Okay guys, with the 5th generation just around the corner, I was just interested to see what new typings people would like to see from Black and White. I'm talking here about unqiue type combinations, and why you think they would be a good idea, and how that Pokemon would affect the current metagame. To get the ball rolling, here are a few of mine; Grass/Steel (definite must!) Dark/Fighting (Offensive coverage) Ghost/Water (for defensive purposes) Poison/Steel (interesting defensive concept) And finally, Ice/Electric (for devastating coverage) Feel free to make any suggestions!
Ghost/Fighting (perfect coverage, except for: Ghost/Normal (dunno, kinda cool) Ghost/Steel (good defensive typing) Ghsot/Fire (also, seems cool) Many ghosts^^ Maybe i add more later, cant think of more now.
A final evolution that's just Dragon, and use able. No extra typing. I know it's not a combo of two types, but still... Ghost/fire-at the least, hits neutral on anything. I think. Ice/dragon-a source of STAB to hit other dragons with ice. Ice/steel, for the same reason(although Fire in general will rape it.)
Ghost fire doesnt hit everything for neutral damage, i.E. Heatran, TTar, Snorlax. Ice dragon is just bad. I´d like to see one too, but it´s just bad, and ice for super effective stab on other dragons isnt a really good argument. I´d also like to see a fighting/flying pokemon.
gotta have some more Electric combos. Electric is only paired with a few types (off the top of my head, Steel, Water, Ghost and Flying), and has a lot of potential. Only one weakness and a great STAB.
I'm so pleased that I got so many responses :D Srsly, a pure Dragon type sounds really interesting. Have to see what the new generation brings...
Yeah, what Bluff said, but good point coyo. Fire/Water...would be interesting to see how they pull it off. Some kind of underwater volccano...?
Just like Bluff said, I meant a final evolution as just the Dragon type, not just an unevolved pokemon, Coyotte...lol Anyway, just wanted to throw out ideas in my last post. Also, I was thinking about common threats in the lower tiers-not OU; thanks for picking it apart, G.I.R. :p I just have to say, Fire/water is definitely my favorite concept. Decent coverage, as well.
Yo dawg, I heard you leik dragons, so we put a dragon in your dragon, so you can pokemon while you pokemon, and i can accidentally in your base. Wait... what?
So, everyone agrees that dragons are amazing. Awesome. Anyway, to make this post relevant, what about a fire/grass pokemon? Has the same amount of weaknesses as fire/water, and has decent coverage.
pokemonnerd, they tried that on CAP, with Pyroak. Interesting Pokemon, quite effective. Would really have to have Flash Fire to be effective though.
Heh, actually, I wouldn't mind seeing a properly viable Bug/Flying type. Maybe if it had an ability that negated entry hazard damage, like Clamber, or Navigate.
Or...Magic Guard.... But id like to see a Non legend Dragon Steel type with levitate. Epic amountof resistances with only one weakness
Heh, good point destinybond, but I think Navigate sounds better. And yes, such a Pokemon would be the equivalent of Christ.
Well, magic guard effectively makes status close to useless. "Navigate" would be there just to avoid stealth rock damage. At least, that's what I got out of it.
they shuld make some more types that are like spiritomb an sableye. instead of ghost/dark they shuld make a couple more like that
By that, you mean a type combination that provides almost no weaknesses? Well mate, it's a nice thought, but I can't really think of any. Here's another cool typeing. Poison/Steel, preferably with Levitate or Heatproof.
Mm. But hey, imagine a seperate Koffing evo line. Similar sort of Pokemon, but part Steel. Some industry related name... anybody got any ideas?
Poison/Steel might be called "iPhone 4" (jk) Ghost/Flying would be cool. (That is, one that actually looked like a bird and not some blimp/hot-air balloon thing). The idea is that it would actually get decent flying STAB (brave bird) and thus would be a cool counter to generic fighting types. Fire/Dragon. We all know dragons breathe fire, why not give it stab? and levitate?
