>>35448591i would say empoleon's typing is arguable, since it being a penguin would make most people think it's an ice type, but if you were to change the color of empoleon's blue wings to gray, they would literally look like blades.
I will give you mawile though
>>35448616you're about pokemon not having to looks it's typing, but most pokemon at least get an explanation for their typing, like A-Dugtrio, doesn't look like a steel type, but then you learn that the hair is actually metalic whiskers that it uses to sense things.
>>35448637not really, it looks as much as a fighting type as zangoose does
