What pokemon have been given the wrong typing by GF.
e.g GYRADOS:Water/Flying Should be Water/dragon because it looks like a dragon, learns dragon moves and can't fly because it has no wings. FLYGON:Dragon/Ground Obviously a prime candidate for the first Dragon/Bug type.Its a DRAGONfly! Ground wtf Gardevoir: psychic should be psychic/grass you just have to read its name Great ideas Also dragon/fighting haxorus and water/rock blastoise water/electric eelectross steel/fighting bisharp steel/bug shelmet rock/dragon druddigon grass/water maractus fighting/rock conkeldurr fighting/steel gurdurr grass/flying cottonee ghost/dark banette grass/poison cacnea electric/normal minun/plusle grass/flying grovyle water/flying lugia water/poison octillery or water/dark octillery grass/fire sunflora rock/grass sudowoodo dark/water feraligator poison/dragon arbok thats all i can think of any one else have ideas? Thanks for the advice. I agree that thread is similar but it is discussing an idea for a new metagame which this thread is not. Oops accidently forgot the most obvious typing change in the game.

I don't think Water/Dragon would have been too broken. Even with no weakness, you'd still be able to overwhelm Gyarados with something like Gengar or Snorlax.

Water/Dragon Lapras. Good riddance to the Stealth Rock weakness, or the vulnerability to Rock/Fighting moves. May see more usage with its awesome movepool. Besides, Lapras looks more Dragon-y than Icy.

Didn't we have this exact same thread less than two weeks ago?
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4477984 Sure, it's in another subforum, but I'd expect that at least somebody would take notice and move discussion over there. Quote:

Also, take note of the "Edit" button at the bottom right of your posts. If you have anything more to add to your last statement, and nobody have posted after you, edit your last post instead of making a new one. As you notice by scrolling through a topic, a post takes up a lot more space than the words in it. It's annoying to read several posts with very little content in a row, especially if they are by the same member.
Sorry if it seems like I'm bashing you, but I'd also like to see a reasoning for your suggestion for retypes. Don't just throw them out, write a sentence or two on why you want, for instance, Sunflora to be part Fire type. It makes the post a lot more interesting to read, and a proper discussion attracts more replies. For instance (shamelessly copying from the thread I posted):  Luxray - Electric/Dark. It's a carnivore. It's mostly black. It's repeatedly stated to be extremely vicious when fighting. It learns Crunch, Thief and Snarl, and can be bred for Night Slash. And it's an extremely cool 'mon. Being Dark wouldn't help it much competitively, but it would certainly help its reputation. Last edited by Cobraroll; Dec 3rd, 2012 at 7:18:23 AM. Reason: Poor choice of words fixed. |

Lugia123007 : I disagree on almost everything. Also, make better posts please :)
Aerodactyl should have been Rock / Dragon for me .... Keeps Ice weakness, but lose Rock, Electric & Water weaknesses Yanmega or Flygon should have Dragon / Bug Pokemon ... And Tinted Lens for the win ! Serperior should obviously get Dragon type too. |

 I made this a while ago, but I must say that Druddigon looks much better as a rock type... Anyway, Porygon Line would make a lot more sense as Electric, Steel, or Psychic types. Cofagrigus as Ghost/Ground or Ghost/Steel to be more coffinlike. Pyschic/Dark on the Gothita line for a much more gothic feel. Water/Steel Blastoise to compliment those massive cannons. Bug/Dark on Accelgor and Ninjask to reflect the ninja themed designs. Water/Rock Cloyster line, it's much more shell-like. Poison/Fire Weezing, it is a bomb after all...

Bug/Steel Shelmet does make some sense considering the same armor is what makes Escavalier a steel-type.

I think...
 should be Rock/fire or psychic/fire, wichcever you guys think suits it best! :D Lunatone should be either Dark/Psychic, or Dark/Rock, with the type that isn't Dark on Lunatone or Fire on Solrock the same.This is quite simply because Solrock, is the sun, and the sun is a ball of fire. (Burning gases creating fire.) I always used to get confused in Colosseum and XD about Solrock. Lunatone is the moon, which is visible at night, night is when darkness comes. Simple.

Glalie should be Dark type. I've been talking about this since before we ever knew about Froslass, so it's not just a counterparts thing.
The japanese name likely puns on: onigiri (riceballs, which it does resemble in colorscheme and vague shape) and more importantly Oni (you know...demons and junk) thus the horns. Its disposition is mean Its design is based around mean The behavior of "leisurely eating" its still-alive-but-frozen foe is kinda jerkish Adding a dark type on it wouldn't help it much but I think it'd fit well enough. |

I don't know why, But I always thought Dratini/Dragonair should be dragon/water. Maybe it's because they remind me a bit of sea serepents.

There's a few new generation Pokčmon I was disappointed by.
 Why wasn't this thing Psychic/Dark or Psychic/Ghost? Really seems like a waste.  This thing really should have been Bug/Dark to fit with the ninja theme  With all it's Special Electric moves, I don't see why this thing isn't Steel/Electric.  It specializes in healing things...why not Water/Psychic? Or even Water/Normal? |

I always figured that Groudon should be a Fire-type (or Fire/Ground) back when I played Ruby. It's much better as a Ground-type, but something that summons permanent sun should at least be able to use it to boost STAB moves.
Azumarill should be Water/Fighting. It has Huge Power, but it's a Water-type, which is usually something synonymous with bulky instead of powerful. There are occasions where something is solely Water-type and has offensive capabilities that generally work better than defensive play (Kyogre, Samurott, the useless-in-Ubers Manaphy) many common mono-Water monsters work better either walling or supporting. Most powerful offensive Water-types have a secondary typing (Keldeo, Cloyster, Palkia, Rotom-W) that helps them with their offensive capabilities. On top of that, Huge Power boosts regular Attack, which is something that's commonly associated with Fighting-types. |

But really, I just wanted to say how great it is that someone else things Weezing should be poison/fire(or at least have a +fire evo). I've also always thought Tropius should lose those wings and be Grass/Fire, because if nothing else, there REALLY needs to be a grass/fire type already.

While sometimes it would be good to change the type for proper reasons, you were really "scraping the barrel" for those typings. Girafarig learns sap sipper, he shouldn't be grass! Neither should miltank! I could do a very, very long thing about abilities and egg groups (armaldo needs to be water btw) but I'm frankly not bothered. Shiftry flies from branch to branch as well. Turtwig learns a water type move. Another thing that was annoying though was how you would regularly change typing within one evolutionary line. Say gurdurr is fight/steel, and conkeldurr fight/rock. Fight/steel is more appealing to me than fight/rock (You got the bulk and the brawn, whereas conkeldurr would be all out attacking) but gurdurr misses out on the typing for the extra power! D: Also, Octillery intrigues me. Nothing about being an octopus screams poison or dark, and he has such amazing coverage that it can't be moves, and it isn't ability. Why did you pick those 2 types?

   '______' = my face when GameFreak makes third Fire/Fighting starter line in a row Seriously, upon seeing Tepig for the first time I was strongly expecting that its evolutions would be Fire/Ground. It makes perfect sense flavour-wise given that it's a pig after all, and it's even fairly interesting competitively as well. I thought two Fire/Fighting starters would was quite sufficient, but oh no... |

Yanmega: Bug/Dragon (with dragon pulse, draco, etc)
Staraptor: Flying/Fighting Braviary: Flying/Fighting Pinsir: Bug/Dark (sucker punch, pursuit, night slash, etc) Vespiquen: Bug/Dark with Levitate (sucker punch, taunt, memento, etc) Meganium: Grass/Psychic (Psychic/shock, etc) And one more that doesn't make much sense flavor wise but would be awesome competitively: Arcanine: Fire/Normal (because of Extremespeed)
