Pack it up boys, anon found a new way to ignore people's opinions. You can't complain about bad typings anymore. Nevermind that it's not only the ghost types that have shit typings in Gen 7 and 8, we're all just autistic ghostfags I guess. Pack it up.

To anyone complaining about its Ghost type because "le ebin stealth plane" - picture this: you know how Phantom Force/Shadow Force works? I can only imagine that in other media like the anime, that's going to be this thing's bread and butter. Literally fading from existence only to reveal itself somewhere else and launch its baby missiles.

Well if we’re being technical these things still make a lot of noise if you are decently close, it’s stealthiness comes more from the thin wing shape and how the reduced surface area is more difficult to pick up on radar, especially the profile when facing head on. Also the color. These would only ever be bombers or scouting planes, not fighters.

I don't really see it. You take away the semi-transparency of the tail and nothing about it clearly says ghost-type whatsoever, and even with the final design you're instantly drawn to the mechanical-looking bomber head that screams either steel or flying.

Weird case because Giratina's entire concept is just a vague ghostly dragon, so just slapping the shadowy wings on it is enough to get the point across without them feeling out of place with the rest of the design.

It's a Ghost type because it's using it's pre-evo as ammo, turning them into suicide bombers and consequently, ghosts/dead.

Why does it need to be a particularly strong point? Since when do pokemon typings need more than a simple justification? Diplocaulus are all dead so a Diplocaulus pokemon is a ghost, it's not a complicated thing
Diplocaulus was related to salamanders so it being water type would be equally acceptable.

Hell, if it were fighting type that would be just as fine too

The stealth of dark mons is usually reserved for deliberately underhanded kinds of fighting though. Like Greninja is dark type because ninjas are known to fight underhandedly, if it was able to turn invisible or control shadows it would have probably been Ghost type instead.

I don’t understand what you mean, I'm saying that his tail doesn’t come out of nowhere in his line yet still conveys translucence and incorporealness like a Ghost. Why is it acceptable for Giratina to only have a visual justification in his wings but it’s not enough of a justification to have a ghostly tail?

It's more than "it has spooky wings" -- it also basically phases in and out of existence; it's the Pokémon equivalent of Satan or some other malicious non-physical entity; it's the sole inhabitant of some alternate dimension; etc.

There's a lot more to Giratina's ghostliness than StealthBomberDragon's, and Giratina's ghostliness is far less metaphorical. Kekleon is shown to render itself invisible -- that doesn't make it a ghost type.

ok, those are all things you take from dex descriptions and how it behaves in the actual games. All you are basing your notions of dragapult on is a single screenshot. Wait until we learn more about it before "well it's clearly not a ghost unlike Giratina who is very clearly a ghost just by taking one look at it"

Decidueye controls shadows (Spirit Shackle is called Shadow Stitch in Japanese, he’s binding his opponents to their shadows) and owls are symbols of death on top of him being elusive and stealthy like Sableye or Gengar. I don’t understand why that’s not enough to convey Ghost type, any less than Giratina whose design really doesn’t convey anything explicitly Ghostly on its own.

it’s almost like >>40797064 has a point that dex entries and background lore are incorporated into typing and just like there’s a good lore justification for Giratina being Ghost there’s probably a good justification for Dragapult besides the stealth theme and translucent tail.

It’s incredibly subtle though. Either way, to say he conveys ghostliness at just a glance is obviously wrong. That doesn’t mean he’s a bad design or shouldn’t be Ghost type obviously but it just proves that dex entries/lore/references also play an important part in typing.

Its rocket launcher head is silly and cool at the same time.

Typing make it more interesting since only Giratina had it before.
