Dark type's theme is "fighting dirty" - moves like tricking, stealing and cheating. I'd say a skunk's spray probably qualifies.

Inkay should have been a Psychic/Dark type so its typing flipped when it evolved.

Why is Azurill Normal type? *Can't swim due to lack of forearms* I'M DEAD RN!!!! 😂😂

I say the Goomy line should actually be Dragon/Poison. After all, snails and slugs aren't actually bugs, and the word goo and slime seem to sound like some kind of toxic waste, or poison.

Volbeat and Illumise look like they could possibly be Electric types as well if they had a second typing. As fireflies can also be known as lightning bugs, and Volbeat looks like it truly could be part electric.

Why is Empoleon a steel type? Wouldn't Water Ice make more sense since it's a Penguin?

spiritomb is 108 EVIL spirits bound to a keystone.

In English to Japanese dragonfly doesn't have the Japanese word for dragon in it and that's why

Golem used Earthquake Doduo that is standing on the ground:It doesn't affect Magnemite that is floating:It's super effective WTF WHY?

Was I the only one who thought that the Goodra line is Dragon/Poison?

Slugs and Snails are NOT insects they're more closely related to Mollusks so really the more appropriate typing would be Water/Dragon

IMO, Goodra would make a good poison type. Or even a water type. Why? Well, for water, don't they need a lot of it to survive? Also sea slug. And poison because they're made of slime(which is often associated with toxicity) and are purple and green. They just look like poison types to me.

Spiritomb is dark so that Cynthia could be more OP

I think Goodra should be Poison/Dragon

Wynaut and wobbuffet are 0.3 ft The body is a decoy The tail is the body

8:33 You missed the opportunity to say "I still don't 108% see why Banette..."

new Tyrouge evolution for Pokémon Sun and Moon: Hitmoncena

Volbeat and Illumise should be Fire/Flying. Why? They're fireflies. In all serious, they should be Bug/Electric with Magnet Rise.

"Vol"beat and "Illumi"se. I'd say they are supposed to be Bug-Electric types, but we got Galvantula from Gen 5 as well, so meh.

Nintendo: used type confusion Me: young boy is confused

Wait, what? Am I the only one who has always thought that Volbeat and Illumise were Bug/Electric? Volbeat's got that glowing butt! Plus, their names would make sense! Volbeat, as in Volt? And Illumise as in Illuminate?

I think Inkay and Malamar are Dark/Psychic because those two types are opposites of each other, which is their gimmick. Opposites.

The Dark-Type is really interesting considering different translations. In the german localisation, it was translated to "Unlicht", using the prefix "un" which is used to negate the original meaning of a word, and "Licht", the german word for light. So instead of using one of the german words for Dark or Darkness, the type was translated to "Not-Light" which in itself does make sense. However, according to the german dictionary, "Unlicht" is a word that does not exist, making it the only type in the german localisation which does not have a real word for a name.

4:16 Instead of bug they should have been fire flying ... get it 😎

I always wondered why Absol was dark type. Did a simple misconception somehow turn it 'evil'?

Am I the only one that for some odd reason thought Darkrai was a ghost type? (When it came out that is)

Fun Fact: when I first started getting into Pokemon, I was collecting Pokemon cards. Only thing is, I didn't know the types, so I had to make educated guesses. And I thought the dragon types were ground types because I only had 5 dragon type cards, and Sliggoo was one of them.

Snails were absolutely giant in French literature fighting them like dragons in English literature, and seeming kalos was based on France, it makes perfect sense for them to be dragon type

Another reasoning for sableye being dark type is that it does hoard and loves shiny gems, and greed is a deadly sin. Tie is just my thoughts though.

I Loved That Video, This One Is Awesome As Well

Who else thought that flabebe's flower was part of its body

Gyarados's Flying type may be a reference to koinobori, a carp-shaped windsock traditionally flown to celebrate Children's Day in Japan

I think Volbeat and Illumise should have been Bug/Electric.

I originally thought illumise and vulbeat were electric/bug types, until vikavolt was revealed as the first electric bug type

I always thought Volbeat and Illumise had an electric typing 😭

Here is a good reason why flabeybey line isn't grass , cuz they are supposed to be good in so defence , and being 4x weak to poison is really gonna suck for them , and in a way , floette and flabeybey are HOLDING a flower , and don't have I stuck to their body , like florges does . Florges could be a grass fairy , but the 4x weakness kinda saves it from grass typing. Edit:If you think I'm wrong , watch the flabeybey episode in XY series , where an old man , who is taking care of a flabeybey , looses it , and it's flower gets ripped apart , yes , it's true.

Wait.. you know that Snails are not Bugs, right?!

actually i think inkay's typing is okay because squids produce ink which is dark and squid's use hypnosis by changing colour to confuse their prey. but no hard feeling i still loved the video and love being subscribed to your channel.

Banette is my favorite pokemon, and rlly needs some kind of buff, I think giving it dark type would be perfect.

When I first encountered a wild Goomy I thought it was a water type, then was confused when electric and grass moves weren't being super-effective. Then I caught it and saw its Pokedex entry, thinking "Wait, this thing is a DRAGON? Wtf?"

I remember when I was like 8 and played Pokemon and found a Banette and thought it was cool in fact it used to be my favorite Pokemon :P then someone told me the story of how it is trying to take revenge on a kid that disowned it and I cried for months afraid to go by a window because I thought it would come out and kill me or something.. Am I the only one who was very scared of Pokemon back stories?

5:36 Wrong, you're the second person I'd find making this mistake. Snails and slugs are mollusks, not bugs, they also don't have exoskeletons because most mollusks like slugs are invertebrates. Mollusk based Pokemon like Cloyster, Octillery, Inkay and Gastrodon are all based on the Gastropod family, including Goomy and its evolutionary line. If Goodra and its pre-evolved forms are based on sea slugs, then it would make more sense if they were WATER and Dragon types.

Seadra's slap in the face with the evo stone is amazing haha you made my day!

Skorupi is actually a poison bug type, not a bug poison type. TRIGGERED

"can't swim due to a lack of forearms" *Can learn surf*

Bannette isnt dark type bc that would have made it OP as until Gen 6 ghost/dark didnt have a weakness

Damn, the amount of time and research gone into this video was outrageous

10:20 oh GOD that transition

skunks are mostly nocturnal, for the dark typing on stunky

Um, Spiritomb is Dark Type because... Quote from Pokemon Pearl, Y, and Alpha Sapphire: "It was bound to a fissure in an Odd Keystone as punishment for *misdeeds 500 years ago* ." Quote from Pokemon Platinum, Black, White, Black 2, and White 2: "Its *constant mischief and misdeeds* resulted in it being bound to an Odd Keystone by a mysterious spell." Quote from Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver: "It was formed by uniting 108 spirits. It has been bound to the Odd Keystone to *keep it from doing any mischief* ." Quote from Bulbapedia: "Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place. It is also based on a Buddhist tradition performed on New Year's Eve in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the *108 temptations* in order to achieve Nirvana. The wisps of spirits surrounding its face also resemble a set of prayer beads, a possible reference to Japa. It may also be based on a crystal ball. Spiritomb may also be based on Water Margin, one of China's Four Great Classical Novels, which is also very well known in Japan. In the first chapter of the novel, a foolish army marshal orders the removal of a stone monument which had been guarded by monks for generations. Doing so releases the spirits of *108 demons* sealed therein. These 108 souls, having *atoned for their sins* , become the 108 Stars of Destiny. They are reincarnated centuries later as *108 outlaws* , the heroes of the novel." ... yeah, it basically screams Dark Type.

5:20 *Cough Wooper Cough* Well, then again, Azurill’s tail doesn’t look fit for swimming whereas Wooper’s tail does. If Wooper even has a tail, I can’t remember off the top of my head.

personally i think illumise looks like it should be fairy type

the flabebe line is probably pure fairy to make it stronger. Adding the grass type would give it a ton of weaknesses.

5:54 That's the image for my channel :o

Don't trash on the goomy line!!!!! They're so precious! XD XD

U know why skunky and stunkank are dark? Cause if youre hitten in real life by a skunk u (might) think that *IT* was evil

Slug. Bug. ... I don't get it: Why would a slug make sense to be a bug-type? I would think that being gooey, being a slug, would make water or poison make more sense, water especially if a sea slug, but I don't understand bug for slug. Can someone explain the logic?

4:16 - Let's scrap the BUG type, let's make em' FIRE FLYING, get it? No? ;_;

Azurill is two ords of the same size, like a hydrogen molecule. Hydrogen is a gas, therefore Azurill is not a water type. It turns into a water type when it evolves because Marill is based partially on a water molecule (one large oxygen atom and two small hydrogen atoms).

2:50 when youtubers settle argumemts between us that we've never started. Giving me game theory flashbacks. Thanks, alex and matpat, think way more in your hypothetical convos than when I'm watching the vid. I'm flattered.

What about Porygon? He and his evolutions are made entirely out of computer code, so you would expect them to be Electric Type, but NOOOOOOOO! Instead they're NORMAL TYPE, and not ELECTRIC TYPE. THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL!!!!!!!!

I'd say Volbeat and Illumise should've been Bug/Fairy. Would've been a nice touch.

For the sea dragon pokemons Its because in the Japanese mythology They thought that sea dragons were baby dragons

6:46 it's water 3 because water 3 egg group is made up of pokemon that resemble invertebrates and scorpions as well as all other arachnids are invertebrates. It is still confusing though, they probably should've named the egg group something else

I'm not a master in biology but... Snails aren't bugs.

I allways found groudon wierd seeing as he is pure ground instead of fire ground

Listen, when I first saw Goomy, I thought it was poison or fairy type. It being a dragon exploded my mind 😂

I still liked the first video. Everyone misses sometimes, that doesn’t mean you quit swinging. Keep up the good work bro

Using the anime as a state of it shows on anime is kinda wrong, remember, Pikachu defeated a Onix with thundershock on the anime.

I feel like malagmar and dragalgae could kind of be explained by what you said about venomoth beedrill and dustox.

Answer to all of this video because balancing

If I had to guess, Banette’s lack of dark typing is more based of the balance of dark ghost types rather than actually fittingness, as pre-fairy type it was pretty much indisputably the best type combo, and still arguably is one

Bug is an interesting type for the Goodra line, but I was actually thinking poison is a better idea. It's literally dripping with...well...something, and it learns a bunch of poison moves. But I do agree with everything else.

AND AZURILL IS THE FLIPPIN WATER BUBBLE/BALL POKEMON LIKE WTH

I use to think Volbeat was an electric type because of the “volt” in its name.

When I played sapphire I always thought volbeat and illumise were bug/flying, but what happened me into that belief is that I would always one hit them with rock moves but then later I saw they were pure bug and was stunned.

One Question... WHY The HECK is Dedenne A goddamn FAIRY type??

For the Yanmega case, you need to know that pokemon originated in Japan. Yes, in english dragon flies have the word "dragon" in it, but in Japanese, it does not.

I always tought Volbeat is bug/electric type I mean VolBEAT get it? Also it looks like it has electricity in his body

There’s probably a comment here somewhere that’s said this but the goomy line is based on a snail-dragon of French mythology

lol he uses the clash of clans dragon design.

I'm not afraid of bugs but whatever that aracnid that Drapion is based on is terrifying

3:18 you didn't remember that in your first battle against PokeMEN

I didn’t watch the first video, but after seeing this one, I’m sure you definitely redeemed yourself 👍🏻 Nice work

Goodra is awesome. Period.

anyone else think sableye should be rock ghost type?

I skipped the Goodra part because the pictures of snails and slugs you kept showing were scaring me....I have a deep, irrational fear of them. TT^TT

I feel like Ilumise and Volbeat could also be Electric Type after an alternate name for Fireflies: Lightning bugs. Plus, *Vol*beat basically has Volt in its name.

"Dinosaurs aren't dragons..." Actually, that depends on language. In Chinese, the term for "dinosaur" is 恐龙 (kǒnglóng), which literally means "fear dragon." Japanese shares the Chinese name with a different simplified character for "dragon" (恐竜; kyōryū), so there's our explanation for why dinosaurs get categorized as dragons.

When u accidently use Dragon Rage on Marill while using Charmeleon.

Inkay and Malamar might be based on horrors like Cthulhu, an ancient monster with physic powers and an octopus-like appearance. According to lore, Cthulu is located in an underwater city in the south pacific.

3:15 when i saw them i think : (maybe electric bug/flying)

You know, in many myths Leafy Sea Dragons were thought to be dragons.

Me guessing 9:10 typing Fairy grass, that gotta be it

I feel you on Inkay, I distinctly remember my first playthrough of Ultra Moon using thunderbolt on it and wondering why tf it wasn’t super effective, thinking to myself “well if it’s not water type wtf is it then?” never would’ve guessed Dark/Psychic.

Im glad you said something about beedrill

Why is Altaria a dragon tho?

nice video dude ^-^

Your other video was good. Most of them you create are very entertaining. Well said about your video, but it certainly isn't a mistake. It shows how your channel grows.

This one isnt too confusing, but i thought of it when inteleon was first revealed Inteleon is pure water, but i think it should be either water/psychic, or water/dark Psychic because its name origin contains 'intelligence', and intelligence is very closely associated with the psychic typing It is also called the 'secret agent pokemon', and dark type is sometimes linked with stealth, which is a skill that secret agents definitely need
