I have a feeling I'm really gonna like the Grass/Steel spike Pokemon. Hopefully it'll get Spikes AND Leech Seed. Omg, that'd be so awesome.
Infact it looks like it can explode. So it might even get explosion and toxic spikes. So pretty much if it is Grass/Steel it will have Leech Seed, Sleep Powder, Explosion, Spikes and Toxic Spikes. That's what I call support =D
zamn. that things gonna annoy the hell out of me.
Melkor said Grass/Steel is a spike ball and it´s evo a tentacle ball, in short. The Fire/Ghost is said to be a candle. No pics, tough.
EDIT Ninja...
Someone mentioned it earlier; it seems like they are taking generic, old designs and reinvigorating them with new ones.
I'm actually really glad GF is widening the range of those specific types, as they've all been pretty limited in choice.
Ghosts have only been paired with Poison, Flying, Electric, Ice, three of which were only added last generation.
Dark were paired with Rock, Flying, Fire, Grass, Water, Poison. Not too shabby, but could use some more variety.
And don't even get me started on Dragons.
And is that good? Personally they could have done that with branch off evolutions instead of recycling pokemon. Doesn't really feel new when they do that...
Since Cross Thunder and Cross Fire become more powerful when they're used after each other, how viable is a dual scarf combination in doubles? Or perhaps triples with a Follow Me user? We also don't know how Turbo Blaze and Terra Voltage work, and they could work like a previous rumor said and increase the power of Fire and Electric attacks when those types are used, making that strategy a lot more scary.
I don't know, there hasn't really been that many Ghosts revealed so far.
Dark needed some more anyway as did Dragon.
Holy wow grass/steel works well together.

I hope Grass/Steel gets good stats. Amazing type. That thing is an amazing water type wall (and more water type walls are needed). Resists water, neutral to ice, imune to poison (Toxic), neutral to ground (Swampert and Friends), it shuts down Ludicolo and send him in a box to Hoenn, the best Gyarados have is a neutral Earthquake. Water types may need Hidden Power Fire or Fight, with the risk of being walled by other water types then. Poliwrath may fear its grass moves as it is only 2x weak to fight.
If the Grass/Steel gets godly Support abilites hes going on my Steel/Rock team.
Woah, now that´s a nice list of resistances O.O. Too bad that both Steel and Grass aren´t good at dealing damage. Setup bait? Not sure, I´m not that good with battling.

Why. Couldn't. They. Give. Grass. Slash. Steel. To. Tsutaja.
If half of the crap Melkor is giving us is true, I'll definitely be boxing my starter and kicking ass with Denchula / Ice Cream / Meguroku / Afrobull / Version Fossil / Rankurusu. No sweaty pig wrestlers or unicorns required.
