I have thought about the pollution trio so often. Muk should be poison water for water pollution, Weezing should be poison flying for air pollution, and Garbodor should be poison ground for land pollution.
That makes so much sense. And the water pollution part explains why you can fish up grimer in celadon city even though it’s not a fish or other water Pokémon
@@vincentleonard3797 Yeah but as Luxray demonstrates, the colors aren't the best way to figure these things. I mean has there ever been an official statement?
I actually like the gimmick of the Timburr line gaining a different secondary typing based on what they are holding. It’s never been done, but that’s the one line where it makes sense
I've had this thought as well. Fighting/Grass for Timburr, Fighting/Steel for Gurdurr, and Fighting/Rock for Conkeldurr would be neat, especially because of the generation the line was released in. These typings match those of the Swords of Justice, which are also from gen 5, and it would be a great showcase of the eviolite, which was also added in gen 5, to have Gurdurr have the best defensive typing of the three.
Yeah Timburr could be part grass cos of the log, gurdurr could be part steel cos of the literal steel beam it carries, and conkeldurr bring rock or ground type makes perfect sense since concrete is a hardened form of both
@@Sleeper800conkeldurr being fighting/ground also makes sense since concrete is usually put onto the ground and thus becomes ground itself when it sets
I could tell Mikey had a lot of fun making this video. The reasoning for some of the types was quite amusing…especially for Miltank “IT’S EVIL AND I HATE IT.”
“Alolan Persian is Dark Grass because can’t be normal type because of normal Persian so it wields the power of the Watermelon it swallowed” is one of the best things Mikey has ever said
He did say some pokemon weren't meant to be Duel Type. Although Dark doesn't fit Luxray at all because it literally has Light in its name and isn't cruel or use underhanded tactics. In fact, it even uses its X-Ray vision to find its Young. Fighting would fit better tbh
Love how Seaking becomes fairy type because ‘it has a horn so it reminds me of galarian rapidash’ yet kanto rapidash, who is also literally a unicorn, gets normal type lmao
I love how many times in this video Mikey stops and goes "listen this does not need a second typing but i have to come up with something" like he's trapped by his own premise 😂
then he gets triggered at new designs because he saw some redditors raging at starters and thought it was some general opinion to get brownie points on
Yeah like I get that fire chicken is a fighter but it's also a literal bird. Scorbunny probably should be ground because it is all about the playing field and field manipulation.
Another fun idea: What if the Normal type didn't exist? All dual type Normal types would keep its other type, and all pure Normal types would get one or two new types.
Fun fact about Rock/Ground types - despite how common they feel, the most recent new line with Rock/Ground Pokemon was Larvitar & Pupitar in Gen 2. The only other rock/ground Pokemon introduced later was Rhyperior, a member of a Gen 1 line.
Soooo... Pink = Fairy Lizard = Dragon Does something remotely bad: Dark Wields anything metallic: Steel Looks like it can throw hands: Fighting Definitely missing a few

Normally I’d be inclined to root for the smaller channel in situations like this but I gotta agree I think Cubone is just bitter that Mikey gets the views. I’ve seen at least 2 other people cover this topic and I don’t see him calling them out for it? Is it just because they have even less views than him? He’s made a few comments about how Mikey ‘ignores’ him too idk I’m just getting weirdo vibes from it like he wants the ‘famous’ guy to notice him. His channel covered this topic 3 years ago so it’s not as if it’s been making the rounds recently or going viral enough to be in everyones radar and in my opinion it’s not exactly a niche topic either??? Plenty of discussion has surrounded dual typing and single typing on the internet in general for a long time Cubone just seems to have been one of the first (or THE first) to actually make a video on it. I wouldn’t say it’s so obscure that it’s obvious Mikey just copied it 🤔 imo it’s just coincidental, tbf I’m not a huge fan of either of them prefer other poketubers but I do think Cubone is wrong on this and unfortunately because of how popular Mikey is he just gets more views regardless of what his video is about 🤷🏼♀️
@g0blingirll You know, when he said it in the video, I thought he might've just been joking, but in the comments, he's going all in on it. I mean, he really seems to think that Mikey intentionally plagiarized him.
Idk why but every time he added a flying type to a mon, I couldn’t help but imagine team sky smiling in some other room watching Mikey and cheering like: “Espeon will be psychic, flying” And then in another room. “YEAAAAAHHHHHH WOOOOOO!!”
I like to think that Mikey's in team sky and that's why he's the one to promote the merch and let new people join in Aspitpiay, because that's his job. (I also like to think that he gets paid more bc they're close friends) so this is perfect for those thoughts
For the timbur line, they can be pure fighting but can the type is dependant on what it holds maybe like without the log, timbur would be pure fighting
He doesnt think anything, he uses safe jokes and repeats circlejerks he reads on reddit, hes even pretending to hate on half the starters now because he saw half a dozen ledditors crying about the bipedal ones existing so hes trying to fit in too

20:36 I just wanna point out that while technically there isn't a three stage line that has three separate types, Nincada has a branched evolution that all three have different dual types (Nincada Bug/Ground, Ninjask Bug/Flying, Shedinja Bug/Ghost)
Building on this logic, Swablu is Normal/Flying, Altaria is Dragon/Flying, and Mega Altaria is Dragon/Fairy. Normal replaced by Dragon, then Flying replaced by Fairy.
28:41 I agree. Zeraora has been my favorite Pokémon for at least a year and I have always thought that it should be electric fighting for basically the same reason as yours.
I like how half of these are types that they should’ve been in the first place and make it more cool, but the other half is just grasping at any straw available
Personally I think Fairy makes most sense with Serp mainly because it's called the regal pokemon and Fairy mons can be for both innocent/mischievous little buggers or royal/elegant mons which Serp is and also because Contrary Fleur Canon would go crazy
@@Switchloid its gonna be the volcarona ban all over again, heatran's the only mon that can stop this and if serp tera grounds all hell will break loose
I love how much work you put into these. I mean you might have all the Dex entries memorized at this point but it's just great to see your thought process on all this. Thanks!!
that fairy type ditto would actually become a menace, switching into it from a dragon type move with its hidden ability to immediately become a copy would be an amazing way to take out a dragon threat with something like a choice scarf
For Lycanrock's Dusk Form, I think there's an even closer connection to the ghost type. In some mythologies, dusk is said to be the time when the veil separating the worlds of the living and the dead is the thinnest, making contact possible. Being able to contact the dead sounds like a ghost typing to me
Funny thing about Xurkitree, I THINK it was supposed to be a Grass type at some point, because last time I remember was using it, the NPC trainers just strangely kept using Fire type moves on it I might be misremembering, but hey, it makes more sense than Steel I'd think. It learns Power Whip right at the get-go (when you capture it), and well, it turns into a tree
Having it be part Steel makes sense since its overall design is meant to resemble a bundle of wires and cables. Either way, NPCs supposedly using Fire moves makes sense on both counts
I actually think the Timbur-Concledur line all having different secondary types would be really cool, and give each one a different niche in various formats/metas.
Funny how i literally thought about this in the shower a few days ago. I also considered if every pokemon had only one type, but i don't know how that would play out
I think some mons would just hafta be removed if all only had one type. Toxtricity is the first i think of, cuz it literally is poison and electric, you cant choose just one
kyogre being water electric so that groudon has something on it seems nice but it also sounds incredibly broken to give it STAB rain thunder and cancelling its weakness to opposing thunders lmao
Pearls aren't rocks despite being used in similar ways as gemstones, they come from living creatures, specifically mollusks, especially aquatic ones Palkia is a water type because it's got pearls on its body, that could be done for Grumpig if it absolutely *needed* a second type
I think so too. I just watched it and that's pretty much all his comments are talking about. Honestly I didn't even think of a video of his when Mikey posted this
@@ladyoracle2268 idk why Cubone is bitching. this topic is something that everyone would do. it’s not like “beating Pokémon how Nintendo attended” that’s more creative and deserve credit or an acknowledgment. Michael could’ve easily thought of this idea without some lowkey Poketuber video from 3 years ago.
I’ll admit Cubone did it better but it was years ago and there were minor differences. But more then anything just seeing the comments made me retro-actively sick of cubone. Tho I do have to wonder E-C’s age..😵💫😵💫. I like or well Liked different things from MaJtv and Cubone but now its just.. Cubone may need to just calm down or something. Could be something behind the scenes but still.
Ninetales should totally be a Fire/Ghost: Learns a ton of ghost moves, was literally created via the souls of saints, has so many magical/spirtual elements to it's lore, curses people, and is based on a Kitsune: an often maleomenvnt spirit/deomn supernatural creature. Plus, that Fire/Ghost compliments it's Alolan Ice/Fairy type well.
12:31 dark type makes sense because his pokemon sapphire dex entry says "Glalie has the ability to freely control ice. For example, it can instantly freeze its foe solid. After immobilizing its foe in ice, this Pokémon enjoys eating it in leisurely fashion" that sounds very Dark IMO
1:11 If you aren't aware (I'm surprised Mikey didn't mention it so maybe he wasn't aware either), Ninetales is a Kitsune, a Yo-Kai from japanese folklore. It's often depicted as a malevolent fox spirit with 9 tails that uses fire and illusions. And Yo-Kai in Pokémon like Froslass the Yuki-Onna for example are often Ghost types since they're spirits, so the Ghost type makes sense for Ninetales. Not only that, but it also learns Ghost Type moves like Spite and Confuse Ray naturally as a Vulpix.
@@Aceofknowledge101 Yes I know, and well a lot of Yo-Kai are neither of those types. Like Mawile or Revavroom and well, as you said, Shiftry and Lombre. Though Lombre is not a Dark type.

28:41 I agree. Zeraora has been my favorite Pokémon for at least a year and I have always thought that it should be electric fighting for basically the same reason as yours.
I like how half of these are types that they should’ve been in the first place and make it more cool, but the other half is just grasping at any straw available
Mickey: "Suicune would gain the-
Me: Oh surely it's ice! Everyone complains about it not being an ice type normally.
Mickey: -FLYING"

"He is the Messiah!" -Crowd, Life of Brian.
@yusheitslv100 "He's NOT The Messiah. He's a VERY naughty boy!" - Brian's Mother
I like how so many of these are just “this Pokemon is kinda mean, dark type”
21:31 "I know gold isn't steel"
Gholdengo: Are you sure about that?
Serperior gaining access to Contrary Draco Meteor with a dragon typing would make me so happy
I like that your profile pic is Delta Serperior from Pokemon Insurgence
It'd make up for being killed by sitting in a room that's 5 degrees celsius for 30 minutes.
Personally I think Fairy makes most sense with Serp mainly because it's called the regal pokemon and Fairy mons can be for both innocent/mischievous little buggers or royal/elegant mons which Serp is and also because Contrary Fleur Canon would go crazy
@@Switchloid I'm sold that sounds awesome. And Fleur cannon would fit the french royal serpent perfectly
@@Switchloid its gonna be the volcarona ban all over again, heatran's the only mon that can stop this and if serp tera grounds all hell will break loose
I love how much work you put into these. I mean you might have all the Dex entries memorized at this point but it's just great to see your thought process on all this. Thanks!!
that fairy type ditto would actually become a menace, switching into it from a dragon type move with its hidden ability to immediately become a copy would be an amazing way to take out a dragon threat with something like a choice scarf
4:10 sassy editor moments are my favorite moments
Great vid, love when you cover quirky, not thought of before topics!

Michael has never died, is a vessel of type-oriented souls, and has cursed in the past.
BUT HEY, THATS JUST A THEORY, A GAAAAA-
-AAMME THEORY!!!!
THANKS FOR WATCHING
For Lycanrock's Dusk Form, I think there's an even closer connection to the ghost type. In some mythologies, dusk is said to be the time when the veil separating the worlds of the living and the dead is the thinnest, making contact possible. Being able to contact the dead sounds like a ghost typing to me
This myth is even repeated at the start of Twilight Princess.
Could you do the opposite? What if every Pokemon was mono-type? It would be easy for some Pokemon but not others!
Mikey: "It's a literal wind chime"
Also Mikey: *gives it normal instead of flying type*
Because Wind chimes provide the sound not the wind
Because it already has Levitate, so it just needed something to cover the Sound.
@@Robin280497 fair enough
30:30 Now we need another form of Polteageist that is Ghost/Fire, like a hot coco one
Funny thing about Xurkitree, I THINK it was supposed to be a Grass type at some point, because last time I remember was using it, the NPC trainers just strangely kept using Fire type moves on it
I might be misremembering, but hey, it makes more sense than Steel I'd think. It learns Power Whip right at the get-go (when you capture it), and well, it turns into a tree
Having it be part Steel makes sense since its overall design is meant to resemble a bundle of wires and cables. Either way, NPCs supposedly using Fire moves makes sense on both counts
Imagine a trio of Delibird, Wyrdeer, and Xurkitree lol.
I actually think the Timbur-Concledur line all having different secondary types would be really cool, and give each one a different niche in various formats/metas.
I love how through the video Mikey slowly descends into madness but at gen 9 he's just calm
Another thing about Umbreon being part poison is that it was originally gonna be a Poison type instead of Dark in Gold and Silver Beta
I need someone to make an “Ooops All Dual Types” rom hack with this setup now.
You were a huge part in my childhood and i thank you for that especially since your still here, respect ❤
8:23 milk man Mike was holding him hostage in this moment
Funny how i literally thought about this in the shower a few days ago. I also considered if every pokemon had only one type, but i don't know how that would play out
I think some mons would just hafta be removed if all only had one type. Toxtricity is the first i think of, cuz it literally is poison and electric, you cant choose just one
@@TheGodIvy maybe make the yellow one electric and the blue one poison?
"Alolan Persian would be Dark/Grass [...] it wields the power of the watermelon it swallowed"
the way I cackled
Same 😂
kyogre being water electric so that groudon has something on it seems nice but it also sounds incredibly broken to give it STAB rain thunder and cancelling its weakness to opposing thunders lmao
me who organizes boxes by types: *sobs uncontrollably*
You use the first type only and nothing changes
Let’s make all Pokémon dual types. **Adds dark type**
I love the fact we can say he's literally being sincere when giving the types, it's so convincing and make me agree with all
Nice types my dude, also I'M LAUGHING at the Miltank intro "It's Evil and I hate it!"
You shoulda made Ditto Normal/Psychic, due to the _extremely_ common fan theory that Ditto was a failed Mew clone.
Emperor Cubone has a really great series based around this same concept that I’d recommend checking out!
10:56
"Black pearls on its body to mind control"
Me: "Oh so rock-"
Mikey: "dark"
Me:..........
Pearls make a Pokemon water type in Pokemon
Pearls aren't rocks despite being used in similar ways as gemstones, they come from living creatures, specifically mollusks, especially aquatic ones
Palkia is a water type because it's got pearls on its body, that could be done for Grumpig if it absolutely *needed* a second type
We need to talk about Emperor Cubone's newest video...
I think so too. I just watched it and that's pretty much all his comments are talking about. Honestly I didn't even think of a video of his when Mikey posted this
You think he's just trying to stir tea?
@@ladyoracle2268 idk why Cubone is bitching. this topic is something that everyone would do. it’s not like “beating Pokémon how Nintendo attended” that’s more creative and deserve credit or an acknowledgment. Michael could’ve easily thought of this idea without some lowkey Poketuber video from 3 years ago.
I’ll admit Cubone did it better but it was years ago and there were minor differences. But more then anything just seeing the comments made me retro-actively sick of cubone. Tho I do have to wonder E-C’s age..😵💫😵💫. I like or well Liked different things from MaJtv and Cubone but now its just..
Cubone may need to just calm down or something. Could be something behind the scenes but still.
Ninetales should totally be a Fire/Ghost: Learns a ton of ghost moves, was literally created via the souls of saints, has so many magical/spirtual elements to it's lore, curses people, and is based on a Kitsune: an often maleomenvnt spirit/deomn supernatural creature. Plus, that Fire/Ghost compliments it's Alolan Ice/Fairy type well.
12:31
dark type makes sense because his pokemon sapphire dex entry says
"Glalie has the ability to freely control ice. For example, it can instantly freeze its foe solid. After immobilizing its foe in ice, this Pokémon enjoys eating it in leisurely fashion"
that sounds very Dark IMO
1:11 If you aren't aware (I'm surprised Mikey didn't mention it so maybe he wasn't aware either), Ninetales is a Kitsune, a Yo-Kai from japanese folklore. It's often depicted as a malevolent fox spirit with 9 tails that uses fire and illusions.
And Yo-Kai in Pokémon like Froslass the Yuki-Onna for example are often Ghost types since they're spirits, so the Ghost type makes sense for Ninetales.
Not only that, but it also learns Ghost Type moves like Spite and Confuse Ray naturally as a Vulpix.
They are dark types too.. Since Shiftry should be a tengu and Lombre should be a kappa
@@Aceofknowledge101 Yes I know, and well a lot of Yo-Kai are neither of those types. Like Mawile or Revavroom and well, as you said, Shiftry and Lombre. Though Lombre is not a Dark type.
@@Okeana_Aster oh.. Yeah, I forgot that
my favorite mandjtv videos are the ones where mikey yaps for the better half of an hour
