Hello and Happy New Year!
This is just a fun thread not made in an attempt to "fix" the games in any way, but rather just to play around with this idea.
I think it would be fun to see which of the missing type combinations could fit the already existing roster of pokémon from a variety of standpoints.
So since the main idea is to use already existing pokémon the main ground rule will be be not adding or talking about any potential evolutions / regional forms for future games.
For my list, I will also be including types that are exclusive to temporary form changes, mythical and legendries, but not regional variants since they count as standard pokémon that can already be obtained through regular means.
Mainly, I will be going by what is indicated here: https://pokemondb.net/type/unused; note that it includes the Normal/Ghost and Electric/Grass combinations both which have been confirmed for Legends Arceus so I will personally not be including those in my list but you may do so if you wish.
I may also leave a few blank in the event that I cannot come up with a proper pokémon to fit into a certain combination, and I would prefer not to force them so.
So without further ado, here is my list.
Feel free to share you own lists, thoughts, and opinions as well. Oh, and let me know if I have missed any.
