Do you think any pokemon meet that description?

I think ultra necrozma is psychic/dragon to be weak to all of the Alola starters' secondary types.

I'm pretty sure Alolan exeggutor is grass/dragon to be 4x weak to ice, like real tropical plants.

Mew can learn every move because it was originally a Pokemon used to test whether or not moves work properly

Hilda and Hilbert are twins.

Ghost type Pokemon can communicate and look after actual ghosts.

Lucario is part Steel type so it would be defensively overpowered on it's debut gen(4x resistance to sneaky pebbles, was the only Reversal user that gets STAB and is immune to one of the weathers that do residual damage, etc.)

But this is wrong, stupid. Alolan Exeggutor is dragon because of the type of tree it is.

It doesn't look like a dragon tree though. That got really popular as an explanation for the dragon type when it was first revealed, because everyone was scratching their heads trying to come up with an explanation.

mew being a dummy for test moves actually sounds plausible
some gen 1 mons should have a secondary typing (psyduck, pinsir, seadra) but they don't for balance/progression issues and that's why there are so many rock/ground, grass/poison (they were proven to work ok)
mega pinsir gets flying type and aerialite to counter heracross' fighting type

Sudowoodo's typing is mechanical. It's supposed to look like a Grass type so you send in a Fire, only for it to get killed by Rock attacks and resist fire damage. same goes for if you try and use a flying, or Bug type, both of which are available early in the game and are known to murder Gras types. That shenanigan wouldn't really work with any other typing. Rock and Grass actually kind of resist most of the stuff the other is weak to.

Zygarde is Dragon/Ground so it can rape both Xerneas AND Yveltal is Inverse battles.

Gyarados is part flying because a Water/Dragon type would be overpowered in gen 1, also they wanted to reserve the dragon type for the pseudo.
Another reason could be that its based off a japanese flying kite.

Kartana could've plausibly been any combination of Grass, Steel, Flying, or Fighting, but they went with the one 4x weak to Fire because it's paper.
Celesteela similarly could've had a secondary typing of Flying, Grass, or Fire, but I think they deliberately made it the only of the original 7 UBs with no 4x weakness to go along with it being the versatile one.

But they could have just given Blastoise those moves by move relearner or something. My guess is that Clawitzer was to have a version exclusive line with Dragalge and to showcase the ability on a non-Mega.

Another possible reason for A-Exeggutor's Dragon type, A-Marowak's Ghost type, and the many Dark and Steel Alola forms, were to give Gen 1 more Pokemon of types not common in that region.

Dedenne is likely a Fairy type as it was the new type and the Pikaclones often showcase new features. I have a feeling Emolga's Flying type, aside from it's inspriation, is to showcase how Flying moves can hit any opponent in a triple battle, unlike other types.

Also, Jellicent is pretty much confirmed to be Ghost type in order to add type variety to BW. Same with Stunfisk NOT being Water type, if I remember right.

But meaning "Not quite wood" doesn't mean "I' a rock monster!" It's rock because rock resists almost all the stuff Grass is weak to so it can trick you. Its gimmick of looking like grass but resisting stuff that kills grass wouldn't work with any other typing.

I think I heard somewhere Chandelure wasn't originally going to be ghost type and was pure fire, but they made it part ghost at the last second because BW didn't have enough ghosts.

Yeah, but its gimmick of surprising you when a bug/flying/fire move doesn't do well against it wouldn't work if it weren't a Rock type.
