Turtonator I would retype to mono Fire because Dragon just feels slapped on (probably as an excuse to make it a version counterpart with Drampa)
Drampa should have been mono Dragon, it being Normal/Dragon is just a poor attempt to make it "unique"

it's to get people to use normal type moves since there's a shit load of really good ones that all go ignored
also normal gives it an immunity to ghost

It's quite literally a "normal dragon". Drampa is the closest thing Pokemon has to a typical Chinese dragon.

There is no good reason that Absol shouldn't be Psychic/Dark, or at least Dark/Fairy. Not even its Mega changed its type at all.

What's the problem with Drampa being a Normal/Dragon?
The ghost-type immunity doesn't hurt and his unique design would be totally ruined by a pure dragon-type just like they did with Dragonair
Don't fix what isn't broken, faggot

I think Electivire should’ve been made Electric/Fighting if only to make better use of its physical attack stat or at least give it Galvanize as a second ability alongside giving it more physical normal type moves.

Why couldn't they just make Flygon Bug/Dragon? Please explain this to me, anons.

Fair, but there’s also the fact that it’s cutesier than other butterfly designs in the series and bug/flying is overused and cripples it. And you could even say something stupid like it’s wings and eyes have pixels on them, so it’s a “pixie” idk

Drampa's Normal/Dragon because despite being old, it hasn't given up the ghost. It's a neat bit.

Bug/Flying is overused but Vivillon is one of the few good ones.
And why want it Fairy type when Ribombee would just outclass it in everyway?

In what way would Drampa's design be ruined by being pure dragon?

Turtonator looks like a Ground or Rock type to me, hiding in the ground and setting off its trap. The red coloring is the only indication it's fire.

Turtle dragons are big in asia. Not as common eveywhere else. But I agree with Drampa. Normal is redundant. It's not even common or mundane in some way

>Normal slapped onto a Pokemon "just because"
It defeats the whole fucking purpose of a normal type. If a Pokemon gets the Normal as a subtype and it's not a Flying type, it needs to have a very good design reason why, like with Girafarig. Being "Just a normal animal" is not a valid reason.

You'd be crippling it by taking away STAB Compoundeyes Hurricane.

Dark/Fairy all the way. It's lore and abilities are incredibly evocative of fairies.

I think it's more in line with psychic types, since it's forseeing disasters.
But absol's for fags anyway
