type changes

Gyarados: I think it would seriously make more sense to be a dragon type and water. I mean come on it can learn more Dragon type moves than flying moves

I second that. Gyarados can't learn any Flying moves, but a lot of Dragon moves.

Anyway, the Duskull line should be part Dark, hence the "dusk".

I was afraid someone would come up with this again!

I agree Dunsparce needs to be Ground/Normal and Pinsir should be Bug/Fighting
 
I don't think any pokemon needs other typing, but I believe Ninetales could have been Fire/Psychic if it was like that from the beginning.
 
Well I see the Porygon line, more of a psychic than normal type, so Psychic replacement would be good, as well as giving Infernape its second type something other than fighting, because to say the trueth, I hate that it has the same types as Blaziken and outclassing it by far too.
 
i think spiritomb should be ghost rock getting rid of some of it's uberness i mean it has a great move pool all ready y give it no weaknesses
 
Swellow to be pure Flying and Staraptor to be Flying Dark. WTH are you talking about, if there will be a pure flying type it would be a gust of wind, or a cloud (though a cloud can also be flying/water), and Staraptor? Dark?! Whats so Dark about him?

I don't know, Staraptor just looks like a Dark type to me ;/

if there will be a pure flying type it would be a gust of wind, or a cloud

So from our arguments we have come to the conclusion that Infernape should have been the first Fire / Psychic / Fighting / Dark Pokemon. Kudos to us.

the types of moves they can learn doesn't need to match the type combination it is.

It could have been really cool if Infernape was a Fire/Psychic, but still had access to fighting type moves. It could have shown off how the physical/special split adds more variety to Pokémon movesets. The only tweaks to a Fire/Psychic Infernape would be that it has access to Zen Heatbutt (A physical psychic attack) and Psychic (A special psychic attack) and perhaps Shadow Ball (to go with Shadow Claw, which it can already learn)

But then it would be in direct competition with Heracross. It is fine as it is being pure Bug.

Only thing I would have liked to have seen, would have been what PDL mentioned in the second post; which is that Electivire could have been Fighting/Electric.

Pinsir has many fighting moves. It was meant to be in competition with Heracross because it is the rival of Heracross.

Nooo!!!!!!!!! You shouldn't have said that! Vyksta will come and launch into a full-scale rant!!!!
 
@bigpop618 & ~Goth~; OMG, yet another person saying that Gyarados should be Dragon instead of Flying, its a flying serpant, it has been cleared, and mentioned by Vycksta many times..
 
It makes sense that Gyarados would be a Water/Flying-type. After all, it would be overpowered if it were part Dragon-type. Giving Gyarados a double weakness to Electric attacks keeps it from becoming a uber.
 
Glalie should have been ice/dark to be the opposite of Froslass :)

and PLEASE. no one mention the gyarados should be water/dragon. PLEASE.

I don't thing Gyarados would be uber it if it were Water/Dragon, sure it would easier to switch in/harder to take out, but with all the Salamence's intimidates then hammering him off with a Draco Meteor or D Claw, as well as Dragonite and Garchomp, I don't think that'd be a problem before he DD.

Don't think about it terms of the current generation. With those stats and moves, Gyarados would have severely broken RBY. Nothing could have landed a SE hit on him. Of course, there were some other things broken in RBY, but to give Gyarados that typing would have required severe nerfing of either his stats or his movepool. When they did get around to making a Water/Dragon, they made Kingdra. Like I said, there's a reason that Kingdra doesn't learn many moves or have exceptional stats.

True, it'd be like Mewtwo in R/B/Y, and hey even though Kingdra doesn't have that much of movepool and stats, it still stands ok, I've seen many OU Rain Themed-teams, and it's worked well for them.
 
OMG! This is like the million time I see a thread started about this...

Anyway, I would change Luxray's type to Electric/Dark.
 
I will personally kill anyone who mentions Water/dragon gyarados.

Also, I remember this thread, Elyvorg, we're calling out to you.
