Giving EVERY Monotype Starter a Second Type

4:43 dude plesiosaurs are water lizards that had fins they look very similar to Lapras. The word you’re looking for is Sauropods

I would give meganium the fairy type

I feel like the Johto guys were made to be THE monotype trio

I love Mega Blastoise, but it should have been Water/Steel and I stand by that

Ngl Typhlosion seems like a fire-normal type of

Rillaboom could have a hidden ability called percussion or something like that. It would make all sound based moves use the attack stat.

Exactly! Gen 8 starters Pokémon such a huge disappointment, all we want is Fire/Electric starters for Scorbunny and Water/Ghost for Sobble.

Inteleon speaks psychic to me, using its intellect for spying

Here's what I would have done; Blastoise: Water/Steel (since Squirtle's shell is based on a rusty coin too) Meganium: Grass/Fairy (Since its breath brings plants back to life, similar to the Florges line) Typhlosion: Fire/Ground (same reasoning as yours, very volcano inspired) Feraligatr: Water/Dragon (It learns quite a few Dragon moves like Dragon Tail, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, Outrage, Scale Shot and Breaking Swipe) Sceptile: Grass/Dragon (It's very reminiscent of a Velociraptor, plus Dragon type E4 Drayton uses one.) Serperior: Grass/Dragon (Dragons have always had the kind of prestige associated with royalty, plus there's large mythological snakes like the Basilisk) Samurott: Water/Fighting (It would be the perfect counter to its Hisuian forme, plus its dex entries mention training a fighting style like many fighting types.) Rillaboom: Grass/Ground (it gets A LOT of Ground type moves, plus you could interpret its drumming as sounding like an earthquake.) Cinderace: Fire/Electric (Just because I don't want another Fire/Fighting type, plus he can be lightning fast. It just needs more Electric moves than Electro Ball) Inteleon: Water/Ghost (Completely agree with the reasoning that Ghost type fits its invisibility, as many Ghost types turn invisible too.)

serperior and sceptile deserve dragon typing more than anything else, i didn't like how you wouldn't allow them to have that typing just because you already used it with meganium (even though blaziken and infernape were both fire/fighting)

Typhlosion would be much better suited as a Fire/Normal type. Typhlosion takes inspiration from a rodent, and most rodents in the Pokémon canon are aligned with the Normal type. Also, Normal moves make up a plurality of Typhlosion’s movepool, behind Fire type. And lastly, when looking at Typhlosion’s design, the complete lack of any standout features really adds to its “normalness.” Not to mention, Fire/Normal would’ve been an amazing contradiction to its Hisuian form, which is Fire/Ghost. IMO, Typhlosion would’ve been an absolute beast if it were Fire/Normal with Adaptability as its HA.

I would give Typhlosion the Normal type, as it feels like it could fit, plus stab normal attacks could be nice

I don't think all starter Pokémon need a secondary type. However, I believe a few starter Pokémon would benefit from a secondary type and improved level up learnsets to take advantage of it. For example, Grovyle and Sceptile should have been Grass-Dragon type. When Treecko evolves at Level 16, Fury Cutter is a terrible move for Grovyle to learn. This is the perfect time for Grovyle to learn Dragonbreath because it will actually help Grovyle and Sceptile with all the early-mid game gyms they struggle with.

Inteleon can become invisible, fly, control highly pressured streams and pierce through targets weaknesses... I would give him the psychic type, trying to make his "magic" look like 007 skills

I think the reason we don't see Dragon in starter trios is just because it would remove the ability for the Pokemon they're supposed to be weak against to hit them super effectively. However, this could be circumvented the same way the Sinnoh trio did, by making that other Pokemon's secondary type still able to hit them hard.

Yeah why isn't Blastoise a steel type? It's literally carrying cannons and it would have been a perfect balance for the types being immune to poison from vena and strong to flying. Plus gen 1 definitely needed more dual types. Gen two I'd make them grass fairy water dark fire electric as I can see cinda line having static fur and storms can cause fires. Mega would be more interesting as a fairy type to give more options. Toda line dark would be hax Treeko line dark or dragon is cool but I'd love to see grass steel as it basically sharpens itself like a sword to fight and would be very powerful that way too. Sure fire destorys it but more options to cut down foes Snivy line I'd go with fairy as a mythical creature that sheds it's arms and legs to become a snek. Sounds cool

Blastoise - Water/Steel Meganium - Grass/Fairy Typhlosion - Fire/Ground Feraligator - Water/Dark Sceptile - Grass/Dragon

Meganium should’ve gotten the Fairy type in Gen 6. I will die on that hill. It should have fairy moves too. Can’t believe it didn’t get 1 damaging one. And that the Tera raid was psychic was just salt in the wound to me. I guess that means GameFreak sees it as more psychic than anything. Edit: Honestly it seems to me GameFreak thinks the Tera raids work as a way of saying “this is what it would be if we thought of it” or as a kind of 3rd type. With the exception of the Typhlosion and Samurott raids. Those were more so they could counter their Hisuian counterparts.

8:42 “No other type to portray its regal side” Primarina, a Fairy type clown: Am I a joke to you?

Meganium needs one of a few things, a support type like normal to buff out its move set with a few good TMS, a powerhouse type like Fairy or Psychic, or maybe something something completely different Edit: Chikorita supremacy
