The Pokémon world has many unique and powerful creatures that many fans are eager to have battle alongside them. Whether that Pokémon is a legendary fearsome beast or one that's cute and cuddly, there's an abundance of options for people to choose from in this world.
Despite the variety of creatures trainers can catch, many have issues with the franchise. Some complaints may stem from new rules established for future games, while others can be as minuscule as typing decisions. It'd be intriguing to highlight the Pokémon who should receive different typings.
10 Delcatty's A Pokémon That Loves Putting On A Show More Than Pokémon Battling, Which Is Why It Should Be A Fairy Type
Although Delcatty may not be among the strong felines in anime, it's a Pokémon whose theatrical attitude and whimsical charm would make it better suited as a fairy type. Despite Skitty evolving into Delcatty with a Moon Stone, it'd be better for The Pokémon Company to retcon its evolution process.
The Delcatty species don't love battling and choose to perform and boast its cute charms in Pokemon contests rather than strain a muscle in a Pokémon battle. It's a Pokémon that enjoys resting, having an attitude, and strutting its stuff, making it feel more akin to fairyPokémon like Sylveon than others.
9 Changing Spinda's Normal Typing To A Psychic Typing Would Give It An Edge Over Fighting Type Pokémon & It Would Make Visual Sense
Spinda might not be on many fans' radar regarding the Hoenn Pokémon they'd like to exist, but its design and lore will make many questions why it's not a psychic type. For starters, Spinda's swirly eyes match with the emotions concerning confusion and mind control since most swirly objects in media are used to mesmerize people.
In the Pokémon world, Spinda's signature attack, Teeter Dance, allows it to confuse its foes for several turns, imitating the idea of mind control psychics use in fantastical media. Not only that, but a psychic Pokémon typing would give Spinda an edge up on speedy fighting type Pokémon like Breloom and others.
8 The Fighting Typing Will Allow Ambipom To Defend Itself Against Other Monkey Pokémon Like Passimian
Despite being one of the strongest monkey Pokémon in the franchise, Ambipom's normal-typing doesn't benefit it much outside of helping it be a decent counter toward ghost-type Pokémon attacks. Considering the Pokémon lore emphasizes Ambipom's strength and fighting style, it feels farfetched for Ambipom not to be a fighting type Pokémon instead.
Ambipom is a Pokémon that loves using its tails to dish out damage, akin to how Hitmonlee loves using his feet to lay a beat down on an enemy instead of its hands. Considering the Ambipom species grudge against the Passimian species, it would benefit the creature to have the Pokémon type that''ll help it defend itself against its rival.
7 Dunsparce May Look Like A Serpent, But It Has Many Visual Characteristics That Make It Feel More Like A Bug Type Pokémon
The Pokémon universe contains some of the scariest monsters in anime regarding Hypno, Gengar, and others that wish to harm humans. In contrast, many Pokémon tend to be calm and complacent around folks, and Dunsparce is one of them. Dunsparce's missing bug typing would have fans in an array instead of its size and appearance.
Despite having some serpent-like features, Dunsparce's design resembles many characteristics people often compare with bugs and other insects. It also has tiny wings that allow it to fly, and it enjoys burrowing itself inside the dirt, which is where many bugs tend to inhabit like other ground-loving creatures.
6 Florges Should Be A Grass Type Considering Its Connection With Gardens & How It Follows The Plant-Based Pokémon Trend
Although Florges's fairy typing allows it to triumph over many dragon Pokémon for type resistances and weakness exploit purposes, its design feels more akin to other plant-based grass-type Pokémon. Since those Pokémon are elegantly depicted plants with no fairy typing, it would make sense for Florges to follow the same path.
It's a Pokémon that can learn many grass-type attacks and loves to spend its time around gardens. Not only that but the Florges species also loves generating energy from wandering insects. Even if fans argue it's Shiny Stone gives it a reason to be a fairy type, many will find it odd that it's not a grass type.
5 Musharna's Dreamy Yet Disturbing Mist Makes It Feel More Like A Take On Dark Fairy Tales, Which Is Why It Should Be A Fairy Type
Musharna may look like a Pokémon that would not battle, but it's a Pokémon with a strange mythos that seems more fitting for a fairy typing rather than psychic. For starters, Musharna's dreamy mist-like substance will give fans more of a fantastical and magical feeling more than a psychic one.
Visuals aside, Musharna's a creature that likes to devour the dreams of many people and Pokémon using its mist. It's a Pokémon that adores preying on people, and due to its dreamy and magical nature, it'd be an intriguing take on dark fairytale-like creatures if it were a fairy type.
4 Gigalith Could Become A Great Pokémon To Use Against Electric Types If It Were A Ground Type Pokémon
Gigalith is a Pokémon that would wreak havoc in the real world if it existed but would benefit from switching to a ground type instead of staying as a rock type. Not only would Gigalith serve as a sort of thunder-resistant wall against speedy electric type Pokémon, but it would coincide with its lore in the Pokemon world.
The Gigalith species are notorious for unleashing energy capable of blowing away mountains and being a creature praised for its hardiness. It'd be better for it to be a ground type to give Gigalith more type resistances and attacks to utilize on the battlefield.
3 Lurantis's Resemblance To Praying Mantis Creatures Will Have Many Questioning Why It's Not A Bug Type
Despite resembling a praying mantis in design and having a name that's an homage to the creatures of that variety, Lurantis isn't a bug-type Pokémon. It's a Pokémon that uses its flower aesthetics to lure wandering victims in and one that loves to attack its victims with its sharp scythes.
Despite being a plant that follows in the type vein-like Roserade and others, Lurantis possesses bug-like eyes, praying mantis scythes, and carnivores traits that will make players think it's a bug despite it being a grass type. It'd be best to make Lurantis a bug type because it wouldn't have advantages over many grass Pokémon, but it would help ease fans knowing that a bug-looking Pokémon fits its typing.
2 Comfey's An Inanimate Object Pokémon That Would Work Well As A Grass Type Considering It Depends On Its Flowers
Although a hovering and breathing fairy-type Hawaiian lei Pokémon is an intriguing design concept, Comfey feels like a Pokémon that should've been a grass type to coincide with Pokémon like Bellossom. Despite it making sense from an inanimate object coming to life aspect, Comfey's flowery prescience and lore would argue against it.
For instance, Comfey's a Pokémon who needs flowers for comfort and to defend itself, or else it would lose confidence and panic. It's also a Pokémon that relies on its flowers to spread its oil to its allies for healing purposes.
1 Lopunny's Feisty Footwork And Sense For Danger Will Make Fans Question Why It's Not A Pure Fighting Type
When people expect Pokémon to evolve into powerful creatures, many assume they will inherit typings that'll coincide with their personality, appearance, and skills. Lopunny may get the fighting typing after it mega evolves, but it's a Pokémon that should've had it in the first place.
In the Pokémon world, the Lopunny species love to monitor their surroundings and unleash devastating kick attacks that could subdue their rivals in hopes of escaping or shoeing them away. It's a Pokémon that may fear danger but can lay a devastating blow on its foes with many fighting-type attacks regarding its feet and other characteristics.
