Fighting/Flying

Thematically appropriate against Mandibuzz AND creates a relationship with Hawlucha.

also I forgot I would do Snorunt/Glalie->Ice/Fairy so they'd have a better niche since Ice/Fairy is unused. They are also based on creatures from Japanese folklore, so it would fit.

I seriously do not understand why mismagius is not ghost/fairy, it's one of the best coverage typings in the game covering all but Pyroar. Plus she fits fairy type completely

Gyarodos should be water dragon.
Because it's based off a chinese dragon.
And looks like a dragon.
And doesn't fly.
But it's flying type.
Not dragon type.
It learns most dragon moves.
I just don't understand how it's not a dragon.

>The definition of venom by Fry et al. (see Definitions) regards the feeding secretions of hematophagous (blood eating) specialists as a particular subtype of venom. In this context, the subfamily Desmodontinae represents the venomous mammals from the order Chiroptera.

He's poison because it was the Dark type before Dark type existed. I'm surprised they didn't give any poisons or give pure Poison a dark typing or something.

Haunter and Gengar are not. And there are precedents for evolutions changing type, so it wouldn't be too weird.

Except for Charizard, none of those starters make sense.

Changing Snubbul's type and it's dex is retarded. that's like changing CHarmander to a poison type and change it's dex to say it can poison things.

"The banshee (/ˈbænʃiː/ ban-shee), from Irish: bean sí [bʲæn ˈʃiː] ("woman of the sídhe" or "woman of the fairy mounds") is a female spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the underworld.
In legend, a banshee is a fairy woman who begins to wail if someone is about to die"

Banshees are Irish fairy spirits. The "shee" comes from "sídhe."

Witches would reinforce the Fairy -> "magical shit" type.

Snubbull is a fairy for no reason. They just decided to call it a fairy in the dex because I guess they were fucking drug addicts back in 1999 and thought it made sense. Then when they made the Fairy type they had to follow through with the mistake they made years ago and make it a Fairy type even though it doesn't make sense.

I actually know why
It was supposed to be water/dragon in gen 1, but it was retyped to water/flying because water/dragon only had one weakness.
There were only one dragon move in gen 1, and it always dealt 60 damage

Different Anon, but the entire line has always been associated with gas, choking, etc. It makes enough sense, and there's no reason Gengar would lose the qualities it's previous forms had especially since the Dex entries play up the poison side.
