Quoted By:

a normal type elite four member especially feels like such a no-brainer pick for an elite four member just by virtue of it being a type that is underestimated by pretty much everyone

Genesect, Buzzwole, and Pheromosa?

>Genesect is a Mythical
Mythicals used to be called "Event Legendaries"

>Buzzwole and Pheromosa are Ultra Beasts
They are high-stat, non-breedable, and are not abundant in the wild. That's good enough for me.

It will in Gen 10
>Bug type has been paired with every other type except for Dragon and Normal
The former pair will be the pseudo for gen 10, while the latter pair will be the early route bug
>the only types that have yet to be in the Elite Four are Normal, Grass, Electric, and Fairy
Elite 4 of gen 10 will have those exact types
>Dark type still only has 1 gym leader
so?

I still think Flying type is the most contentious.

>no pure Flying type until Gen 5
>during Gens 1-4, people actually argued why there couldn't or shouldn't be a pure Flying type
>no other pure Flying types until Gen 8

>no primary Flying dual types until Gen 6
>no real explanation for it
>triggered some autists anyway
>both primary and secondary Flying types would be sporadically introduced in Gens 8-9

Darkfags bitching about Gym Leaders specifically is incredibly lame. You have three Elite Four members, a Gym Leader, and a Kahuna which is also basically a Gym Leader. You have plenty of type specialist reps you just get hung up on one subtype.

And a rip-off of other better designed fakemons. Fanboys were saying GF would totally be above making a chili pepper, but here we are.

I think GameFreak just doesn't respect the type. There's no other excuse.
>but it's an early game type!
So are Bug and Rock, but Aaron and Olivia exist.

Honestly all of these surprise me, especially Grass/Electric (solid “elemental” types) and Fairy.

Scizor is a steel type first and foremost. Bug just happens to synergize really well with steel defensively.

Yeah. I'm surprised they haven't done a Fairy Elite 4 yet. They were quick to give the type a gym leader in its debut gen.

And I'm still unsure of the significance behind the type placement of dual-type Flying Pokemon. Why is Pelipper Water/Flying while Cramorant is Flying/Water? What is it supposed to mean? It's not even a new standard, as secondary Flying types still exist.

I didn't even notice that. I guess cuz Pelliper is a water specialist that happens to fly, while Cramorant is just a bird that in the water sparingly?
I dunno, trying to make sense of it is silly, types are whatever gamefreak wants them to be, regardless of how much sense it makes

It could also use a Flying-type rep that's more than a form change.

Still a "legendary status" Pokemon since so do UBs in their worlds.
