What would you have them be if not psychic? Cosmic Power is a psychic move for a reason anon.

Sure anon, a lot of the "otherworldly" themes work with Psychic-type really well.

Unless you wanted a Cosmic type?

Space themed pokemon should have their own typing or at least dark type or void type. Psychic is more like mystical and mysterious not really cosmic related.

Psychic is about the mind and classic tropes of telekinesis, teleportation and other such common abilities. Space-themed Pokémon aren't like that at all. Some may be very intelligent, but other than that their concepts are in a completely different ballpark.

Also
>Dark type
You do realize the Dark type doesn't symbolize actual darkness, right? It's not even called "Dark type" in Japanese.

But it could symbolize darkness because umbreon is related to the moon which is in space? Its not particularly "evil". Same goes for midnight lycanroc actually.

Does it make a difference if they're at least partially sentient, like Pokemon are implied to be?

Yeah that could it be a good material for a new type. Cosmic-type sounds good.

They could change Cosmic power, Doom desire, Wish, Moonlight, Morning sun, Gravity, Hyperspace hole, Prismatic laser and Lunar dance into Cosmic moves.

Change Unown, Deoxys, Cosmog, Cosmoem and Necrozma to pure cosmic. (except necrozma is cosmic/rock)

Add cosmic type to the typing of Clefairy, Clefable, Creselia, Elgyem and Beheeyem.

And change Psychic for Cosmic in the typing of Hoopa (both forms), Solgaleo, Lunala, Lunatone, Solrock and Jirachi.

They could resist Dark, Fairy and Ice, and be weak for Dragon and Steel.

Their moves could be supereffctive on Earth, Rock and Fairy pokemon, and not very effective on Psychic and Dragon

I mean kind of. Dark Pulse exists but I think that's the only example of a Dark move that uses "dark energy" rather than "fighting dirty." Ghost is more fitting.

What a fucking idiot. Look in to most old-school sci-fi stories with ESPers and telekinetic people and most of them come from space or are space related. It's only recently (90's and after) that "Psychic" powers have been predominantly explained with other backgrounds.

It's the closest association. At least slug Pokemon are in the clear though.

>>32412777
Balance reasons probably. Bug/Water was seen as a type that cucks Grass and Fire on super effectivity, so they probably thought it too powerful and Bug is often an earlygame typing that wasn't given a chance to shine in higher statdom until Gen 5.

Isopods are hard not to consider insects, where as people who eat crabs, shrimp and lobster are put off at the idea they're related to any kind of insect. So there could also be that.
