Perhaps a Fighting type that has "Midas Touch" - Contact turns the typing of whatever it touches into "Gold", which is functionally Steel, but w/o the STAB for steal attacks...

1. Bad Zapdos is bad. That said, I want it to have a Niche. But not Zapdos's niche. Or Thunderus's.
2. If it's functionally identical, calling a spade "Turboblaze" or "totallynotaspadesuperduperability" is just dumb.

A Pokémon with the Midas Touch...I bet it'd be Steel type itself as well as Fighting, or at least look like a king when fully evolved.

With this new ability, do you think that the Pokémon would lose the STAB that they had originally? If so, I think you've just thought of a way to make a move similar to Soak or Reflect Type competitively viable.
