This, always. This looks utterly Fire/Fairy and would have its own niche but instead they are cucking out either chandelure or alolan Marowak or both. I mean I guess I am biased because Fairy is one of my favorite types, but seriously it wouldn't have even been inappropriate if anything would have fit better than Ghost. Alas. Still my fav UB.

It's a dullahan who has a firework for head, so
Fire/Ghost makes sense. However dullahans are mythical creatures so I admit a Fairy typing wouldn't have been out of place.

those are the only two clowns we had until burst, and they were both fairy type. It was a reasonable prediction although personally I thought it'd be fire/psychic.

Yes, actually; GF has set that as one of the standards for something being a Fairy type. It fits the established Fairy type aesthetic.

There is one confirmed instance of this happening; it was stated in an interview that Frillish and Jellicent were designed as pure Water types and had the Ghost type slapped on for the sake of type diversity.

Missed opportunity for the type combinations on these guys. UB Burst looks like a fucking fireworks clown. Not Fire/Fairy.

UB Adhesive is Poison-type but it levitates in the air and looks an awful lot like the lake guardians... Not Poison/Psychic.

UB Assembly has the shitty Rock/Steel type that gives it a shit ton of weaknesses despite its seemingly powerful defenses. Not Rock/Ghost. Not Steel/Ghost. The horrendous typing I hate.

But now that these guys are using UBs on their team there are a few more unrevealed UBs (that actually have desirable typings).

Plus dullahans are unseelies, although they've been more associated with the undead in recent times.

Unique typing are one of the ways Game Freak "ensures" that people will be interested in upcoming entries. I'm not even defending the boring type choices like mono-Poison I'm just saying there is a reason it took 6 generations until we got a Fire/Water type. They just want to stretch out the unused type combinations so people will wonder if gets introduced next generation to then finally be excited when Bug/Psychic gets introduced in Gen 10 or something.

If that's the case then it's kind of a waste of a really cool concept really.
I'd much rather have something a bit on the spookier side for a dullahan.

What? No, Dullahans are literally zombies with a decapitated head. They are way more related to ghost or dark than fairy.

They are unseelie ('bad' or 'dark') fairies. 'Fairy' is a rather generic but also fairly specific label originating in the folklore of the British Isles; like an above anon stated 'fairy' can almost be thought of as a synonymous the supernatural in folklore but very much distinct from notions of ghosts, revenants and other undead entities.

I think you need to expand your notion of what a fairy is.
