Typing: The Mod

[Samtendo09]

I dunno, maybe I'm just not a fan of the types and/or chartage that is winning of late and feel a bit powerless to make the meaningful (at least in my opinion) changes I want to see. If you guys want me to leave, I'll understand.

I feel like you are a bit demending atm. We will eventually get a Type that would be strong against Dark like you wanted. It is your choice to leave or not, but right now I have a feeling that you are a bit overbearing at the moment. You need to calm down, as each Type have their own potentials if there is enough difference from other existing Types, and they do not need to be a frequent coverage Type either, as some can work very well as STAB (Normal, Dragon and Space comes to mind).

 

[Jpixelcube]

And you wouldn't want to retype them to Chaos would you? My point is, can we move away from the morality and more abstract types for a bit?

It's a bit too late for that when we literally have an evil type in the base game. One that can be any nature.

 

[Samtendo09]

It's a bit too late for that when we literally have an evil type in the base game. One that can be any nature.

Be it abstract, morality, physical, mythical or elemental, any Type can work if they give enough variety and will not gut too much of the same type. Grass-type involves nature in general which includes Solar Beam, Wood Hammer and Synthesis, so Wood-type must be put more effort to stand out from Grass-type. There is reasons why Ground and Rock types stood out, as Ground is much more earth-based and sand-based, while Rock is more about stones and jewels.

 

[Samtendo09]

Hate to double post but I want to leave a last note before tomorrow when Gravity Monkey is "supposedly" coming back...

I don't mind if Light-type would not win the next slate. I would not mind if there would be some controversy over Chaos, Fae or even Wood. What I would mind, though, is argument over something that already happened.

I also want to remind everyone that whatever the next winning Type would be, there would be always a Pokemon line or two with mediocre BST (unless they have a strong Mega like Mawile), so be sure to buff a few stats to a more reasonable and functional level for those who suffers low BST, or at least mark those with low BST in your Type submission (lower than 500 would do it) so that I can give them from a slight to good BST increase while also giving them the appropriate retyping. There is a reason why my Solrock and Lunatone as Space/Rock won as they included much more functional stats, cause if I didn't, they might still struggle to have a niche.

Official Edit

Gravity Monkey should come back here today from his vacation. Haven't he comeback this day, I will open the "Next Type Submission" slate, no new restrictions or anything.

OH! Of course. I already contributed though, but we can have one more person to do the distribution (copy-paste for 1) is acceptable). Can't wait to see what Type will win and which we will going to build up next, even if it is something like Wood or Rubber!

Slate #7 is opening really soon, stay tuned!

 

[Dilasc]

How about a slate where types that havent been suggested yet are the options. Otherwise, everyone is resuggesting the same types until they eventually run out of competition and win.

There’s gotta be a way to shake up this slate other than go nuts.

Slate #7 (No Need For Resubs) - Concept phase

Welcome in the seventh slate of Typing: The Mod, and the fourth new typing slate! As you can read with this title, when we will go in voting slate, every typing already submitted in the past three slate will be eligible. That means that resubs are unnecessary, but if you want to add even more to your past submissions, you can do a resub. Because of this, this concept phase will only last for 3 days. If you have any brand new ideas, post your ideas as fast as you can!

If you are wondering, I will quote the last submission done for every typing submitted in the voting phase post.

With that in mind, let's get started!

 

[Jpixelcube]

Well, I already talked about this, but now it's time to unveil my
(Just saw Samtendo's sub and i decided to do a bit more as well)
HERO Type!
AKA the "please don't make light a good-type" type. All about being a hero and protecting others, as opposed to fighting's just pure fighting skill. Either by Pokedex Entry (Absol), Origin (Infernape), Or just general design and actions of the pokemon (Lucario), These pokemon just have a protective or heroic streak to them.


Potential Effectiveness
The Hero Type is made to be a counterpart for Evil-type, but that doesn't mean that it'll be super good against it. on the Contrary, I think that Counterparts have to be, well, a dangerous thing to fight against. So, here's how the potential will be.

Offensive:
x2: Dark (Heroes can easily turn evil into Heroes), Dragon (most Stories have heroes fighting dragons and winning), Ghost (Heroes are normally unafraid and able to face their fears, which fear is best represented with Ghost-type), Psychic (Heroes can usually beat even the smartest person due to pure will)
x.5: Normal (Heroes protect normal people, not fight them), Fairy (Fairies usually give heroes their power in fairy tales), Heart (Those with powerful hearts can influence a hero)

Defensive:
x2: Dark (while Heroes can turn evil good, Evil can do the same to good.), Heart (See above), Fighting (A stronger fighter can overpower even a hero in some cases), Time (Heroes can't live forever.)
x.5: Dragon (See above), Ghost (See above), Normal (While heroes do not fight normal people, normal people usually have no chance at overpowering a hero as well.)

As for the power of this type, well..... Not too sure. This is still a work-in-progress type chart myself. Kind-of worried it's a bit too close to fairy ATM.
Potential Retypes

And

: Dark -> Hero
They are most known for going to warn people of danger, and doing so even though people hate them. Changing them to Pure Hero because Dark-type doesn't fit them. Honestly I'd think Absol is the posterboy of the Hero-type, more than Lucario.

and

: Fighting/Steel -> Fighting/Hero
I don't think they need too much of an explanation, as they are constantly seen as heroes in most of the work that depicts them. Changing Steel because it's the type that fits the least on them. Unfortunately, with the above matchup, that gives them a massive weakness to Fairy.

: Fire/Fighting -> Fire/Hero
He's based on Sun Wukong. Heck, his fighting style seems to even be based on sun Wukong's. I'm not changing Monferno because he fits more as fighting than hero, But if Decidueye can switch from flying to ghost, I think infernape can switch from fighting to hero. Feel free to disagree with me on this one though, This is probably one of my weaker changes.

and

: Fighting | Fighting/Dark -> Hero | Hero/Dark
Pangoro protects people from bullies, albiet by beating them up as well. I think it's enough for him to be the hero-type, but again, you can disagree with me on this.

And here's the one I think that is the most controversial.

,

,

, and

: Fairy -> Hero
As the guardians of Alola, we even see them protect the world from the Ultra-Beasts when they appeared. I think they make a lot of sense as Hero-type. This will replace all of their fairy types, because it A. keeps them diverse type-wise, and B. I think the fact that they were guardians were the reason they were fairy-type. I'd add more, but these are just the ones I think right now fit the best message I want to go for in the Hero-type.
How not to pick pokemon for hero-type
Pokemon That Have No reason to be Hero-type as another type already is submitted for them.

: Yes, he fights the "Darkness", but from how he fights it by using reflective light on his scales, this fits more for Light-type or Sound-type.

: Using keldeo as the example for all the swords (And Chestnaught too), yes, they are heroic. But I think the Noble-type fits them more as they are noble swords. We could do a Hero/Noble type for all of them (Except Chestnaught, obviously), But that would lessen their Diversity, so I think Noble-type fits best for them.
Retyped Moves
Honestly, if I talk about retyped moves, the only one I can see for now is Superpower, but that's because i've been a bit more focused on other aspects, like which pokemon fit as hero-type. There are probably a lot of moves i'm missing, so I'll look further into it and try to find some more later.
Edit: After thinking about it for a bit, I do want to turn Wide Guard into a hero-type move. Why? Because it seems to fit with one of my main Ideals of what Hero-type should be: Protecting others. If you don't know, wide guard is a protect move that allows you to protect your teammate as well. Things like Wish or other moves that seem to help others should also likely be hero-type.

 

[Samtendo09]

(I know that we do not need to re-sub, but I want to update my past submission here does to a few candidates having Space-type, and shorten the first part of it a bit.)

Light

Unlike Dark-type, we live up to our name and will not give a shifting light about morality.
​

Light-type had been used to be a popular fan type concept along fans, commonly used as a counterpart to Dark-type. Ever since Fairy-type is introduced, which does have a few associations with light, some people think that a Light-type would be redundant, and some would even goes calling out Light-type as a potential cliche type does to so many fan concepts using Light-type full of holiness and all goodness just in order to make contrast of Dark-type.

But in reality, this is not what Light-type should be about in order to stand out; Light-type, to live up to its name, must be the Light Element of the (both official and fan-made) Pokemon types, with Ghost-type serving as the closest of actual darkness (or if Light-type would win, even a "Shadow" type which is genuinely actual darkness).

Now we know that Fairy have illumination as attacks, but instead of straight-up separate some of Fairy aspect, there are other associated objects that are not Fairy but produces light; sun (which makes Fire/Light) and stars (although those are more Space-type), bulbs, aurora, bio-luminescence, photo-luminescence (which is photon), and even lasers and beams (what else could you make lasers other than dark-elemental lasers? Light).

Physical Moves can also be done with hard light from fictions, so Light-type will not have lack of physical attackers either. This means that yes, we can have Ledian to be Bug/Light while having its stats to become it is supposed to be; a physical attacker.

Now, here's one thing I (and a few good fellow users like Jpixelcube) did not wanted is to make Light-type a direct counterpart of Dark-type (aka Evil-type), so we won't make Light-type a "Good-type", but instead a real element like some few elemental types such as Fire, Ice, Electric and Water are. We will leave it to Noble-type and Hero-type.

The biggest difference between Light and Fairy here is that Fairy isn't fully associated with Light, as Fairy moves are associated with moons to an extent, and also cute attacks (Play Rough, Draining Kiss). Light is all about light as an element, thus illumination, brightness and hard light. And unlike Steel, Light does not need to be "solid" (but can do so in fiction a la hard light) and Steel-type's main method of attack are metallic moves, not reflecting light. And not all Bug-type can learn Tail Glow, and not all Tail Glow users are Bug-type.

Finally, Light is different from Fire and Electric unlike people try to convince the opposing statement, as Fire and Electric themselves produce light, but not all Electric-type and Fire-type can use Dazzling Gleam (light-based attack) and Flash. Fire and Electric obviously also have much more utilities than light up places and aren't the only way to make light (Stars are not fire but burning plasma), while Light is used for photosynthesis... and can be used to make the world's deadliest lasers.

Potential Effectiveness​

Light's archetype will be double-edged like real life light; if handled right, it will greatly help you out, but abusing it or expecting it to be harmless while it really is harmful will greatly backfire. Thus, Light should be more on offense (moreso than Dark-type) in term of Type Chart, but also have a good amount of defensive effectiveness (hence Shiinotic for example). Stat-wise, they should be various enough, similarly to Water-type, as light can be used for various purposes (up to being used as a killing laser!) similarly to the latter Type, but fast Light-type tend to be pretty fast, as light in real life is faster than even a lighting bolt (hence the light-year measure, which indicate how many years the light can reach).

Offense Example:

• 
  (2x): Unlike Fairy, light can hurt fictional ghosts as ghosts are associated with darkness to some extent, thus need to stay away from sunlight and other intense light sources to stay alive.
• 
  (2x): Light speed is superior to electric speed.
• 
  (2x): Not even those who wears sunglasses should stare too nearby at any light sources for too long, especially with the sun (and not because of the heat in this case).
• 
  (2x): Flying objects, especially those flying over the clouds, are always exposed to the sun, thus the only way for them to avoid a sudden strike of light is to ride under the cloud. If Flying means both birds and wind, light is always faster than wind will ever be.
• 
  (0.5x): Water, or at least a large enough pond of water, can make reflection similarly to mirror, thus can reflect light (but not completely, hence not immune to).
• 
  (0.5x): Sunlight actually benefit the plants does to their capacity to do photosynthesis.
• 
  (0.5x): Ice can be used to reflect or gently absorb light. The sunlight alone cannot melt ice during the winter season.
• 
  (0.5x): Ground can block the light from the sun, hence why anything under the main ground layer is completely dark without holes. That does not mean that Ground should be SE against Light, as it cannot reflect light at all.

Defense Example:

• 
  (Resist): There are not many major villains who are using light as an element by themselves, be them be a darkness wielder or not. Light as an element is not always an evil killer.
• 
  (Resist): Have you ever tried to kill light with light? Not possible in real life.
• 
  (Resist): Fairies are associated with light, and are not known to actively make light go away.
• 
  (Resist): Fire makes light, so I don't see why a being made of light would be harmed from fire other than excessive heat (hence not immune).
• 
  (Resist): Same reason with Fire, but also for reason in Offense example.
• 
  (Resist): A good amount light sources can last for a long time, especially the stars. Stopping time will only cause the source of light to keep existing, unless you stopped time right before they turned on (but you can never turn off the stars for good reasons).
• 
  (Resist): I only see a few fictional ghosts capable of manipulating lights, less so as attacks. I think that since they are vulnerable to it, they should not try to get too near them, otherwise attempting to use light energy will cause strain.
• 
  (Vulnerable): Photosynthesis. Why else? (We also need to buff Grass' offensive presence, and Light-type as an element will be a perfect Type Grass will be strong against.)
• 
  (Vulnerable): Metal can be used to reflect light, but Steel should only receive Neutral damage does to having a metallic armor will make you easier to detect does to the shining effect.
• 
  (Vulnerable): The sea minimize the brightness effect from the sun, thus explains why the deeper we get to the ocean, the darker it gets. Water can be used to short sircuit electric lamps and flashlights (well, those that aren't waterproof).

Potential Pokémon​

Light-type Pokémon would be those who uses illumination and brightness. Not all Fire-type, Electric-type and Fairy-type will be part Light-type; they had to bright much more than mere flame, electricity and pixie dust, respectively, to be compatible of Light-type (though nothing stop them from learning Light attacks).

The behavior in general? Like Water-type, there is no general behavior you could expect from Light-type, but like Fairy-type, humans would assume they are all nice and good. Some of the potential Light-type would be, but not all; some like Xurkitree and Groudon are aggressive, and Shiinotic uses light to misguide their prey.

Notice that being a physical or special oriented Pokémon will not matter when receiving the Light-type; in fact, Kanto Raichu (with buffed stats) can be a more physical counterpart to Alolan Raichu (who would also receive stat buff for equality between forms).

Potentially Retyped Pokémon

Raichu line (not Alolan Raichu): Light Orb for Pikachu.

Ledian line: According to Emerald Pokedex; "It is said that in lands with clean air, where the stars fill the sky, there live many Ledian. For good reason, they use the light of the stars as energy." Replace Flying.

Ampharos line (Not Mega Ampharos): Their tail can emit light, similar to the Light Orb item.

or just

Espeon: Heavily associated with sun.

Lanturn line: Have Illuminate as an Ability, can use Spotlight, and anglers do produce light in real life. Replace Electric.

Bellossom: It lacked secondary typing and it is associated with sunlight and Sun Stone, so why not?

Sunflora (not Sunkern): It is a sunflower, have Solar Power (not all Solar Power users are Grass-type to inform you) and have Morning Sun as Egg Move.

Ho-Oh: Its called the Rainbow Pokémon according to the Pokédex and let out shiny light as it flies.

Beautifly: Colorful wings, able to use Morning Sun as level-up move.

Volbeat: Have illuminate, can use Tail Glow and can use Flash.

Tropius: All of its Abilities will work under sunlight. I feel like another Grass/Light would be redundant, so making it

and give it a Grass-type signature move that deals 1.5x damage when used by Tropius (essentially a third STAB).

Glalie (Mega included): Big chunk of ice can reflect light. (

/

)

Cherrim line: Heavily associated with sunlight does to Flower Gift.

Lumineon (not Finneon): Just the name doesn't seems enough, but it can also learns both Aurora Beam and Signal Beam, and I consider beams, unless if it is strictly elemental like Ice Beam, as light-based attacks.

Phione: Might be able to reflect light well does to being mostly composed of water. Also helps it to stand out more from Manaphy with some other reasonable buffs.

(NOT

, see below for the reason.)
Watchhog: Have Illuminate for some reason. It can also learn Signal Beam. And since Illuminate will be an obvious Light-type -ate Ability, keeping Normal-type will not do any good since Illuminate (like all good -ate Abilities) always turn Normal-type moves regardless if the user is Normal-type or not. It would also make one unique single typed Light-type Pokémon too!

Lilligant line: Same with the likes of Bellosom and Sunflora line.

Cryogonal: Its a giant snowflake made of reflective ice and can learn Confuse Ray, Aurora Beam and... Solar Beam!?

Heliolisk line: Large association with solar energy.

(+

)

Florges line: Difficult to reason with that, but Floette-Eternal have a signature move called Light of Ruin. It also got multiple moves that associate with light such as Synthesis and Flash.

Xerneas: It can naturally learn Aurora Beam, have Synthesis as an available move and Geomancy is rainbow-colored than typical pink fairy light.

Shiinotic line: Have Illuminate as an Ability, have Flash as an Move and can use Signal Beam, which looks more Light-type than Bug-type.

Kommo-o line (minus Jangmo-o): Uses reflective light using their scales. Kommo-o would be potentially the first fully evolved Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon to have a T:TM Type.

Xurkitree: Can naturally learn Tail Glow and is something that can illuminate.

|

|

|

Necrozma (all Forms): To respectfully quote Pika Extreme: " [...] Necrozma should be Light-type in all forms, because it is literally a being that, at core, is composed of light." Indeed, Necrozma by itself can be one of the best reasons why Light-type (element) is a great potential. Necrozma can retain its new Space-type to become Light/Space, but the other, more powerful forms should get rid of Space-type by Light in order for each forms to stand out more from Solgaleo, Lunala and Palkia (+ Mega Lati@s), respectively. Can I say that Dawn Wings Necrozma's typing would be especially interesting, considering that Ghost-type is not a known type to actively use Light?

It also missed the opportunity to have Photon Geyser (+ the Z-Move, Light that Burns the Sky) and Prismatic Laser to become Space-type and as a result, they remained Psychic, depriving the STAB for poor Necrozma. Plus Light-type would honestly fit more than Space-type for those two moves.​

What does NOT make a Light-type​

Here are the conditions that should be avoided to avoid misconception of what I am aiming for: Light-type as an element, not a moral-based Type, and also because the reasoning below would be too weak to deserve Light-type. This is more of a recommendation and not a full-on restriction, and I will be okay if you have different opinion as in if those in the list can have Light-type (but only for good reasons).

List of Pokemon that SHOULD NOT be a Light-type

Pokémon that can use the move Dazzling Gleam but have no strong association with light unlike the above list SHOULD NOT be Light-type.
Dazzling Gleam may be a potential Light-type, but that does not guarentee all Poémon line that uses this move to be Light-type. They need to have an actual association with light, illumination or other light-based stuff at some point. (Phione is okay since its body is made of water thus can reflect to light.)

Pokémon with heroic intention or have nobleness and royalty SHOULD NOT be Light-type.
Although holiness are associated with light in several fictions, we should avoid that to avoid the anti-Taoism that is "Good Light vs Evil Darkness". Same for nobleness, and royalty, be it good-looking, wears colorful clothing or using light, can be actually evil and corrupt (but not always). This is the Noble-type you are dealing with. That said, they can still be eligible to get Light-type moves, or at least paladin-themed ones.

Pokémon that have Drought, as in can summon the Sun SHOULDN'T be Light-type.
Even if Mega Charizard Y, Ninetales, Torkoal and Groudon have Drought, Sunny Day is a Fire-type weather and we will not change that. Even if the sun is, in reality, a burning plasma and not actual flame, the Sunny Day condition had been already associated with Fire-type, especially because of the Fire-type damage boost and the appropriate heat it gives to the Earth.

Pokémon whose beige/have colors that have light and its Alolan counterpart is Dark-type/have Dark-type WILL NOT be Light-type at all.
Flimsy excuse here, as even if Kanto Persian line have an eye for shiny objects, those two lines doesn't have enough justifications to have Light-type. Plus reminder that Dark-type is "Evil-type" in Japan, so their Alolan Counterparts as Dark-type is not a good excuse here either.

Pokémon that can heal allies SHOULD NOT be Light-type.
Although healers have an association with light, not only we already have a Type involving healing (and hearts) called Heart here, but using Light as a major healing type will also limit the actual, elemental Light-type potentials.

Pokémon that have are known to be fast and have a Base Speed higher than 120 alone SHOULD NOT be Light-type.
Light is infernally fast, faster than lightning, faster than sound, with only the universe itself outspeeding the light. But being just very fast (and doesn't use shadow) is not enough to be qualified to be Light-type. Extreme Speed is another thing that does not count, as its Japanese name is "Swiftness", not light speed or similar name.

Special Cases (that doesn't fully deserve Light-type)
​

Mega Aggron: Aside of a flashy white armor, Mega Aggron doesn't have anything that can illuminate (outside of Flash Cannon and Metal Burst, both of which is Steel-type like Mega Aggron).

Reshiram: Despite being part of the "Tao Trio" (Reshiram the light (yin), Zekrom the darkness/shadow (yang), and Kyurem lacking both (the wuji), I don't see other, more valid reason why Reshiram would be valid for Light-type, as it already fit Fire-type even more (up to Turboblaze) and can't even learn Dazzling Gleam (a Light-type compatible move).

Kadabra and Alakazam (+ Mega): The two use their spoons for psychic power and to bend them, not for illumination of any sort.

Butterfree: Unlike Beautifly, Butterfree lacked Morning Sun and its design is less colorful (not that its bad) compared to the other.

That said, you have the right to convince me otherwise, though preferably they had to get enough association with light element or seems to be able to use them.​

Potential Retyped Moves​

• Flash
• Spotlight
• Hyper Beam
• Confuse Ray (notice; even if it is Ghost-type, it is not restricted to the latter type in term of distribution. In fact, Pokémon with illumination can use it.)
• Light of Ruin (possibly moved for signature move of another and released Pokémon)
• Photon Geyser (and Ultra Necrozma's Light That Burns the Sky)
• Prismatic Laser
• Flash Cannon (make Magnet Bomb a Aura Sphere clone will do it anyways)
• Morning Sun
• Dazzling Gleam
• Aurora Beam (maybe also STAB for Ice?)
• Signal Beam
• Laser Focus
• Simple Beam
• Perhaps Light clones of Solar Beam and Solar Blade too.

Time to score another typing win.

Monster Typing
​

If there is a dragon typing, how is there not a Monster one? Now before you freak, there are lots of Pokemon whose typing looks seemingly slapped on just because, and thanks to the Monster egg group, we have a fair description of what's what

Excerpt from Bulbapedia

In terms of general body shape, most appear to be bipedal, although quadrupedal forms are common as well. Many also possess a large tail which may aid in balance and some possess claws on their limbs. Most of them are also partially reptilian, superficially resembling dinosaurs. Mammalian forms are also present.

Potential Pokemon*

Tyranitar - Rock/Monster (It's based on Godzilla for Pete's sake)
Lapras - Water/Monster (Loch Ness Monster)
Guzzlord - Dark/Monster (There is no draconian features present, and it looks like a eating monster)
Nidoking/queen - Poison/Monster (Literally nothing about them says Ground)
Mega Garchomp - Dragon/Monster
Mega Steelix - Steel/Monster
Feraligatr - Water/Monster
Emboar - Fire/Monster
Kangaskhan - Heart/Monster
Munchlax line - Normal/Monster
Lickitung - Monster
Aron line - Steel/Monster
Cranidos line - Rock/Monster (Primal Time/Monster)
Eeliktrik/Eelektross - Electric/Monster
Inkay line - Monster/Psychic (based on the sea monster known as the kraken)
Druddigon - Dragon/Monster
Bergmite line - Ice/Monster

Potential Match-up*

Offensive
x2 - Psychic, Space, Steel, Heart
x1/2 Fighting [Please swap out for Noble/Hero if either wins], Dragon, Ground, Fire
x0 nil

Defensive
x2 - Fighting (See above), Fire, Dragon
x1/2 Dark, Psychic, Ghost, Bug, Normal
x0 nil

The monster typing is based upon Kaiju, traditional legendary monsters and monstrous things in general. Many Pokemon are based on Kaiju, so Monster as a typing has precedence.

Chikorita line is already Grass/Heart, and Kangaskhan is pure Heart.

 

[Jpixelcube]

By the way, if anyone has some helpful ideas for the Hero-type matchup, please tell me because I'm not too sure how I like this matchup RN.

 

[G-Luke]

Chikorita line is already Grass/Heart, and Kangaskhan is pure Heart.

Kangaskhan pure Heart Huh?

 

[Samtendo09]

Kangaskhan pure Heart Huh?

Yeah, this means Heart/Monster in this case if Monster wins.

That would potentially make another Pokémon with a typr combination with only Typing: The Mod types since Time/Space Unown.

: Yes, he fights the "Darkness", but from how he fights it by using reflective light on his scales, this fits more for Light-type.

Oh man, I did not thought about Kommo-o's line scales being able to reflect light! Thanks for reminding this, I'll add the Kommo-o line for my post.

Sound
(3rd Chime's the Tarm)

There are many Pokemon already based off of sound, which is portrayed with Pokemon based off of instruments, or noise itself. This has already been popular for a very long time along with types like Light, but its odd to me how nobody is submitting it. Sound could be a far as a living bell, or just a Pokemon who sings. Now, although every Sound-based move makes sound, that doesn't mean they all need to be Sound type.

Possible Retyped Pokemon:

Whismur/Loudred/Exploud are based on sound waves and basically yelling in general.

Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff are based around singing, with Jigglypuff notable in the anime using Sing.

Chatot being based on a parrot are known for repetition of human speech, and its signature move is Chatter.

Meloetta is based around Music in general

Chingling and Chimecho are based off of bells.

See Meloetta-Aria

Noibat/Noivern being part bat use Echolocation, as well as their ears literally being amps.

Hakamo-o/Kommo-o use their scales to make noise, as shown by its signature move: Clanging Scales.

Kricketot and Kricketune are based off of crickets, who make noise on summer nights (really loud too) as well as violins and guitars

Pyroar in gen 6 had it's then-signature move, Noble Roar, which was a Sound-based move.

Tympole/Palpitoad/Seismitoad are based off of vibrations and also using sound waves that are imperceptible to the human ear to communicate.

Primarina is based off of an opera singer, as well as having the signature ability Liquid Voice.

Possible Retyped Moves:

Boomburst

Chatter

Disarming Voice

Echoed Voice

Growl

Heal Bell

Hyper Voice

Noble Roar

Perish Song

Relic Song

Roar

Screech

Sing

Now, the thing is, all sound moves may have sound properties, but not all sound-based moves are sound type. moves like Bug Buzz, Grass Whistle, and Parting Shot may be sound-based, but for simplification, they wouldn't change types. Chatter only changes because Chatot is now Sound-Type, and Flying doesn't make much sense for it now.

Possible Type Effectiveness:

Weak to:

/

/

Music can be used to benefit the brain, like listening to music while studying. the ground is a solid object that doesn't usually allow sound waves to pass through it. Sound waves also dont exist for that long.

Resists:

Sound travels normally without any delay through water and air, and for fighting? Ever tried to punch music??​

Does Super Effective damage to:

A high pitched sound can break both Glass and at a louder sound, metal. Sound can also be used to control electricity.

Does Not Very Effective damage to:

Solid and durable objects wont allow sound to go through them, mostly bouncing off. Sound waves also do last for short amounts of time.

Is Immune to:

When two sound waves meet, they cancel each other out.

CHAOS resub (WIP)
Chaos shares some similarities to the Beast and Brutal types from past slates, but this type is reserved for Pokémon who either cause chaos/destruction either intentionally (in the case of Gengar), unintentionally (in the case of Absol), or are linked to chaos. Regarding the similarity to Dark-type, Dark is all about fighting using dishonorable methods, and Chaos is all about, well, chaos.

My laptop needs a RAM reseating, so I can’t access my images currently.

Matchups

Super Effective

Fighting, Psychic, Steel, Fairy, Chaos

• Most Fighting and Psychic types are humanoid, and in chaos, lots of people die.
• If you have chaos in the city, a lot of buildings are probably going to get demolished.
• Fairies are small creatures that would probably get injured/killed in chaos.
• Chaos + Chaos = More Chaos, which would make the attack more powerful i guess?

Not Very Effective

Flying, Ghost, Dragon, Heart

• Flying creatures should just be able to avoid chaos by flying over it (unless it's aerial chaos).
• Ghosts can't be hit by chaos (unless it's spiritual chaos).
• Dragons have a lot of endurance and should probably be able to survive chaos.
• Good defeats bad (usually).

*Explanation: Primal Kyogre represents alpha, and in the beginning, everything was chaos.

If Kyogre is chaos because the beginning was full of chaos, shouldn't the same be considered for Groudon? In the end everything will likely be chaos as well. just a suggestion.

 

[PsuedoRidge]

I feel like Primal Groudon’s current type fits better than Ground/Chaos.

 

[Jpixelcube]

I feel like Primal Groudon’s current type fits better than Ground/Chaos.

Yeah, I actually agree with that, I just wanted to hear your opinion on that idea. I always thought it was weird kyogre didn't get a second typing like groudon did TBH.

 

[Samtendo09]

I will comment on the (re-)submissions so far (excluding mine, Light-type, to avoid coming off as egoistic).

Well, I already talked about this, but now it's time to unveil my
(Just saw Samtendo's sub and i decided to do a bit more as well)
HERO Type!
AKA the "please don't make light a good-type" type. All about being a hero and protecting others, as opposed to fighting's just pure fighting skill. Either by Pokedex Entry (Absol), Origin (Infernape), Or just general design and actions of the pokemon (Lucario), These pokemon just have a protective or heroic streak to them.


Potential Effectiveness
The Hero Type is made to be a counterpart for Evil-type, but that doesn't mean that it'll be super good against it. on the Contrary, I think that Counterparts have to be, well, a dangerous thing to fight against. So, here's how the potential will be.

Offensive:
x2: Dark (Heroes can easily turn evil into Heroes), Dragon (most Stories have heroes fighting dragons and winning), Ghost (Heroes are normally unafraid and able to face their fears, which fear is best represented with Ghost-type)
x.5: Normal (Heroes protect normal people, not fight them), Fairy (Fairies usually give heroes their power in fairy tales), Heart (Those with powerful hearts can influence a hero)

Defensive:
x2: Dark (while Heroes can turn evil good, Evil can do the same to good.), Heart (See above), Fighting (A stronger fighter can overpower even a hero in some cases)
x.5: Dragon (See above), Ghost (See above), Normal (While heroes do not fight normal people, normal people usually have no chance at overpowering a hero as well.), Time (Heroes usually stand the test of time to live "forever", in a sense)

As for the power of this type, well..... Not too sure. This is still a work-in-progress type chart myself. Kind-of worried it's a bit too close to fairy ATM.
Potential Retypes

And

: Dark -> Hero
They are most known for going to warn people of danger, and doing so even though people hate them. Changing them to Pure Hero because Dark-type doesn't fit them. Honestly I'd think Absol is the posterboy of the Hero-type, more than Lucario.

and

: Fighting/Steel -> Fighting/Hero
I don't think they need too much of an explanation, as they are constantly seen as heroes in most of the work that depicts them. Changing Steel because it's the type that fits the least on them. Unfortunately, with the above matchup, that gives them a massive weakness to Fairy.

: Fire/Fighting -> Fire/Hero
He's based on Sun Wukong. Heck, his fighting style seems to even be based on sun Wukong's. I'm not changing Monferno because he fits more as fighting than hero, But if Decidueye can switch from flying to ghost, I think infernape can switch from fighting to hero. Feel free to disagree with me on this one though, This is probably one of my weaker changes.

and

: Fighting | Fighting/Dark -> Hero | Hero/Dark
Pangoro protects people from bullies, albiet by beating them up as well. I think it's enough for him to be the hero-type, but again, you can disagree with me on this.

And here's the one I think that is the most controversial.

,

,

, and

: Fairy -> Hero
As the guardians of Alola, we even see them protect the world from the Ultra-Beasts when they appeared. I think they make a lot of sense as Hero-type. This will replace all of their fairy types, because it A. keeps them diverse type-wise, and B. I think the fact that they were guardians were the reason they were fairy-type. I'd add more, but these are just the ones I think right now fit the best message I want to go for in the Hero-type.
How not to pick pokemon for hero-type
Pokemon That Have No reason to be Hero-type as another type already is submitted for them.

: Yes, he fights the "Darkness", but from how he fights it by using reflective light on his scales, this fits more for Light-type or Sound-type.

: Using keldeo as the example for all the swords (And Chestnaught too), yes, they are heroic. But I think the Noble-type fits them more as they are noble swords. We could do a Hero/Noble type for all of them (Except Chestnaught, obviously), But that would lessen their Diversity, so I think Noble-type fits best for them.
Retyped Moves
Honestly, if I talk about retyped moves, the only one I can see for now is Superpower, but that's because i've been a bit more focused on other aspects, like which pokemon fit as hero-type. There are probably a lot of moves i'm missing, so I'll look further into it and try to find some more later.
Edit: After thinking about it for a bit, I do want to turn Wide Guard into a hero-type move. Why? Because it seems to fit with one of my main Ideals of what Hero-type should be: Protecting others. If you don't know, wide guard is a protect move that allows you to protect your teammate as well. Things like Wish or other moves that seem to help others should also likely be hero-type.

This is a good way to have a good counterpart to Dark-type and so that Light-type will not be harrassed to be the Good-type instead of what I (and a few of others) prefer it to be purely light elemental. Also, Infernape as Fire/Hero will make him to stand out from Blaziken and Emboar, the other two fully evolved Fire/Fighting starters. I'll give a slight stat boost to its Speed since the Speed creep had caught up in Gen 7 somewhat.

Time to score another typing win.

Monster Typing
​

If there is a dragon typing, how is there not a Monster one? Now before you freak, there are lots of Pokemon whose typing looks seemingly slapped on just because, and thanks to the Monster egg group, we have a fair description of what's what

Excerpt from Bulbapedia

The monster typing is based upon Kaiju, traditional legendary monsters and monstrous things in general. Many Pokemon are based on Kaiju, so Monster as a typing has precedence.

Good concept, and it reminds me of the old Dinosaur type but without Monsters being restricted to dinosaurs. My only concern is that how could Fairy-type be strong against Monster even if both were not seen together in fictions?

​

A classic common fan type that can be a logical conclusion to the likes of Sing, Boomburst (though I will nerf it to have the same BP of Earthquake does to concerns of how easily spammable it would be as it would now deal SE damage) and especially Chatter. Even if it is just the Possible Type Effectiveness, Time, Psychic and Ground are already good in offensive presence and if Sound-type is vulnerable to those commonly aggressive type, it will not help more defensive Pokemon. Just sayin'.

I do feel like it is similar to Dark-type, but still stood out enough to be able to become a different Type, and the potential type effectiveness can be a real pain for Mega Mawile and several prominent Steel-type and Fairy-type OU threats. I do not like it to be into a forced trio with Time and Space, but if you people really want a Chaos/Dragon Giratina, then I have no problems. You (a few voters, not naming any) want it to happen, not me.

I'll be honest; as much as I will be happy to see Light-type win, I will not mind if another Type will win instead, as I already did my best to give viable tools to the previous winners, Heart, Time and Space. So everyone, regardless of what Type will win next, we shall put our best to give it an archetype, but also make it varied enough to avoid redundancy and making it too limited!
