>>51313916Having the same type doesn’t mean anything if species strengths, abilities, and movepools are different. Nobody for instance says that Basculegion is the same as Jellicent, or Kartana and Ferrothorn play identically,
The salt Pokémon would only be the second pure Rock 3-stage line ever - there are twice as many 3-stage Grass/Poison lines.
It’s fine if we get another.
As for the scarab, we don’t know how this will work but Orbeetle’s theme is UFOs/genius scientists. The theme of this Pokémon may be based on Egyptian spiritualism like the ostrich.
