>Raticate: Dark/Normal (Dark didn't exist in Gen 1)>Sandslash: Ice/Steel (There were only 5 Ice types in Gen 1, and Steel didn't exist)>Ninetales: Ice/Fairy (See above, and Fairy didn't exist)>Dugtrio: Ground/Steel (Steel didn't exist in Gen 1)>Persian: Dark (Dark didn't exist in Gen 1)>Muk: Poison/Dark (Dark didn't exist in Gen 1)>Exeggutor: Grass/Dragon (there was only one Dragon family in Gen 1)>Marowak: Fire/Ghost (there was only one Ghost family in Gen 1)The only exceptions are Raichu (who was created just so Raichu could be relevant again), and Golem (I dunno)
