Normal/Rock
Normal/Ice
Normal/Steel
This is begging for a Regirock, Regice, Registeel inspired trio of Pokemon I feel.
Normal/Rock
Normal/Ice
Normal/Steel
So Gen 9 added seven new type combinations, and as of now these are the only nine unused ones:
Normal/Rock
Normal/Ice
Normal/Steel
Normal/Bug
Fairy/Ground
Fire/Fairy
Ice/Poison
Ghost/Rock
Dragon/Bug
I imagine we might finally have every possible combination by Gen 10, unless they add a new type. Still, some of these seem like such obvious combos it's wild they still haven't been used, like Fire/Fairy, Ghost/Rock and Dragon/Bug. Normal/Steel is probably the weirdest one, the two types are basically opposites design-wise, so curious how they'd make that work.
Those last five seem so obvious, surprised we haven't got there yet.
Ice/Poison could be based on ancient bacteria being preserved in ice (maybe a new take on the fossil mon).
Ghost/Rock has had some many chances to happen and always goes Ghost/Ground instead lol. Dragon/Bug.... Flygon and Yanmega were robbed.
Our first Grass/Fire mon was a FLOP though, so that's a shame.
Construction worker humanoid that hits you with a steel girder.Normal/Steel is probably the weirdest one, the two types are basically opposites design-wise, so curious how they'd make that work.
Why do all the evolutions this Gen feel very.. Gen 1 in their execution? It’s all very Magnemite and Muk in the sense that the only thing that changes is the number of them or the color.

Ninetails always read more part Ghost (or Psychic) to me especially with access to many Ghost moves and being based on a Kitsune.I'm still surprised Ninetales wasn't retconned as Fire/Fairy when Fairy was introduced, and them giving Fairy to Alolan Ninetales makes it make even less sense. The Fairy part of their design/inspiration applies to both equally.
People who liked Dunsparce all these years were very into it as it was, there was truly no better option for an evolution than to just make it more Dunsparce. Why risk ruin its appeal? People wishing for a grandiose dragon/phoenix/fairy thing were totally missing the point… it’s a joke Pokémon based on a joke yokai. It’s not supposed to be cool.
So just a variant of the Timburr line?Construction worker humanoid that hits you with a steel girder.
Runerigus not being Rock/Ghost is so bizarre.
