Dark/Electric Watchog is the one I prefer -I'd much rather see a
new Dark typing than Yet Another Crappy Pure Dark Type.
I'm OK with replacing Snatch with Sucker Punch. I went with Snatch in the first place because we've given like literally every Dark type Sucker Punch and I wanted to move away from that, but we can add Sucker Punch if other people feel it's that important.
Fearow
Flying/Steel type
+Iron Head, Brave Bird
Why:
I'm a friggin' drill! No, really. It was either that or try to stretch for Ghost typing, and however much I wanna, I can't make it work -Fearow's Pokedex entries actually focus on its
beauty, of all things, and I... I dun wan' Fearow and Pidgeot to
still be the same type!
also wait it doesn't get Brave Bird why
Ditto
Ghost type
+
No
Why: The only type that has a strong propensity for metamorphic behavior other than Poison, and Ditto isn't toxic. (In fact, the manga has one character wear a Ditto as a metamorphic mask!)
Swablu
Fairy/Flying type
+Play Rough, Misty Terrain
Why: Cute fluffy thing obsessed with cleaning everything whose Mega Evolution is, in fact, Fairy/Dragon. What else would it be? And regular Altaria actually gets
use out of Misty Terrain's Dragon reduction -it lets it weaken enemy grounded Dragons like Garchomp while being unaffected itself. (Yes this is ridiculously niche and nobody will actually care)
Endeavor
Fighting type
Why:
Daredevil, in the Japanese. What type loves to task risks for the sake of doing so? The Fighting type!
Flail
Dark type
Why: Desperate flailing. Kind of hard to find a type for it, really, though I was tempted by Dragon.
Techno Blast
Steel type
Why: All the Special Steel type moves other than Doom Desire are firing off light in some form or another. Genesect is supposedly equipped with a "photon cannon". What are photons? LIGHT. So, Steel. Also because Genesect might actually use it at that point.
Uproar
Dragon type
Why: HEAR ME ROAR SO OBNOXIOUSLY LOUDLY YOU CAN'T SLEEP. Arguably it
should be Fairy -it's heavily associated with baby Pokemon- but I really like the idea of Dragon type Uproar, it fits in its own way. And nobody will care, because nobody runs Uproar.
Accupressure
Bug type
Why: Pushing pressure points with pointed claws... found fairly commonly on Bugs... Bug type!
Entrainment
Fairy type
Why: "Befriend" or some such in Japanese. FRIENDSHIP TYPE GO!
Yawn
Fairy type
Why: Yawns are "cute", including that Yawn is found on a lot of baby Pokemon and not their later stages.
Wish
Fairy type
Why: I honestly don't understand why it wasn't re-typed to Fairy in the first place. They re-typed Charm, so it's not like Status moves were considered pointless to re-type!
What would you like to do along with retyping moves for the next weeks? The Pokemon will have run out, so, what would you like to do?
Well, this might be the time to implement the "hey do we really want X Pokemon with Y type?" idea discussed prior. Nothing else comes to mind.
If I'm missing a few Normal Pokemon, please tell me, but I'm pretty sure there's really only 6 left including this week's, fully-evolved Pokemon and Normals-Who-Evolve-Into-Non-Normals.
All I'm finding that hasn't been covered/isn't in this slate is Azurill/Fletchling/Fletchinder, barring the stages we haven't covered explicitly. Which does offer a few legitimate questions: Porygon could take a cue from Porygon2, but whether that cue would be to be the same typing exactly or
just Electric type is an open question. That's another thing we could address: the remaining not-explicitly-addressed-previous-stages.
