<\/figure>\n

Most\u00a0Pokemon<\/a> types are\u00a0pretty logical: Fish-like creatures are Water-type, floral Pokemon are Grass-type, those with strange mental powers are Psychic. Dual-typed Pokemon have elements from more than one category, like the Water\/Bug type Surskit. Occasionally, though, a Pokemon appears\u00a0with a typing that doesn’t seem quite right.<\/p>\n

Pokedex entries sometimes clear up typings that seem odd, such as Dhelmise’s Ghost\/Grass type. Others, however, don’t have any explanation. Some of these\u00a0inconsistencies\u00a0have confused fans for over twenty years; others are more recent. Here are just a few beloved Pokemon whose\u00a0types don’t align with their lore, designs, or abilities.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Absol Shouldn’t Be a Pure Dark-Type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This typing usually\u00a0covers\u00a0Pokemon\u00a0who have\u00a0a wicked streak<\/a>. Absol, however, is misunderstood rather than evil. With its ability to sense future disasters, Psychic-type fits it a little better. Additionally, its frigid habitat and knack for Ice-type\u00a0attacks call Ice-type Pokemon to mind.<\/p>\n

Some Dark-types do share Absol’s reclusive personality. However, a secondary Psychic or Ice typing makes sense with the species’ lore. It would also provide a beneficial STAB (same-type attack bonus) to some of its powerful moves.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Chansey Should Be Fairy, Not Normal<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Though the Fairy type wasn’t introduced until Gen VI, plenty of pre-existing Pokemon were retroactively granted this typing. Considering\u00a0its design and abilities align with the Fairy typing, it’s odd that Chansey wasn’t one of them.<\/p>\n

Most Fairy-types are cute, charming, and kind-natured. They bring\u00a0happiness and peace to others, people and Pokemon alike.\u00a0Chansey, as an aide to Nurse Joys everywhere, fits this description perfectly. Additionally,\u00a0both Chansey and the others in its evolutionary line can learn several Fairy-type moves.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Lucario’s a Great Fighting-Type, But Why Is It Steel?<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Lucario can sense the auras of people and Pokemon, and manipulate this spiritual energy. It can also communicate telepathically with its trainer.\u00a0These kinds of supernatural powers\u00a0are most often associated with Psychic-type Pokemon, yet Lucario doesn’t possess this typing.<\/p>\n

As of Gen 8 (and in most other generations), Lucario can learn more Psychic-type moves than Steel-type.\u00a0 There’s also not much in its design that suggests the metallic composition of\u00a0most Steel-types<\/a>, save for the spikes on its hands.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Toucannon Should Be Part Fire-Type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This is a common type combination, and many Pokemon that bear it resemble real-world bird species. This\u00a0seems to fit\u00a0Toucannon, considering its toucan-like appearance. However, several aspects of its lore suggest it should be part Fire-type instead of boring\u00a0Normal.<\/p>\n

Toucannon can heat its beak to over 212\u02da Fahrenheit, igniting seeds to\u00a0hurl at enemies. Its signature move, Beak Blast, is based on this\u00a0behavior and can leave the target with a burn. Considering these abilities, Toucannon would easily fit a Flying\/Fire typing.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Stantler’s Abilities Go Beyond Normal-Type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

According to its lore, Stantler creates all sorts of\u00a0visual illusions to trick and confuse its hunters. It plays tricks on peoples’ minds as a form of defense. Such abilities typically indicate Psychic typing, but Stantler is stuck with Normal\u2014for no real reason.<\/p>\n

With its extrasensory powers, it\u00a0should be a Normal\/Psychic<\/a> or even pure Psychic type. Additionally, Stantler learns a staggering number of Psychic-type moves\u00a0for a non-Psychic-type species.\u00a0A Psychic-type STAB would make this Pokemon formidable in battles.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Dunsparce’s Habits Fit Ground-Type\u00a0More Than Normal<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Normal-type is often a sort of default in the Pokemon universe, nothing to connect them to any of the elemental types.\u00a0Dunsparce, however,\u00a0lives in underground caves, making its home from\u00a0sand and soil. It also learns several Ground-type attacks.<\/p>\n

Considering all this, it’s bizarre that\u00a0Dunsparce\u00a0isn’t a Ground type. Many species are partly defined by their habitat; for example, ocean-dwelling Pokemon are almost always Water-type. This little burrower fits Ground or even Rock-type far more logically than Normal.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Charizard’s Secondary Typing\u00a0Should Match Its Design<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Considering\u00a0this Pokemon is a fire-breathing dragon,\u00a0it’s strange that its secondary typing is actually Flying. The choice\u00a0not make Charizard a Dragon-type<\/a> has always confused Pokemon fans,\u00a0since its design suggests it should belong to this category.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Charizard learns just as many Dragon-type moves as Flying-type through level up, and even more via TM. Replacing its secondary type would result in an equally useful STAB. Additionally, the Dragon typing would negate Charizard’s most common weakness: Water-type attacks.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Why Is Gyrados Part Flying-Type?<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This type combination has bothered fans since Generation I. The Flying type usually covers birdlike species\u2014not fearsome\u00a0water monsters like this Pokemon. Additionally, its move pool contains nearly twice as many Dragon-type moves as Flying. A Dragon-type STAB would be far more useful for Gyarados.<\/p>\n

Gyarados’\u00a0design is similar to dragons in Chinese mythology. Known as\u00a0teng<\/em><\/a>, these creatures are indeed capable of flight; however, considering\u00a0its\u00a0inspiration\u00a0and appearance, Dragon makes more sense as a secondary typing for this Pokemon.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Celebi’s Typing Should Reflect Its Inspiration<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

When\u00a0picturing a fairy, most people imagine a humanoid figure with delicate wings flitting through a woodland landscape. In other words, they picture something very much like Celebi. Considering this,\u00a0a Fairy\/Grass typing seems a better fit for it than Psychic\/Grass.<\/p>\n

As the Ilex Forest’s protector, Celebi\u00a0invokes stories of pixies and dryads. This mythical Pokemon<\/a> draws on ancient fairy myths, as well as elements from Japanese Shintoism. In both lore and design, Celebi epitomizes the idea of a fairy\u2014yet it\u00a0doesn’t possess this type.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Vibrava Has No Reason To Be Ground-Type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There’s nothing in Vibrava’s design or lore that justifies\u00a0its Ground\/Dragon typing. Bug makes a much more logical\u00a0primary type for\u00a0this Pokemon, considering that\u00a0it\u00a0appears to be based on dragonflies.<\/p>\n

It seems that Vibrava is only Ground-type because its previous form, Trapinch, is also Ground-type. However,\u00a0that\u00a0evolutionary leap\u00a0is also bizarre. Vibrava and it final form, Flygon, look nothing like the first stage in their line<\/a>. Logically, Vibrava and Flygon\u00a0should be Bug\/Dragon types, perhaps unrelated to Trapinch in the first place.<\/p>\n
