>>48357616Because gamefreak has something against the water/fighting type combination. Its really interesting, but the only two are poliwrath (who's cool but horrendously powercrept and wasn't even great in gen 1) and keldeo who probably shouldn't be a fighting type at all
>inb4 autism about musketeersPokemon types tend to have visual design signifiers so its easy to tell its typing at a glance. GF tends to be good at design so most pokemon follow this. You can't tell that keldeo/virizion/cobalion/terrakion are fighting types by their design.
Grapploct actually clearly looks like a water type. They probably cut it because they were worried about too many water types or something like they did with stunfisk.
