Quoted By:

Some
Obvious ones include:

Bug/dark roach

Fire/grass chili pepper

Poison/electric jellyfish/manta

Dragon/bug dragonfly...

Ground/fairy gnome

Electric/dark pig “power hog” that steals electricity

Normal/poison platypus, or any animal that isn’t known for poison/venom that has it in specific species, like a couple of birds that do

Really anything that’s part normal could just be any regular animal with a logical reason for its sub-type.

Fire/ice could be something based on thermodynamics

Poison/steel could be industrial waste or maybe a mercury slime creature

Ice bug - there are a few insect species that are active in the winter. Maybe also a moth who’s “fur” is like a coat?

Rock ghost could just be some possessed.... statue? Seems like golurk, sableye, and spiritomb have a lot to do with rocks. Although maybe golurk is more clay.

I would also include types that are only found in forms like rotom:

Fire/electric something to do with static and friction

Grass/electric could be a “nature reclaiming infrastructure” thing, or a bioluminescent fungus

Kirby 64 might also have some ideas for type combinations but I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

So have I missed what Impidimp’s typing is? Looks like a Dark mon?

This might be a dumb question, but do we absolutely know for a fact what its type is? Sure, it used Fairy and Dark moves, but Yamper knew Play Rough too and it's not Fairy.

Quoted By:

Fire/Fairy could have biblical angel inspiration, they were fine using Jewish mythology.

Psychic/Bug could maybe be a Vespiquen counterpart or rival, leading its colony not through a hivemind but a network with psychic powers (maybe Durant related too?). Aren't there also parasites that capture a host and control or influence its mind? Parasect uses a fungus parasite but we haven't had an insect parasite yet, like a flatworm.

Poison/Ice we could have a Greenland shark, which resides in the coldest possible waters and has toxic flesh.

Normal/Ghost we could have a tanky Hachiko ghost reference, maybe with a special defense version of Stamina, or maybe it stays in battle a turn after its HP hits 0 like a reverse Mimikyu? Would be a cool reference to his loyalty.
