Game Freak has a huge aversion with combing Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric with each other. Almost every time any type combo with them has shown up, it's the only one of its kind. Grass/Electric is the only one that has happened twice and that only finally happened with Hisuian Electrode.

If you count alternate forms as a different mon (which you shouldn't) technically rotom heat is fire/electric

I never thought about that. What's up with that? I'm wondering if it has to do with their autism not wanting the player to replace not just one but two starters in their team. They've done a good job of making sure that all three starter types are readily available in early routes so you can cover your gaps, put something like a water/grass compresses some of that team building and maybe their autism doesn't like it idk

on the topic of "type combos that feel like they should be more common than they actually are", I always felt like grass/ground was a big one

I've got another one for you: fire/dragon. Exceptionally rare type combo that only has two representatives, if you count megas.

I know you're kidding but this one pisses me off so much. I have this theory that GF "discovers" a type combination in the development of a generation and then just overdoes it to the point of overkill
>Grass/Ghost finally appears in Gen 6 with two lines, maybe because they couldn't decide which they liked better
>Get a Grass/Ghost starter and a filler mon in Gen 7
>Then another Grass/Ghost in Gen 9
>Still only one Grass/Water line, one Grass/Dragon line (not counting the Mega), one Grass/Fire line...

Ghost/Fire followed a similar path, and so did Poison/Dragon. It's like they discover the type combo and then they just decided they can't stop using it.

Game freak for the last few generations has been trying to feel "original" with their designs. Everything has a bunch of inspirations, unexpected or unique combos, signature moves and abilities.. it goes hand in hand with their recent philosophy that they want each Pokemon to have a personality you can pick up in an instant. And so maybe with that design philosophy comes the idea that they can't do "obvious" shit anymore? Something like a Water/Electric deep sea jelly would be cool, but it's not unique enough for them. They'd rather subvert expectations with stuff like a superhero dolphin or a Ground/Fighting mammoth.

Hope we get Cyclizar evolutions (refferencing the SV box "legends") in the future so we have both Electric/Dragon and Fire/Dragon represented properly.

Poson/Dragon or Fire/Dragon needs to be a physical oriented male evo for Salandit.

Instead we get a skeletal hand thing, an alien, a seahorse, a spiky turtle, SSJ charizard and some white mammal dragon thing with bird wings?
