Approved by The Immortal and Eevee General. Previously known as 'Types of Egg'.
Egg Groups have been coded into Showdown for convenience, and are important when breeding Pokémon for competitive in-game. But on PS, they don't serve much use at all.
So what if your Egg Group helped to decide your type?
That's right, in 'Types of Egg', a Pokémon's new type is decided by it's Egg Group. Here's what Egg Group corresponds to what type:
The Rules of adding types are here:
For a list of all the type changes see here --> LINK
Any fully-evolved Pokémon not in the file have no type change. Brackets around a Pokémon and its type mean it is banned. By default, if a fully-evolved Pokémon is on the file, its pre-evolutions will have the same type unless stated. If there are any mistakes in the file, please notify me.
All OU Clauses and Banlists apply.
Megas and Forms that change typing will instead keep the typing of their normal form. E.g. Mega Aggron will also be Steel/Dark. This is because their Egg Groups remain the same.
Points for Discussion:
Thanks for reading!

So what if your Egg Group helped to decide your type?
That's right, in 'Types of Egg', a Pokémon's new type is decided by it's Egg Group. Here's what Egg Group corresponds to what type:
- Amorphous = +Ghost type (Ghost types fit the description of being amorphous than any other type)
- Bug = +Bug type (Obvious reasons)
- Ditto = +Normal type (Ditto is the only Pokemon in this group for obvious reasons, any other type makes no sense)
- Dragon = +Dragon type
- Fairy = +Fairy type
- Field = +Ground type (Since Grass is taken, the Ground type seems closest to a 'Field', may be subject to change)
- Flying = +Flying type
- Grass = +Grass type
- Human-like = +Fighting type (Along with Psychic types, Fighting types commonly have human-like bodies, but the majority of Pokemon in this Egg Group fit 'Fighting' more than 'Psychic')
- Monster = +Dark type (Monsters are scary! Suggested by Eevee General)
- Mineral = +Rock type ('Minerals' tend to mean Rocks instead of metals in comparison)
- Undiscovered = +Psychic type (The closest type to mystery and wiseness, associated with those 'Legendary'
and babies and female rhinos apparentlyis the Psychic type) - Water 1/2/3 = +Water type
Now, a Pokémon's type changes to whatever Egg Group it has + its original type. For example;
Raticate is Normal type by default. Since it is in the Field Egg Group and only that, it gains the Ground type, becoming Normal/Ground.
Magnezone is Electric/Steel type by default. Since it is in the Mineral Egg Group and only that, the Rock type replaces the secondary typing, becoming Electric/Rock.
Ariados is Bug/Poison type by default. Since it is in the Bug Egg Group, and since it is already Bug type, its type is unchanged, and remains Bug/Poison.
Glalie is Ice type by default. Since it is in the Fairy Egg Group and the Mineral Egg Group, it becomes Fairy/Rock type.
Stunfisk is Ground/Electric by default. Since it is in the Water 1 Egg Group and Amorphous Egg Group, it becomes Water/Ghost type.
Malamar is Dark/Psychic by default. Since it is in the Water 1 Egg Group and Water 3 Egg Group, it becomes pure Water type. (Malamar and Inkay are the only Pokémon currently which have this unique type change)

Points for Discussion:
- Should some Pokémon be unbanned because of newfound bad typing?
- What 'Interesting Type Things' can you find?
- What sets can be made from these retypes?
- What more Pokémon get (dis)advantages from their retypes?
- What threats are around?
- Should any other Pokémon be banned?
