I just came up with an idea for a new Pokemon type that isn't Sound, Light, Time, Space, Cosmic, etc. It's a type called Toon type, much like Pegasus' Toon monsters from Yu-Gi-Oh. Basically, Toon type Pokemon are made up of ink and rely on the art of slapstick comedy and toon physics in battle. Physical Toon type moves involve things like bombs, mallets, anvils and cream pies while most special Toon type moves involve blasting ink at the opponent. Toon types are very diverse design-wise and range from animals to plants to inanimate objects to humanoid creatures. Most of them look strange, silly and cartoonish but don't be fooled as they're much stronger than they look and are perfect for countering the ever-so-strong Fairy types and are great for dealing with Electric and Poison types if you don't have a Ground type on your team. Although, they do have a crippling weakness to Water types as well as Ghost types. Often, Toon types tend to be physical attackers and are generally similar to Fighting types in terms of stats but there are a few Special attacking Toon types like Harlequeen, Brolar as well as the Gaspray and Dolfun lines. A new status effect called "Laughter" is often induced by Toon type Pokemon and makes the opponent's Attack stat drop by one stage per turn until their laughing fit stops. However, a new ability called Tough Crowd as well as Oblivious makes a Pokemon immune to laughter and Toon types themselves are immune to the status effect. Toon type Pokemon are very popular with the Artist and Preschooler trainer classes and a cartoonist Gym Leader named Arthur specializes in Toon Type Pokemon, giving out an Animation Badge when beat. His team consists of Goodra, Hammerhawk, Racriminal and his ace, a Harleking. The Toon Type Z-Movie would be called Saturday Morning Madness and the Toon Type Dynamax move would be called Max Anvil Drop.
Toon Types are weak to: Water and Ghost.
Water dilutes ink and washes it away and while toons may be immune to Fairy magic, they are also generally terrified of ghosts and tend to spook easily.
Toon Types resist: Normal, Fire, Poison and Steel.
Normal things don't really effect a toon, toons can survive getting burnt to a crisp, poison doesn't do much to beings made of ink and a cartoon character can easily survive an anvil to the head.
Toon Types are immune to: Fairy.
Cartoons are too hip and contemporary so ancient Fairy magic has no effect on them.
Types that are weak to Toon: Electric, Poison and Fairy.
Toons are known for breaking the forth wall and toying with electrical fields, laughter is the best medicine and toons can make people laugh away illness and old fashioned fairy tales tend to get trumped by more modern and innovative story ideas.
Types that resist Toon: Fighting, Dark and Water.
A well-trained martial artist or being of pure evil could simply brush away cartoon shenanigans while water just washes ink away.
Types that are immune to Toon: N/A.
Toon has a completely neutral relationship with: Grass, Bug, Ice, Flying, Ground, Rock, Psychic, Dragon, Toon
