Is there any reason Gamefreak decided to make this thing a Ground/Ghost type when we already have a plethora of other pokemon that have that type combination? It's a literal runeSTONE.

So it wouldn't be able to hit CHARIZARD super effectively with its STAB

Because they were generally used as grave markers or celebrated a dead warrior, so Game Freak took the liberty of assuming the sprit of the dead infested the Rune to bring it to life.

That’s not what he’s talking about. The ghost typing isn’t in question- it’s the fact that it’s a runestone that Gamefreak has to call a “””””clay tablet””””” to justify not making an obvious Rock/Ghost type.

Tyranitar's rock typing is mostly a hindrance to it. Would be better off

Rock typing lets Ttar benefit from the SpDef boost in the sand, and gives it a fuckton of weaknesses to abuse weakness policy.
Rock type sucks most of the time, but Tyranitar is uniquely equipped to make the best of it.

They dropped the ball on typings this Gen. So many Pokémon that would be dual typed or some other type just aren’t

Look at Galarian Yamask’s dex entries.
> A clay slab with cursed engravings took possession of a Yamask. The slab is said to be absorbing the Yamask's dark power.
> It's said that this Pokémon was formed when an ancient clay tablet was drawn to a vengeful spirit.
Clay is associated with the Ground type, as we see with the Baltoy and Golett lines.
While runestones are typically stone, Runerigus does not actually have one. Its Japanese name. Deathban, means death and ban (slab). The slab in this case means clay. So Ground.

But why did they need to make it a clay slab?
It looks like a stone slab, and a slab can be made of anything.
Plus, the runeSTONEs it's based on are made of stone.
It really does come across like a last minute change. Changing the type from rock to ground, and changing "stone" to "clay" in the dex entries would've been really quick and easy.

Because they thought it would be funny if it had the same typing as Golurk, ANOTHER Unova Ghost that's ALSO in Galar.

Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I was presented by a ground/ghost, I'd have six nickels.
