog), as well as the fact that other canine pokemon, like Boltund and Manectric, are also Electric. Poliwag and Poliwhirl - Water/Normal - They don't have many defining characteristics. Besides, they don't learn many Psychic type moves anyway (Only hypnosis via level up). Abra line - Psychic/Ghost - According to some of Kadabra's dex entries, it seems to have some sort of spiritual connection. It would make sense to give them the Ghost type because of that. Machop line - Fighting/Dragon - They do seem to be quite reptilian, similar to Dragons. Machamp in particular seems to draw inspiration from the Hindu gods Shiva and Vishnu, both of which being blue in color and having four limbs, so dragon would help reference such godly origin. Ponyta line - Fire/Normal - Again, I have nothing. Seel - Water/Ice - For obvious reasons. Grimer line - Poison/Dark - It just makes the most sense. They are evil piles of animated sludge. Of course, this does remove the need for the Alolan form, but it's the only type combo that makes sense to me. Shellder line - Water/Steel - Their shells are stated to be harder than diamond, so it only makes sense to give them this type (Yes, I also changed Cloyster's type. It only makes sense to do it like that). Drowzee line - Psychic/Dark - For obvious reasons. Krabby line - Water/Bug - Crabs, as well as all Crustaceans, belong to a subdivision of Arthropods that includes other insects and arachnids. Giving them the Bug type makes sense. Voltorb line - Electric/Steel - For obvious reasons. Cubone line - Ground/Ghost - They do have strong spiritual connections, after all. Hitmonlee - Fighting/Ground - Makes sense, as it fights with it's legs... That's all i've got. Hitmonchan - Fighting/Flying - Here me out. Jackie Chan, the man this pokemon is based off of, uses a very acrobatic fighting style. It would make sense for Hitmonchan to also use this style. And since Acrobatics is a Flying type move, it makes sense to apply the type to Hitmonchan. Lickitung - Normal/Electric - It's saliva is said to cause an everlasting paralysis if not cleaned quickly. It only makes sense to give it the type that causes paralysis, Electric. Koffing line - Poison/Flying - For obvious reasons. Chansey - Normal/Fairy - For obvious reasons. Tangela - Grass/Dark - ...Yeah, idk what to make it. Kangaskhan - Normal/Fighting - It is stated to fight to protect its kin in most dex entries. In Yellow, its entry states that it "Won’t run from any fight to keep its young protected." So giving it the Fighting type makes sense. Horsea and Seadra - Water/Dragon - For obvious reasons. Of course, i'd personally keep Horsea as a mono-Water pokemon, but we can't do that in this case. Goldeen line - Water/Fairy - They do have a quite beautiful design, and some of their dex entries talk about them using their bright colours to attract mates... It's the best I can think of. Staryu - Water/Psychic - For obvious reasons. Electabuzz - Electric/Fighting - It definitely looks like a strong fighter with those arms. Of course, Electric/Dark would also work. Magmar - Fire/Poison - As you stated, Magmar seems to have a big focus on smoke, and it learns a lot of poison moves. Pinsir - Bug/Dark - I mean, both it and it's mega form look quite evil. It also seems to be quite mean while fighting, crushing it's opponents with it's pincers. Tauros - Normal/Dark - It is a raging bull. Seems quite fitting of the Dark type to me. Magikarp - Water/Normal - It is quite normal, even for a fish. While we're on the topic, Gyarados should really be Water/Dark instead of Water/Flying. Ditto - Normal/Fairy - Fairies are quite magical, so it would work with Ditto's transforming. Plus, it would also help with connecting it to Mew (Yes, I gave it the Fairy type as well). Eevee - Normal/Fairy - Sure, it turns into a Fairy type already, but Eevee is quite a magical creature, being able to evolve in so many different environments. Vaporeon - Water/Normal - For obvious reasons. Jolteon - Electric/Normal - For obvious reasons. Flareon - Fire/Normal - For obvious reasons. Porygon - Normal/Electric - It is made of computer code, so Electric makes sense. Snorlax - Normal/Fighting - For the reasons you stated. Dratini and Dragonair - Dragon/Water - They are based off of sea serpents, so it makes sense to give them the Water type. Mewtwo - Psychic/Dark - It is shown to be quite evil it multiple forms of media, so it makes sense. Mew - Psychic/Fairy - Mew and Mewtwo are almost complete opposites when it comes to personality, so it makes sense to give Mew the Fairy type, as it is the opposite of Mewtwo's Dark type. Whew, that was fun. Great vid as always man. Can't wait to see this done for other regions (assuming this wasn't a one-time thing).

14:43 it deserves 3 stars, since Pinsir's Level-Up move pool always had an orientation towards Fighting Type.

[@pieterhofkens7259]

I need more of this. This is awesome

[@atStuartN]

I love this concept! I think I’d make some slight changes. I’d give Growlithe the Normal type because nothing else really seems to fit. Arcanine, however, would be Electric, because speed and type compatibility. When looking through the lore and move pools, the Machop line is largely underwhelming with a primarily Fighting and Normal move pool. So I’d say Normal for them. This would also serve to kind of prove that the Normal typing isn’t so weak as perceived. Grimer and Muk should me Water because they’re based on sludge and Water pollution, just like Koffing and Weezing are Air pollution. I can see Hitmonchan being Flying type because of its speed. I can totally envision Hitmonchan doing that little sid e-to-side boxer bounce and quickly evade attackers. For Goldeen, I’d give the line the Normal typing, because they’re just plain ole fish.

[@RadiantPercival]

I'm the patron saint of Ghost-type Ninetales propaganda and I sign off on your judgement.

[@SKuusk95]

I think Krabby and Kingler would work as Water-Bug types because, technically speaking, most (though not quite all) arthropod-based pokemon are given Bug-type. Pretty much anything based on spiders, scorpions, insects and crustaceans is a fair game with the Bug-type. Sure, there are some exceptions, but some simply come down to the limitations in game-mechanics _(Drapion would definitely be Poison-Bug-Dark if it could, Kabuto- and Anorith-lines would both be Rock-Water-Bug if possible)._

[@ellie8272]

The normal type suits Mew nicely. It *is* the form all Pokemon evolved from after all

[@mateoskydancer2177]

Ponyta and Rapidash = Fire/Fairy.....pony & unicorn. Duh Cloyster & Shellder = Water/Rock, cloyster dont need Ice type with dewgong n lapras And yeah krabby/kingler add bug. Crabs are sorta bug like. Makes sense. OG Grimes 'n Muk shoulda been Poison/Dark and Alolan form Poison/Fairy. Rainbows aren't just for fairies though Yeah drowzee and hypno reference sleep, sleep is dark, fo sho lol Goldeen n seaking could go poison but also fairy

[@emperorcubone]

I mean, just cause it's got a horn doesn't mean it's a Fairy; Rapidash actually seems kinda mean to me. But I totally agree Cloyster doesn't need Ice so Rock makes sense...

[@mateoskydancer2177]

@@emperorcubone Its not because of it being a horn, but because Unicorns are typically associated with fairy tales. And ponies just scream fairy to me as well. Idk I could be making random associations. I DID grow up in the 90's and 2000's

I would go Electric for Goldeen and Seaking, since then there is a reason they can learn Lightning Rod.

@@nickdentoom1173 Eh, a horn that draws in electricity is a very weak argument for them to have electric typing IMO. Why not have electric because goldeen's name has gold for it's prefix? Electric type is colored by yellow/gold so that is a good reason. :|

[@KingRoni1222]

Tangela can be Water/Grass. Ninetails can be Fire/Psychic of it's all about spells, although considering the ghostly nature of Ninetails' magic, it's fine. Vulpix can just be normal in the meantime. Charmander and Charmeleon could be Ground types before they get the ability to fly instead of being "hurr durr, dragon lol". Diglett and Dugtrio. Rock. Easy. Sloth and Gluttony are 2 of the 7 deadly sins, so while Snorlax isn't inherently evil, the Dark Type can work.

[@dmancluster2631]

This is a really fun idea to play around with. I personally would've made the Voltorb line part ghost based on that "is it just haunter in a pokeball" theory I'd love to see you do this for other regions if you're willing

The Abra line could’ve been dark as it has satanic inspirations and rapidash could’ve been fairy because it’s ✨majestic✨

[@jordanfleming7022]

Consider this: The first Cubones were solely ground types, and couldn’t evolve. They loved their offspring with everything they had. It was as natural as breathing to them. In time, the parental care began lingering after death. With each generation, it compounded. It got to the point that offspring would fully fuze with the remains. Each generation got stronger - inheriting more and more love. It became hereditary. They look intimidating, but in actuality, are very tender, even towards other Pokemon. If think this is cool because it casts the ghost type in a more positive light for once. They could even learn more healing moves - maybe even moves that could be considered “happy”.

Goldeen und Golking should be Water/Flying type. I think this should have been their typing from the start and I often find myself assuming they would have this typing.

I'd have given psychic to Vulpix and Ninetails. It suits the spells/curses theme just as well if not better than Ghost and it fits in with the psychic powers it has in the anime. Plus, it's plain to see that neither of them are ghosts themselves.

[@CL12356]

I would have given it 3 stars because it seems so obvious and beneficial, but thank you for calling out that Ninetales definitely should have been ghost too 👻! The moves, the lore (it’s the made from the souls of nine saints), it’s spooky/alluring vibe... It would have been perfect. Plus, fire/ghost then ice/fairy, great pairing.

[@emperorcubone]

Yeah I don't know why everyone keeps saying Psychic would fit them better; they are clearly more spiritually based than advanced mind powers which leans into science. But you're right too, that would make a really cool pair with the Alolan form!
