Despite the 1,000+ Pokémon we have yet to see every possible type combination in the games, and while there are much fewer outstanding pairings than before some are still far less likely than others! So let's take a look at all types that have yet to be combined (or lack a singular dedicated form) and rank them from least likely to make the cut to most prominent, must-have typings in the next games!

    For a lot of the normal type combos, I can imagine a Pokemon starting off as a pure normal, then gaining the extra type after evolving into their final form.
  • @TiagoNomad
    If Houndstone were Rock/Ghost, it could’ve been the signature Pokémon of both Tyme and her sister Ryme. It’d make sense.
  • Fire/Electric would be a plasma pokemon. Would be fitting for Gen 5 Remake.
  • @alexgrissom3513
    Since normal is often seen as the pseudo sound type by GF, I think Kricketune is a great retro fit option for a bug/normal type
  • @RyuuSix
    Kind of a missed opportunity to not introduce a Fairy/Ground Pokemon for Lacey, a Fairy type specialist, who is the daughter of Clay, a Ground type specialist.
  • @RoninCatholic
    The fact that the Vulpix line weren't retroactively given the Fairy type when Fairy was added is a crime. A double crime when they added the Fairy type to the Ice variant from Alola!
  • Another one that is "technically" covered but needs more, fire/water. It's just on Volcanion, a mythical that you can't really get anymore.

    Normal Rock/Ice/Steel could be used for a variant of the classic regis which makes them close to regigigas. It could also give the classic regis a signature move.
  • @RoyvanG
    I think Normal/Steel could be an animal-like Pokemon that gathers scrap metal to coat itself (kinda like the Burmy line). That way both types get represented without resorting to an animal made of steel. Maybe it could get a unique ability where if it's below 50% of its max HP, it loses the armor, as well as the Steel typing, but gains a speed boost in return? The Normal/Rock combination could be similar, perhaps even a branched evolution of a pure normal base form.
  • @domidoodleYT
    In addition to all these, I’d also like to see all the legendary exclusive types be used on more easily available regular Pokemon
  • @umwha
    A 'Rhinoserous beetle' is a great idea for a Bug-Normal!
  • @TheChefCain
    Some combos really need revisiting, like Arctozolt being the only ice/electric pokemon. That combination has so much more potential than what Arctozolt is.
  • @temple475
    9:52 Rock type does not work on Runerigus, as it and Galarian yamask are supposed to represent the clay runes and since clay in Pokémon is associated with ground thus it's a Ground/Ghost type
  • @matthewaaron2724
    4:26 Oh hey, DragonTales! I remember that show! Wasn't expe--- 4:30 A NEOPETS REFERENCE TOO?!? Wow. Two unexpected references I appreciate... in the same video.. in the same section... over the same type combination? I don't normally comment on these videos, but I had to stop by and say thanks for making my day - twice - in the span of *four seconds*. That was amazing. :D
  • Normal to me has always been somewhat of a "Beast" type, like mainly mammals, along with a few birds (WINGED Beasts), but I think it is still very possible to fuse such things with bugs, like some parasitically-infected aardvark/anteater or something
  • @princeflame295
    Dude all the references in the cutaways are so good! Digimon, yugioh, neopets? I love the effort you’re putting in with all these Easter eggs. Great work!!
  • @indy63_24
    Hey high key kind of depressed right now. I just want you to know that just hearing this intro music and your chipper voice really gave me a boost. Thanks for posting such great content
  • @Toadiferous
    Normal/Bug would be cool as a bug based on the Hemiptera order of bugs, also known as "True Bugs" Also we should note that GameFreak clearly isn't just trying to check type boxes off (otherwise there would be less combinations left), so I don't think something like Rotom-Heat or Mega Altaria existing makes another that share their type any less likely than something they weren't gonna put in anyway. It's cool though how the Ultra Beasts and Paradox mons have really expanded some of the less common combos into permanent mons. PokeDoku has really made it clear how many new mons there are of previously unique typings.
  • I still don’t count the Rotom forms purely because when they came out in gen four they were all ghost electric and just gained a move. They don’t stop being ghosts to me. And also I badly wanted steel and poison and even with scarlet and violet giving us this and I am still sadly left wanting.
  • @Nako3
    If they make Normal/Rock they better give the mon an ability that makes it immune to fighting type attacks.
