How would you make this a real type? What type of moves and pokemon would it have?

Bonus question; make an ??? typed regional form

??? as a type might just be my favorite ever added, even if the idea is really really hard to design around (and is admittedly dumb), especially through multiple languages.

I imagine that if it was a type it would be "weird" type and could be used for outlandish pokemon like the porygon line or wobbufet. the idea is that "weird damage" causes other pokemon to not understand what's happening, and causes confusion (also the soft confusion status could appear as part of the learn set archetype). maybe it could be weak to normal, and I won't attempt to theorize about what it's strong against since I don't have a type chart pulled up atm.
as for the moves, I'm not exactly sure. I was thinking that moves with somewhat random effects like tri attack would be a good fit. maybe moves that affect all pokemon on the field could also be a specialty.
im probably headcanoning too hard on this but it's not gonna happen anyway so I might was well.

Make alien mons like Ultra Beasts ??? type.
Their strengths and weaknesses can be on an individual basis.
Their ??? moves would just be their signature moves.

Maybe make it really gimmicky with randomized strengths/weaknesses. Tie the confusion status into it besides just curse. Definitely give it to unown if nothing else. It would probably be difficult to keep separate from psychic & ghost.

Possibly slowpoke, tangela, mr mime, ditto, porygon, togepi, natu, quagsire, misdreavus, unown, wobbufett, shuckle, stantler, smeargle, sableye, mawile, meditite, spoink, spinda, lunatone/solrock, baltoy, castform, keckleon, absol, regis, bronzor, spiritomb, lake spirits, arceus, victini, munna, sigilyph, yamask, zorua, elgyem, golurk, hoopa, ultra beasts, eternatus

Reserve the typing for Pokemon that don't look like Pokemon. Something you would feel very weirded out looking at. It should be ephemeral, like beta Arceus
