I personally think Ghost should be super effective against Psychic, since it was a glitch that they where not in the first place.
Actually, Gyarados (and Megados by extension) is very draconian. That is, Eastern draconian. It's in the Dragon Egg Group (and not the Flying one), and for being a wind sock, it doesn't learn a single wind-based move.While you can't really argue that Mega-Gyarados should be Flying-Type over Dragon-Type, I think that we all know it fits him better. Why Dragon-Type? Everything about his Pokédex entries screams "Dark-Type" to me, not Dragon. His design doesn't look particularly draconian, no more than regular Gyarados', anyway, and its Flying-Type has tighter ties to his design. The shape of his body, while serpent-like, is also very much the shape of a wind sock. I don't care if he has draconian features, because his very body SHAPE is that of a Flying-Type, and as such he should be changed to Flying-Type too.
Well, there's the Antikythera Mechanism. That's kind of a unique case though. Maybe Electric/Psychic?Metagross should just be pure Psychic-Type. Rock doesn't fit it. Until we get a supercomputer made out of Rock, or a robot made out of rock, it isn't good enough and doesn't fit the design.
Rhydon can use its horn to break through rocks, should it not be a Rock-type? Ferrothorn covered in a hard exterior, so Rock-type is the best second fit for it.Ferrothorn should become a Pure Grass type. Once again, absolutely NO ties to Rock-Type. In fact, it goes through rock in it's appearances, which is the opposite of what a Rock-Type should do lol.
Thank you for taking so many of my suggestions into account. One thing, though: You updated Mawile's typing in the Steel-Type Pokémon, but not in the fairies!Some type change suggestions were heeded
Don't bother trying to change mandibuzz
Granbull is based on bulldogs which were primarily used as fighting dogs and never should have been normal type in the first place
Sorry if this argument is stretching on too long, but the typings still do not make sense.your entire argument hinges around a typo, Celever. I meant to say were. secondly, never use wikipedia as if it's a credible source. thirdly, the only two(not including pure flying) other types that were suggested as replacements for dark were ground and normal.
ground: I can't even see radio(see: dude w/ IQ of 50) being able to justify giving it this typing
normal: personally this fits just about as much as pure flying which is a preferable typing
ghost: honestly at first this was just the replacement for dark but when I started retyping it was one of the few replacemt types that actually worked on it. my first argument for it was just the bones which really is an inadequate argument. for the answer we must look at why vullaby and mandibuzz are dark type in the first place. they are based on vultures and buzzards respectively which feast on dead flesh, a very morbid ordeal. it is for this very reason that ghost fits them almost as well since you can practically call them death birds. beyond this vultures also only show up when there is a carcass for them to eat so that they practically anounce death by just existing.
on the topic of granbull: one of your points is that fightining types usually aren't filled with rage. you also bring up the undispitable fact that granbull are very timid, not angry, thereby refuting this point altogether. you also bring up comparing its personality to other pokemon of the normal and fighting types. I honestly cannot think of a single pokemon from either type excluding granbull that are timid. furthermore, the only pokemon of either type that thrashes bout when startled is primeape. you bring up mammals, let's take alook at non normal type mammals that don't have something radical like flames as a part of their design(includes being humanlike).
Arcanine: a dog. not really sure why GF made hime fire instead of fighting or fairy given his influence
Ninetales: is related to canines. being based on japanes folklore not sure why it's fire
Clefable/Wigglytuff: are fairies to the max
Primeape: a pigmonkey. already went into his behavior
Houndoom: a hellhound
Mightyena: a wolf. wolves are nocturnal and generally thought of as bad as well as dark being heavily associated with strategy a lot in pokemon
I'm just gonna stop here due to time constraints but a lot of these get their typing because of trivia as well as a coincidental fact that quite a few of them are canine/caninnea(or whatever it is).
I honestly can't find any more points that your argument rests upon so it's time for me to move on.
But this is a Pokemon mod. Are you seriously suggesting that you would change every Pokemon related to death or bones to Ghost-Type given eh opportunity? Bone Club becoming Ghost-Type move. Every Pokemon who looks even slightly violent becoming Fighting-Type? It quite simply makes sense to have Mandibuzz Pure-Flying and Granbull Pure-Normal. Of course, Dark and Fairy fit the two Pokemon perfectly, but there's not opportunity for that here, so this is the next best thing.There are a lot of pokemon who shoudn't be the type they are that would get changed if this were a proper petmod such as dunsparce and flygon. The point is to use actual logic in retyping the pokemon instead of GF's trollscience
Actually, these examples prove Celever's and my point even further. Most of the Pokemon above have obvious justifications for their typings (Mightyena's a hyena, not a wolf, by the way). Granbull lacks any such justification for being a Fighting-type. Meanwhile, the facts that it was Normal-type before (which is plenty by itself), that there are a lot of Normal-type mammals, and that your own rule makes Fairy-type moves Normal mean that Normal-type is much more fitting.Arcanine: a dog. not really sure why GF made hime fire instead of fighting or fairy given his influence

not at all on any of your points. the point was almost all mammals that are actually based on something tht aren't normal are that way becuse of trivia. bulldogs having been used as fighting dogs is one such exmple of said trivia. the other point is that it has a crap ton of normal type moves. so does literally every other pokemon.Actually, these examples prove Celever's and my point even further.

Yeah that Crawdaunt logic makes sense.not at all on any of your points. the point was almost all mammals that are actually based on something tht aren't normal are that way becuse of trivia. bulldogs having been used as fighting dogs is one such exmple of said trivia. the other point is that it has a crap ton of normal type moves. so does literally every other pokemon.
it also came to my memory that I need to give my justification for mking crawdaunt bug.
crawdaunt is a crawfish pokemon. there are three secondary types you can justify on a crawfish
ground: crawfish live in swamps. nearly every water ground tyoe pokemon has something to do with a type of wetland
bug: crawfish are bugs(fun fact lobsters are arachnids)
nothing: the other crustacian pokemon are pure water
now since crawdaunt has adaptability a dual type is preferable. ground doesn't work since crawdaunt doesn't get ny grouns type moves(unless I'm mistaken) so bug it is.
like I've already said there are a lot of pokemon who should have a different type than they do. also boufflant is a buffalo.Yeah that Crawdaunt logic makes sense.
So... If you have any evidence that shows Granbull is designed off of the old "fighting" dogs as opposed to the modern type of "timid, kind" bulldog I would love to hear it! :)
Otherwise, based on Pokedex entries and things we know about Granbull already, we should assume that he is a kind, timid, MODERN bulldog.
Also, bull fighting is still very much a thing, and bear wrangling was too. Why are Tauros, Bouffalant and Ursaring Normal-Type? Both of the ablve points prove your argument moot.
And once again this is a Pokémon mod, and any modification you make should follow the rules of Pokémon, unless you change ALL Pokémon types. I don't think I can play this mod, because every time I see a Granbull or a Mandibuzz I'm just going to get annoyed at their illogical typings.like I've already said there are a lot of pokemon who should have a different type than they do. also boufflant is a buffalo.
"Trivia" means "unimportant tidbits of information". So unless you're suggesting that Hell being depicted as fiery and evil in basically all of modern society is just an unimportant tidbit of information, your point doesn't exist.not at all on any of your points. the point was almost all mammals that are actually based on something tht aren't normal are that way becuse of trivia. bulldogs having been used as fighting dogs is one such exmple of said trivia.
the other point is that it has a crap ton of normal type moves. so does literally every other pokemon.
You should read my post next time.and that your own rule makes Fairy-type moves Normal.
Lobsters aren't arachnids (arachnids aren't insects, either, but Pokemon generally ignores that). They're crustacean, you even said so in the same post. Crawdaunt gets only a single Bug-type move, as well. It loves to battle, so by your logic it should be a Fighting-type.it also came to my memory that I need to give my justification for mking crawdaunt bug.

I said crawdaunt was a crawfish (it is) which are bugs (they are) and that lobsters are arachnids as a fun fact (they are). the fun fact had nothing to do with my justification I just thought some people might find it interesting."Trivia" means "unimportant tidbits of information". So unless you're suggesting that Hell being depicted as fiery and evil in basically all of modern society is just an unimportant tidbit of information, your point doesn't exist.

I originally had this as a formulaic om until eevee suggested I make it more petmod-ish. mandibuzz would have been ghost and granbull would have been normal because of reasons. as I've already said in this post I'll be opening a poll on them (crawdaunt might happen later but not unless people really have a problem with it). there is a specific reason as well as the premise of the mod as to why I only change dark/steel/fairy types but that's a more personal reason that only certain mods know.And once again this is a Pokémon mod, and any modification you make should follow the rules of Pokémon, unless you change ALL Pokémon types.

While I'd like this change I'd like to back up type changes with flavor so I'd need some flavor for it.Regirock>Rock-Type
Registeel>Rock-type
lol
What about making Weavile an Ice/Fighting type?
Flying: 1Poll closed, I'm gonna update the title this time to see if it has any effect
Mandibuzz
Flying
Ghost/Flying
