3 Types is objectively a terrible idea for Pokémon. But maybe to spice things up they can do it in a tentative sorta way. I'm thinking like this.

>you can PICK your mon's pseudotype to be anything you want via talking to an NPC

Certain species of mons have a psueotype other than Normal as the natural default. Dhelmise has Steel, Salandit and Corviknight have Dark, Lugia has Water, Flygon has Bug—you get the idea. It's just a tiny additional affinity for a certain Type other than their actual Typing.
