I think Normal/Steel could be an animal-like Pokemon that gathers scrap metal to coat itself (kinda like the Burmy line). That way both types get represented without resorting to an animal made of steel. Maybe it could get a unique ability where if it's below 50% of its max HP, it loses the armor, as well as the Steel typing, but gains a speed boost in return?

Normal to me has always been somewhat of a "Beast" type, like mainly mammals, along with a few birds (WINGED Beasts), but I think it is still very possible to fuse such things with bugs, like some parasitically-infected aardvark/anteater or something

Normal/Bug would be cool as a bug based on the Hemiptera order of bugs, also known as "True Bugs" Also we should note that GameFreak clearly isn't just trying to check type boxes off (otherwise there would be less combinations left), so I don't think something like Rotom-Heat or Mega Altaria existing makes another that share their type any less likely than something they weren't gonna put in anyway.

PokeDoku has really made it clear how many new mons there are of previously unique typings.

I think a Normal/Bug Pokemon could be based on the naked mole rat, which is the only eusocial mammal.

Poison Ice would fit a Russia area for one reason: Spy flicks and spy weapons. We already have a James Bond, so don't know if we'll get anything else, but a poison needle that melts after use to be untraceable was not an uncommon "myth." (I say myth not to suggest that it wasn't done, but that it didn't see much if any actual field usage. Definitely not to the degree that it was depicted. Because it's just a kinda cool concept.)

I'm surprised that despite being the newest type only one Fairy type combination hasn't been done yet. I'm also surprised in hindsight that they didn't retcon Ninetales as Fire/Fairy considering its blatant kitsune inspiration, or how Alolan Ninetales is part Fairy for similar reasons

For normal/rock, ice, steel, i can imagine a Pokemon based on bowling. Have its typing change depending on where you get it. It bowls hunks of crystals if found in caves, it bowls hunks of ice if found in icy areas, if found next to construction areas it will bowl hunks if steel. You could also give it an abilities that turns all ball based moves to physical attacks and boosts their power.

How many of these videos do we need lol.

Ghost/Rock sounds really interesting, it could start as a marble Bust you can find in a anbandoned Mansion with its first evolution being some sort of marble doll until finally evolving into a Gargoyle or Weeping Angel, give it some sort of ability that it attacks Pokemon that are changed out or in because those Pokemon aren't "looking" at it or something.

The unused type ranking from the least likely combo to the most probable one: 1:11 Bug/Normal 2:01 Steel/Normal 2:37 Fire/Electric 3:12 Normal/Rock 3:49 Fire/Ice 4:15 Dragon/Fairy 4:41 Normal/Ice 5:25 Ground/Fairy 6:16 Poison/Ice 7:18 Fire/Fairy 8:18 Bug/Dragon 9:32 Ghost/Rock

8:12 Nice idea, but Fire resists Steel, so Fire/Fairy would be neutral to Steel.

It's ability or evolution or pokedex entry can reflect this interaction. It could even be a mutual symbiotic relationship...like the mammal/dog's fur is bristly and itchy so the bugs live in the coat, comb, soften and scratch the mammal's scalp and use the fur for protection.

I guess that dragons are as tough as rhinos? I'm just as lost as you are.

Delphox doesn't possess Fairy as its secondary type because of a deliberate dual type balance choice within the Generation 6 starter Pokémon final forms. Each fully evolved starter from this generation enjoys a complete Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) advantage over one of its counterparts due to their dual typings. Specifically, Chesnaught (Grass/Fighting) holds the upper hand over Greninja (Water/Dark), Delphox (Fire/Psychic) prevails over Chesnaught (Grass/Fighting), and Greninja (Water/Dark) triumphs over Delphox (Fire/Psychic). This creates a balanced rock-paper-scissors dynamic where no starter dominates the other two. Adding the Fairy type to Delphox instead of Psychic would disrupt this carefully balanced dynamic. It would grant Delphox an unfair STAB advantage against Greninja's Dark type, undermining the equilibrium among the starter Pokémon final forms dual types.

I gave Cricketune the Bug/Normal type in my rom hack because it's a very vanilla bug character with a lot of sound based techniques which are normal type.

I had an idea for a Fire/Electric type Pokémon based on firecrackers & fireworks, and an Electric/Fire WOULD be most likely to be based on plasma as a concept which IS what fireworks technically are.

Rock & Steel & Ice can be easily combined with Normal in 2 ways: 1. Make the Gen 3 Regis have weird fuisons with Regigigas. 2. Make some simple Normal Type mammal that gains an second type upon Evolution (like Bibarel and Diggersby did).

Fire/fairy should be easy to do. Same with bug/dragon. I don't know why they haven't done those yet. Houndstone should have been ghost/rock...what a missed opportunity there.

Should Regice be able to learn fire moves? given the control over temperature theme.

I could see normal + steel working if it starts off as a normal type and gain steel typing as it evolves, for example like you stated, with some sort of armor or whatever

Rock/ghost is the only one so far i could imediatly think of something that would work and be intresting. A likely mythical pokemon capable of changing it's form acording to the fossil item it holds, regularly it would just be ghost and dark type, like a shadow.

Bug and Normal is perfect for a sound based Kricketune evolution

well this is me learning that spiritomb is NOT a rock/ghost type. i've never used one before but also just assumed it was rock/ghost.. it's literally a ghost that lives in a rock?? the item it's in is literally called a keySTONE and it is a SPIRITomb.. but apparently it's actually dark/ghost.

There's a fair few type combos that make you think "how has that not happened yet?" an I wonder if them being passed on despite good opportunities for them (like Rock/Ghost and Bug/Dragon) makes them more or less likely. 0:54 - Indeed, with Mega Evolutions not being a thing in modern games, I feel they definitely should be on this list. Alternative form and Legendary only types only if you have spare time; they are pretty exclusive and rare as a result. 1:27 - I recall a video giving Kricketot/Kricketune the Bug/Normal type combo and I feel the idea made a lot of sense. Normal as a stand-in for Sound (which doesn't exist but a good chunk of said attacks are Normal) and I feel it's a decent enough type combo. It turns one of Normal's only weaknesses into a neutral aspect, gives immunity to Ghosts and STAB for the wider array of Normal type attacks that exist. 2:19 - Now there's a Pokémon whose typing never made much sense; why is Lucario, Steel again? A Pokémon in armour makes the most sense for a Steel/Normal Pokémon. 4:55 - I like how easy it is to benefit Ice with the Normal typing here. If they were to bring back an old Pokémon design, the scrapped Urufuman/Waaurufu would fit very well with Normal/Ice. 6:57 - Poison types finally received some love again. Now if only Ground types could get some appreciation outside of regional/paradox forms. 8:58 - That would be so cool and a nice twist on their usual formula with the starting Bugs. That said, they've passed tons of opportunities for this type combination; Yanma, Flygon, Goomy. They seem to be against this type combo existing. 9:54 - Houndstone was bad enough, not made a Ghost/Rock because they wanted to keep to all three dogs being single types to match. How on earth is Runerigus not Ghost/Rock though!?

Ice fire pokemon with sniper, frost breath, and a signature fire type varient of frost breath

In my fake region the regional bug is a bug/dragon type, but it doesn't reach it's final evolution until level 45 when it gains the dragon type

A northern Canada, Alaska, Siberia, Finland, or Greenland could knock out all the ice type pairings.

Fire-ice, fire-electric, dragon-fairy seem like must haves. All literature lends itself to it

id also love to see a fully evolved non legendary mono flying type

I always thought it'd be cool for the normal/bug type to be based on a naked mole rat, as they're the only truly eusocial mammals. Maybe make them part termite, as that's a sort of insect that somehow still hasn't been pokéfied? I guess it would also have to have some ground-attack-boosting ability or something to accommodate not giving a subterranean species its obvious ground type. Speaking of rodents, I could definitely see a normal/ice type lemming, that'd be a good way to give a pokémon counterpart to a species which as of yet doesn't have one. Also, is it bad that I'd kind of enjoy an overcooked evolved form for dachsbun that gains the fire type? It could be like a biscotti 'mon or something.

For bug/normal, my sis has said a while back that there's some kind of bug in the world that uses dirt to put on clothes for itself. Thus, a pokemon could be inspired from that to be a bug that wears regular human clothes.

Seeing the Mosquiphant again really brings back memories from my childhood.

I got that book for Christmas last year; I loved reading it as a kid, I checked it out of the library for 3 months solid...

@@emperorcubone Could you just imagine Pokémon based on the creatures from that book?

i’m surprised they ever did a dragon fairy

I love the combination of fire/fairy to be a thing I would love a wisp Pokémon to have that typing, I would have that Pokémon in my team

a poison/ice type can be some sort of extinct virus (pure poison) but thawed out from an arctic region, adopting the ice typing. might as well be a fossil pokemon for a future gen too

Idk what I expected.. but ranking just based off your random line of thinking isn’t what I thought this would be. It’s genuinely not that complicated

Also because you made the if even gen 9 pokemon were duel type before the dlc what would the dlc mons be if they had 2 types and also give them a rating

Well the thing is, literally none of the new Pokemon are mono-typed except for the "mascot" ones Ogerpon and Terapagos. So for Ogerpon I'd probably say Grass/Fairy, but only like a 1 star, and the Terapagos I think would honestly fit to be every type at 3 stars, but if that's cheating I'd say Rock (because it's made of crystal) at 1 and 1/2 stars just because we don't have that combo yet...

I can think of so many ideas for an electric/fire Pokemon!!! Fiery pikachu clone, a pokemon based around heat lightning, stuff like that!

A steel and normal type pokemon sounds like a terminator pokemon. Half human half machine. Actually sounds cool for a pseudo legendary. Imagine a conkelder looking pokemon with a big Cannon for an arm. Like cyborg from teen titans

Bug/Dragon is giving me some Legend of Dragoon Feyrbrand the green tusked dragon flashbacks, Specifically because it was mantis like a used status inflicting slime attacks.

I made an Ice/Poison type pokemon that was ice and snow interacting with radioactive sludge to create a little golem.

That could be pretty cool!

Ghost and Rock are my two favorites types so I'd love to see them finally be together.

There’s one been one grass/rock and grass/ground type pokemon with cradily and torterra. We deff need a new pokemon for these types

I'm envisioning a tundra-traveling, nuclear-fallout-afflicted Pokemon for Ice/Poison. Make it a wolf or wild dog, maybe with melting features or multiple heads etc. Give it a vaguely Russian aesthetic and call it Zarberus. Probably a bit of a heavy concept though and might necessitate a unique in-game area.

My fave types are dark and electric dark being 1st You can imagine my dissapointment when morpeko was revealed Edit: bug normal actually seems very likely, but only on stage one of its evo line as it would be the most normal looking bug

Haha, I'm so sorry! I hope you get a real representative for the type one day. I feel your pain because my favorite types are Ground and Electric, so I got Stunfisk...

@@emperorcubone tyty Altho im a massive fan of stunfisk it was not the best choice for that type

i think an ape that goes from normal to normal-rock to normal-steel with armor and tools would be cool

Normal/ice would probably be a saber toothed tiger, normal/bug would be a horsefly (large insect with hooves in my mind for appearance), normal/steel could be an alpaca/lama with steel wool, and lastly normal/rock could be an armadillo with a stone armor. (Before anyone brings up sandshrew/sandslash, they are pangolins not armadillos.)

Dragon/Fairy would be a great pairing permenantly.

I can see GF giving Charcadet the Ralts treatment to cover remaining fire combos

I would LOVE for Charcadet to become the next Tyrogue! Although more than three would be nice, but we don't need quite as many as Eevee. Maybe five or so armors which is just enough for Fairy, Electric and Ice!

I could see fire/electric be a plasma pokémon or even a blue fire electric phoenix type pokémon, if that fancy maybe even as a pseudo legendary or something. Creativity knows no bounds, I am sure we will see them at some point

Normal/Bug could work with a snail where its house could be something "Normal"...

They could improve ice to be resistant to flying and normal. Maybe bug, too.

Yes to the first 2 but bug is already pretty heavily resisted TwT Fairy is my favorite type but I agree they should have made bug resist it or even be super effective
