For Electric and Grass, I was thinking of a lemon.

I would love the concept of a Schodingers Cat for the typing of Ghost and Normal.

Resists more than half the game “Aight seems hype” *quad weak to Earthquake* “Aight seems trash”

GameFreak: "We're always looking to innovate the game." Also GameFreak: "Let's make another Dragon/Flying type."

I think the perfect electric/fighting pika clone would have to be a kangaroo rat that has electric kicks.

Normal/Ghost: Can we get like a haunted bedsheet? Just take that children's halloween costume and make it an actual ghost.

Don’t ask me why but when I first thought of an Ice/Poison type, my mind went to a narwhal with toxins dripping off the horn.

Emperor Cubone: Poison and Psychic Galarian Slowbro: Hi

Electric/Fighting: What Zeraora should have been

When you were talking about the Poison/Steel typing, I immediately thought of a steel-plated scorpion

bruh how are you gonna bring up electric/grass then just say: "I think a crab would work" with no reference to either type.

It would be hilarious if a generation made the final evolutions of the starters: Fire, grass Water, fire And grass, water

A Normal/Ghost Type could literally be a generic, stock ghost, what with the floating white sheet with eyes

I think a Dragon/Fairy pokemon would look like a Peacock

For Electric Grass, hear me out, do something pertaining to a Lightning Struck Tree, sort of in the same vain as Trevanent, except instead of being animated by a spirit, it’s animated by PURE LIGHTNING!

Pokémon Company: “Well most of these type combos seem impossible, because if-“ Pokémon Uranium: “HAH, WHILE YOU WERE BUSY COMPLAINING, I JUST DID THEM!”

If Gamefreak ever make a fire/grass they should use Swampfire as a reference.

An offensive Fire/Fairy type would be so powerful with the right stats given to it. I would like its design to be a pixie with fiery wings and a burning wand

Came back to this one just to listen to the Ghost/Normal combination now when it's official that Hisuian Zorua and Hisuian Zoroark is gonna be Normal/Ghost

For grass and electric, my thought would be mycelium, aka the underground part of fungi. It has been described as an organic Internet, forms symbiotic relationships with surrounding flora and has been proven to be a great brick substitute when dried and compressed. With all of that, a tank healer with an ability that increases defense when sunny day is in effect/when hit by a fire type move

Pokéfans: “Why isn’t there a pokemon with poison and steel?” Me: imagines used drug needle Also me: “... I have no idea. It’s a total mystery!”

for the Psychic/Poison type, I think a regional variant of Arbok could work, maybe basing its psychic powers in hypnosis.

Your idea of a fairy dragon type being based on the medical symbol with the serpent is great, I really like that :) seems very fitting of the type combo

fairy / fire can be a little whisp that saves other pokemon from forest fire

Poison/Psychic: A hypnotic snake? Or other venomous creature

For Ghost / Normal how about an opossum? Kinda playing off the whole “play dead” defense mechanism.

A Fighting-Electric type would be cool, it’s Pokédex entry could be something like how it punches so fast it produces electricity?

6:22 Actually, for the spider-monkey idea, there is a species that could make that work: the feather-legged assassin bug, whose scientific name is Ptilocnemus lemur. The design would be primarily based on the bug, but it would be given aspects of lemurs (despite the species of bug being native to Australia).

For the poison steel type I’d make a new form of toxapex. One who has left the water so had to become even more bulky to survive attacks from bird Pokémon.

While Fairy-type has often been used as the "cute type", I'd rather think of Fairy as being the "magic type". So for me a Fairy-Fighting mix would be a humanoid Pokemon that uses magic to imbue its fists and feet with more power than what is possible through martial prowess alone. It could even learn a few signature Fairy-type punch & kick moves, which would be very fitting as Fairy-Type moves are super-effective against regular fighting types. Think along the lines of Gallade but a rather than using psychic abilities to get the upper-hand over regular fighters it would use magic.

Here's my ideas, for what they're worth: *Ground/Fighting: Please give us a kangaroo Pokémon, Gamefreak! *Fire/Ice: Expanding on the giant idea, something with a general Viking vibe? Norse mythology has it that the world was created by the collision of fire and ice. Fire/Grass: There are certain plants that can only spread their seeds if their cones/hulls are popped open by the heat of a forest fire. A Pokémon with that concept would be cool. Fire/Electric: Perhaps a living generator that burns fuel to create electricity? Fairy/Fire: An alternate evolution for Vulpix, maybe? Or a will-o-the-wisp? ...That's what I've got for now.

I'd most like to see Ice/Poison and Electric/Fighting. Also, there's a handful of cool combinations that are exclusive to legendaries/mythicals/UBs and so for most in-game purposes might as well be unused. Of those, I'd most like to see Rock/Poison and Ice/Dragon.

Emp.C: *Mentions Poison/Steel* Me: I would like to remind everyone that URANIUM is a metal, and Uranium Poisoning is a thing that can happen.

I was so dispapointed when they missed the ocasion to make a fire and fairy type with Galar Ponyta and made it a boring and already seen fairy and psychic type.

we got the ghost normal type in hisuen zorua and her evolution , so nice to see some of the types here are getting covered and we got galarian slowking for Poison Psychic

The Schrodinger's cat and possessed Bedsheets for Ghost/normal is nice so like why not both?

Why not have a Grass/Electric stinging plant like a Nettle or Thistle

I loved the one design for a “sickness“ evolution line, where a poison type with a cold can evolve to have feaver or chills, thus gaining the fire or ice typing.

I want a Galarians bedrill and butterfree, beedrill being bug dark and butterfree being a bug fairy

Watching this 2 years later and losing my mind at the Pawmot predict.

It's weird how many unused combinations there are.

I've had a cool idea for a Ghost/Normal type Pokemon for a few years now: A Thylacine. Also known as a Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf. I even have a good backstory: They were originally pure Normal type and pretty common until they were hunted to near extinction. They evolved the Ghost type and became more elusive to survive and basically became cryptids. I based it off of modern-day sightings of the supposedly extinct thylacine.

20:58 I have a feeling Galarian Slowbro/king are gonna be this combo EDIT: Poggers

My mind was blown when I found out Darmanitan can become an Ice and Fire type! Now, why the heck isn't the Corsola line Rock and Ghost?

Runerigus should've been ghost/rock. Also, an ice/poison type could be a porcupine whose quills are poison-tipped icicles

A lot of the unused fairy type combinations would most usually resemble something from a fairytale. At least thats what i think. So a introducing them would probably be best in a region with a history of fairytales. Like Germany with their Broedrene grimm.

22:40 even better: make it learn "Magnet Rise" with levelup and give it the "Thick Fat" ability -> Immune to Ground, 4x resist to ice and normal to fire

I'd like to see a rusted Pokémon for Steel/Poison. I think it would be cook to go for the corrosion effect.

18:46 That’s not a wooly rhino that is a Mud Horne from The Mandalorian lol

Poison/steel? JUST MAKE IT HAVE RUSTED METAL. rust poisoning and Tetanus are NO JOKE!

I've always envision Fairy/Fire as a pseudo-legendary line of Angels going from an angel to a cherubim and to a Seraphim who are all associated with fire. As for psychic/poison type... ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

Did I just see a dragon prince screenshot there? You, sir, gained my support.

Grass + Electric: Glow in the dark mushrooms or a plant that produces sour fruits or glow in the dark fruits.

20:20 Immunity to ghost: Am I a joke to you?

Emperor Cubone: Designing a poison psychic type could be difficult Slowbro: Laughs in Galarian

Steel is my favourite type, closely followed by poison... I've been waiting years for a pokemon with both! Eternatus was a step in the right direction, since dragon is great as well in my eyes, but imagine! The defences of a steel type with the Statuses/Debuffs of poison! Man I'd love that

I hope when Gamefreak does finally use these type combinations they think outside the box a little. 2 of my favorite ideas that I came up with are: Normal/Ghost: A possum that "plays dead" with Comatose as an ability. A lot of potential for tankiness with 3 immunities and resistance to statuses. Ground/Fighting: A dingo with focus on kicking moves and sandstorm use. Probably the standard Sand Rush/Veil abilities, and a design that looks like a more wild version of Midday Lycanrock.

Beedrill exists: Emperor Cubone: a bug and dark type Pokémon could be something like a hornet

Bro, you nailed some of these, especially the Pikachu clone idea

I've actually come up with concepts for a lot of these, having come up with a whole two regions' worth of new Fakemon: Ground/Fighting - A cassowary, a notoriously dangerous flightless bird. It becomes Dragon Fighting when it evolves Ground/Fairy - A dustbunny, kind of inspired by the soot sprites in My Neighbour Totoro Bug/Dark - A gypsy moth, an early-game bug based on the notoriously destructive moth Bug/Dragon - A kind of hybrid of a dragonfly and the legendary dragon Vritra, who stole all the world's water, referencing dragonflies' waterway habitats Bug/Normal - A honey badger with hives of insect drones in its fur, similar gimmick to Vespiquen Dragon/Fairy - A sphinx, being a powerful mystical creature of great wisdom, magic and savagery Electric/Grass - A calendula, or marigold flower, crossed with a satellite laser weapon. Also a minor pun of Marigold rubber gloves, which resist electricity Electric/Fire - A chinchilla, its thick fur charging static while keeping an internal fire going. Alternatively, a minotaur starter themed on chemical reaction and lab equipment Electric/Fighting - A kangaroo, for that 'lightning-fast boxer' motif Fire/Fairy - An angel legendary, themed on seraphim Fire/Grass - A burning Wicker Man effigy. Doesn't like bees. Pokemon Sage notably has chilli pepper jackalopes Fire/Ice - An abstract sorcerer-y thing representing the concepts of internal energy and entropy. It could draw heat from its surroundings (Ice) or release that energy (Fire) Ghost/Normal - A Schrodinger's Cat that can flip its state to change its playstyle. Kinda like if the genders of Meowstic were one Pokemon Ghost/Rock - An ushabti (Egyptian funerary statue) themed on Anubis. Also, a slightly weirder one, a fossil Pokemon that's kind of like a virus that represents the process of fossilisation itself (I had the idea that it had an attack that made Pokemon into Fossils like Cofagrigus' Mummy, then got stronger the more Fossil Pokemon there were in battle) Ice/Normal - An early-game rodent based on the arctic lemming. In reference to the games, it made an excellent HM mule (at least, before HMs stopped being a thing) Normal/Rock - A fossil Pokemon based on prehistoric apes and Hominids. I figured it would have an Ability to help it understand man-made items like Potions, expanding its held item potential Normal/Steel - A sheep. Specifically, its dual type works its way from Ground to Rock to Steel as its fleece hardens, becoming more like Kevlar by the end Poison/Psychic - A legendary Pokemon kind of based on lycanthropy? The inspiration was Vicar Amelia from Bloodborne. More of a focus on physical moves like Psychic Fangs and Zen Headbutt Poison/Steel - A sea urchin. Not sure what more needs to be said here. I've seen more than a few themed on radioactive waste though Funnily enough, I did also come up with a capybara Pikaclone, but it was part-steel with copper wire for fur and themed on batteries

Bug/Dragon is kinda obvious, a DRAGONfly Because a Dragonfly exists IRL and it's name is kinda a pun in this context.

11:54 Zoboomafoo, with the Kratt Brothers! While walking in the woods one day, Chris and Martin saw something strange. A little leaping lemur who liked to bounce and play. Ah, man, nostalgia for days! Thank you for that, Emperor Cubone!

A few easy solutions: - Zeraora becomes Electric/Fighting like everyone thought it would be - Cofagrigus becomes Ground/Ghost and Runerigus takes Rock/Ghost - Poipole and Naganadel become Poison/Steel

I got one for fire/ice: take an animal with a two striped pattern (ie tigers or zebras) and make one color stripe fire and the other stripe ice.

20:22 You forgot that a Poison/Normal Pokemon would be immune to Ghost.

The best part about really defensive poison combos is that direct attacking isn't necessarily the main goal of poison types. A poison steel type could with (toxic or maybe baneful bunker), (cosmic power or iron defense or minimize), (rest or recover) and (ground type attack) or something similar, would be pretty strong.

As a fan of both Pokemon and Digimon I like the fact that you used Digimons as examples for these typings and really good examples too.

Screencap shows up: "You're all wrong, Cyndaquil is an echidna!

For Fairy/Fighting, I could just imagine the quote "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" being a good starting point, though it would probably be better for a bug type.

I think a fire/fairy would be something like a will of the wisp

An electric fire pokemon can be based on a saber tooth tiger, that would be cool to see

A metal snake with large poison dripped fangs and tail could be a really cool poison steel type Pokemon.

I've had another idea to bring up: How about the three starter Types all being represented as different combinations of a trio of starters? Fire/Grass, Water/Fire and Grass/Water would be a very interesting and innovative Trio of Starters, wouldn't it?^^

"Electric and grass might be hard to imagine..." ME: "SAILOR JUPITER."

4:43- but we already have a hornet in the form of Beedrill since it ain't a true bee in the Pokemon world. Instead I recommend the Triatomine Bug, since it's a nocturnal blood sucker that leaves a nasty fatal disease in it's feces. It's also black in color. 6:21: Think of this way, Why does Drapion lose its bug typing evolving from Skorupi, because it's based of an arachnid, which aren't true insects. Neither are spiders but Ariados and Galvantula still keep there bug typing while also possessing a secondary type. So if we treat Arachne, or other invertebrates, as bug types then how bout an Uloboridae Spider, which would make a good pic for a Normal/Bug because it's completely venomless and relies only on its silk to get it's prey and cocoon it instead. 8:40 Amoongus, Breloom and Shiinotic have in common of being grass mushroom Pokemon, however Mushrooms are not true plants. so if their allowed to be Grass types still then why not include ideas like A seaweed(Algae) or a Cyanobacteria Pokemon which would be capable of Bioluminescence, which is where the electric comes in. And before you ask, why a Bacteria like Pokemon, my response is Why is there an Embryo evolutionary Pokemon? 9:20 I would argue a Sentient living Hybrid car like Pokemon would be far more interesting and would help get player's around areas of a region they've already visited much faster then Gogoat. We already have enough catlike pokemon anyway. 10:25 yes to a Kappabara no to another Pikachu clone, unless they do give it an evolution! 11:10 Happy from Fairy Tail. Lol (sorry couldn't resist one joke answer) 14:16: nice idea, but sounds like it could end up a mythical. I propose the best idea is a Narwal Whale, with it's horn utilizing Fire to help it break through Ice much easily and of course being ice to survive artic fridgit conditions, and as it evolves it's horn gets longer until it's final evolution said horn overtakes it's whole mouth turning it into a Bore drill. It could also have an ability, Sea Dweller (I made that up), to give it a third stab type for water. 17:40 apparently "Don't eat the yellow snow" is a foreign concept to EmpCubone, but a more serious pick would be a Greenland Shark, it's flesh contains Trimethylamine Oxide which is toxic and it can survive artic cold temperatures in Greenland. (Edited) also much like Garchomp, this Pokemon could be a land bipedal shark but instead in an artic environment. 20:45 excuse you, have ya met Galarian Slowbro and Slowing???

Here are a few designs I thought of for certain typings: Bug/Dark: I think a cool design for this type would be a Black Widow sort of Pokemon. So a large spider, perhaps with some kind of defining feature such as claws, fangs, or webbing. Bug/Dragon: There is actually a moth called the Dragon Moth, and it looks sick. I think it could make an amazing looking Pokemon, maybe even a pseudo-legendary. Bug/Normal: An ant could fit into this nicely, as it is one of the most common insects. To make it more interesting, it could start as a regular sort of ant soldier, and then evolve into a queen ant, similarly to Combee and Vespiquen. Electric/Grass: This Pokemon would be very hard to pull off a nice design with, but I think if there were some sort of flowery Pokemon like Vileplume that had solar panel styled petals, then that would make a very great Electric Grass type. Fairy/Fighting: I think that a Pokemon similar to Hitmonchan would fit, but instead of boxing, this Pokemon would fight using Capoeira (A Brazilian martial art that implements dancing elements). Fairy/Fire: Since Fairy types are usually connected to mythology in some way, I think that a Lampad (nymphs of the Underworld) or some other kind of fire nymph could work very well for this typing. Fire/Ice: I think a Crested Penguin with it's large eyebrows made out of fire would be an amazing Pokemon for this typing. Also, although a penguin is a bird, it is flightless, so it couldn't be flying type. Ghost/Normal: There are two good possibilities that I could think of for this typing. 1. A basic ghost that is just a white sheet with eye holes. 2. A haunted magic 8-ball toy. For the second one, I'd want it to have the move metronome, as magic 8 ball toys randomly choose responses. Ice/Poison: A great design I thought of for this typing is an arctic narwhal whose horn is a poisonous needle. It's kind of simplistic, but I think it'd be very nice to see. Normal/Steel: Elephant with a gun/turret for the trunk. It'd be so cool. Poison/Fairy: Alright, so I know that this was only brought up just for a gag, and that Galarian Weezing is this typing, but I still wanted to design one. So since Fairy types are often mythological, I think a Lavellan would work great for this. I don't know too much about them, but they're basically just large poisonous rat that was believed to poison small rodents to death before eating them.

For normal ghost, I went with a Casper like design. A friendly ghost wearing a sheet named Spookute.

GameFreak already gave us great Electric/Fighting looking pkmn in Electivire & Zeraora, but made them pure Electric types.

"if a type combo is only represented in a temporary form change, it's not valid" THANK YOU! SOMEONE ACTUALLY GETS IT!

Me: sees poison psychic why is that up there galarian Slowbro has that Me: sees it was made two months ago Me: oooooooooh that's why

Hope the dlc brings some of these. Actually Galarian Slowbro or Slowking could very well be Psychic and Poison

I'm still tilted that Zeraora isn't an Electric/Fighting Type.... this honestly ruined the Pokemon for me xD

Anyone else here for Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark? *WE FINALLY GOT NORMAL/GHOST, PEOPLE!!! YEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!*

You did somewhat guess the concept of an electric/fighting pokemon with Pawmi, a pikaclone, that actually evolves. Only part you got wrong was that it wasn't a capybara

Just imagine a regional blastoise that's steel and poison He gets metal plating all over his body, and poison oozes out of his cannons That would be so sick

Hey Caleb. Hope you're doing well in this toxic time! Stay safe and wash you hands!

Really called the Pawmot line with the Pikachu clone suggestion! Except for the capybara part 😛

I feel like for a Grass Fire Pokémon, it would make a ton of sense to turn it into a chef Pokémon. Grass is already paired with fruits, so adding fire would give it the opportunity to cook those berries and fruits. Maybe it could have an ability that would randomly give one Pokémon in your party a berry with a heightened effect.

20:31 actually there's already a "poisonous mammal" in real life a member of the Lemur family, called: Slow Loris the only living mammal alive known to naturally produce poison from its mouth

If they ever do a regional Pikachu, Electric Fighting would be rad.

Yo Emperor Cubone predicting a fighting type pikachu clone that evolves?

Galarian weezing should've been poison/steel. It's an industrial chimney after all. With levitate, it would've also warded off its quad weakness to ground!

Ice/poison: Jormungand or other world serpent Poison/psychic: hypnotic serpent? Poison/steel: rusted creature

I'm so glad you included a ground and fighting type. I have always wanted there to be one because I always want a ground pokemon not only because of some of the strong moves but because it is the only thing to go against electric and since you can only have 6 pokemon at once, that combination makes it a lot easier to have something to go against electric but to still have a fighting type.

I love the idea of getting a luna moth for a dark bug and a more mystical looking dragonfly for dragon bug. Or even a dragon bug that starts off as very wimpy looking and evolves into a much more elegant, regal looking fairy dragon based off of the wings, build, and coloring getting slight changes.

The rationale you came up with for the Ice/Poison combo makes for a really cool backstory for a legendary, just saying.

7:27 that is a good idea! But it reminds me of what somebody said that the reason galarian ponyta isn't a fairy type is because unicorns are associated with healing and fairy is weak to poison, but psychic is strong against it.

"all of the starting types paired together make good combinations" Flashbacks to ludicolo getting one shot by freeze dry

‘Kabloom’ would make a very good name for a fire/grass type

The fact there still isnt a ground fighting gorilla is surprising Also i have an idea of fairy/dragon pokemon *A JAPANESE PEACEFUL DRAGON* It gets some of the main elements of both types The "destruction incarnate" side of dragon type by being very powerful (defensively) and being a very intimidating foe (specially if they decide to take wailord throne of biggest and make this pokemon a long spaghetti boi) but being very peaceful and a pacifist like most fairies type thus combining both types characteristics but having the japanese theme of "im a monk and is completely pacifist and wouldnt hurt a fly but since you arent im going to maul your face off if you even dare swing your hand against me" archetype that asian characters seem to have
