>>50602941I would love an Alien type instead of Cosmic, because it's more specific and less mythical/magical.
Alien Pokemon should be weird and lovecraftian, with many eyes and tentacles and designs that just don't make sense.
Since they're the anti-thesis to life on earth, their moves could be resisted by normal, grass and bug types, giving those types much needed additional defense. Ice could also resist them, as an homage to Metroid.
And on the other hand, they should be weak to normal, grass and poison (normal life, organic stuff)
Aliens absorb energy and earth technology is inferior to them, so they resist fire and electricity, while their moves are very effective against electricity and steel. And also water, because it's Earth's most important resource and they often invade us in movies because of our abundance of water.
Alien moves range from a Tentacle Slash and Life Absorption to an insanity inducing sound move called Foreign Tongues.
Their coverage movepool is wide since they can learn lots of Psychic and Dark type move, but also fire, electric, bug and grass type moves depending on their design.
The main status effects their moves inflict are confusion and paralysis, sometimes poison. And they learn many recovery moves, highlighting theor superior biology.
