That makes no sence at all, and anyway she's been purple for years now...

I don't see why it does't make sense o.o and we all know her true color is black

 

[GreatGonzales]

Jynx. It doesn't even look like it has a typing at all.

And excuse me if I sound like a 3 year old... But how the F is charizard not dragon type?

I just never understood grumpig's typing. It's an effing pig.

And especially shelgon. It's just a big.... Well, ball.

It's been said countless times; Charizard being a Dragon type would have given him an unfair advantage in comparison to the other starters.

 

[Ashrynn]

I thought Serperior might be part Poison, being a snakey~! Glad it wasn't actually.

Meditite being Fighting.

Flygon NOT being a Bug Type

Altaria being a Dragon

Venusaur being Poison

Jynx being ANYTHING

 

[Schade]

Frillish and Jellicent doesn't really look like Ghosts

 

[ReclusiveDemon]

The Trapinch evolution line seems odd to me. Trapinch should be a Bug and Ground type, considering that it is based on the Antlion. Vibrava is also odd; it's Ground/Dragon, like Flygon, yet it has no features suggestive of being a Dragon type. Flygon's typing seems to be the most appropriate, but if it's pre-evolutions were Bug type, then Flygon would be passable as Bug/Dragon.

Thanks guys! That berry thing is really helpful!

 

[Cometstarlight]

Yeah, but getting that berry is way easier said than done

 

[Ferrero]

lol ill probably still go with blaziken cuz i like it's attack

 

[Cometstarlight]

.....I never said that not being able to get a Salac berry was worth putting Infernape over Blaziken. I was just telling you that it is difficult to get that kind of berry.

I think it's somewhere buried in the 5th gen competitive RMT section

 

[Aura Sensei™]

Blaziken and Infernape are both good. But I'd have to say Blaziken for it's DW Ability , Speeed Boost. It really helps.

Anyone else think it is kind of dumb that Lucario gains a weakness to fighting just because of the steel typing he barely deserves?

Also it appears that gliscor while not being part poison, was given poison heal to prevent poison? It's kind of like tacking on a 3rd typing.

Also the reason the ghastly line is part poison is to prevent them from being poisoned, since ghosts don't have blood to toxify. (Don't remind me of the difference of poison and toxin) The ground weakness kind of makes sense since you are burying them and laying them to rest.

I always thought mawile was a dark/steel type.

Not all Snakes are poisons, something that Serperior is based on.

Gliscor is based on a scorpion.

 

[Slap Bass♪]

Accelgor - I would've thought at least Bug/Dark.

I'm pretty sure their Ghost typing was tacked on at the last second because Game Freak felt there weren't enough Ghost-types in BW. So you've got a point there.

I never understood that either. If anything, it should be part Psychic given the aura thing.

The ground weakness was only true before they got Levitate. And Ghost-types already resist Poison. For some reason Poison was slapped onto everything and their mother in Gen 1.

Makes sense, considering it's the "Deceiver" Pokemon.

Fighting is neutral against Fighting, Fighting is super-effective against Steel. Hence why Lucario's weak to fighting.

Also it appears that gliscor while not being part poison, was given poison heal to prevent poison? It's kind of like tacking on a 3rd typing.

It's a Scorpion. Plus it's not close to adding a third type...Gliscor still doesn't get STAB from Poison attacks, it just heals itself in the event that it's poisoned (Scorpion poison has been researched and shown to have potential as medicine, so that makes sense).

Er no,

Game Freak plans these things out in advance.

Besides the way Jellicent look in battle gives it a ghostly vibe.

Levitate doesn't remove their ground type weakness since a pokémon with mold breaker can shut it down.

Or Smack Down,letting more Pokémon hit it
