Pokémon with Confusing Types
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2015
- Every Pokémon has a type or 2. Most of the time they make perfect sense. Other times, they make us scratch our head. Let's take a look at some Pokémon with types that make close to no sense.

Dialga, palkia and giratina all represent solid, liquid and gas, that's why their typing is so confusing
Oxbinoo I never noticed that association before! Though that does lead me to wonder why time isn’t the liquid, while having space as the solid.
is arceus plasma
@@wegs1756 yeah
Palkia is based on space and space is ever changing like water
And for lugia
Soul silver
Sudowoodo's name is a combination of 'pseudo', meaning fake, and wood, which means it's 'fake wood', like a petrified tree

“first stage starters should not be dual type”
Rowlet: hahaha lol what did you say?
ahem look at the post date of the video
@@vankhanhtran3747 Lol
@@vankhanhtran3747 I was going to say that.But still its funny
U guys forgot one it’s bulbasaur with grass poison
@@_C4RB0N_ are you stupid? He said mentioned it in the video
It make sense for Gastly to be ghost/poison because the poison type comes from the fact that 95% of its body is comprised of poisonous gases.
YES THANK YOU!
But being the first and only ghost pokemon from his time, wouldn't it make sense for him to be pure ghost?
@@xcedtrickx there was no pure Steel types in Gen 2 either
@@robertlupa8273 but there were a range of typings that included steel. In gen 1 there were a ridiculous amount of poison types already, so the poison typing on the only ghost type available really nerfs it. Especially when the typing for both poison and ghost were physical for the first 3 gens, making Gengar's STAB moves suck. Ghost was supposed to be the counter to the OP psychic type but the poison typing really gimped it
Haunter and Gengar, however, do not. Gen 1 has a lot more blatant oversights than just the types of Haunter and Gengar.
Since Gyardos is primarily based on Chinese Water Dragons, many have a mystical power to fly.
Gyarados have NO excuse to be Water/Flying and should be instead Water/Dragon EASILY.
Granted.... back in gen 1... that would made Gyarados with NO WEAKNESSES given the only dragon move back then was fixed damaging move called "Dragon Rage".
Back since certain typing was changed in both moves and pokemon e.g.: Bite = Normal (changed into Dark) and Magnemite being just Electric (got Steel typing to it)
There was NO EXCUSE for them to keep Gyarados' flying typing given they expanded the dragon movepool.
Hell! No even mega corrects this and instead gives it Dark typing....
Those guys at gamefreak really dont know what they are doing....
Plus not to mention...... it cant learn move "FLY".
How many flying moves Gyarados does learn?!?!?!?!
2....... 2 FLYING SODDING MOVES!!!!
What a waste....
You are fACUTALLY INCORRECT
It's based on a Japanese myth
samantha bird no. Its from chinese myth. Youre so stupid
Its not a dragon type because the dragon type was "too overpowered" in gen 1. I mean if the people who actually wanted to train a Magicarp, people say the worst pokemon, they would get a present a.k.a. gyarados a very powerful pokemon.
Gastly is a Poison type, because it is literally called the "Poison Gas Pokemon", and it uses poisonous gases when attacking. When Gastly evolves, it still keeps the Poison type.
But it IS gas
Why can't it learn poison gas then?
Poison in the pokemon world could also represent death and corruption.
@@hojni5169 The same reason it learns Ice Punch and Fire Punch.
Nintendo staff like to do drugs
Sharpfang 50 it’s not called the poison gas Pokémon it’s just called the gas Pokémon what you’re thinking of is called Koffing
Imagine just going about ur day, just as usual, when suddenly u see a Gyrodos literally flying amongst the birds and planes and such. A GYRODOS
its Gyrados..
And in Sword and Shield, Ash and Goh ride Lugia surfing and diving undersea
You mean Pokemon journeys?
@@Nemesiswiththesauce ye
this video was made 5 years ago wdym?
Lugia is a solid, palkia is a liquid, and giritena is a gas. Boom that is why lugia is not water typa
@@cmonkey3742 you mean dialga
Wasn’t sure if you were aware of this. But Sudowoodo is basically Pseudo Wood. It’s a play in saying fake wood.
New subscriber. Loving the channel
Yup which is why it doesnt like to be watered
It's a rock that pretends to be a tree so it can avoid miners. I don't know why that would help...
BombheadGames you don't see a miner walking around in a forest do you?
Nicholas Wall why would you subscribe 0.1 seconds of typing after you pointed out the fact that aura has no fucking clue what he's talking about
I meant there are still people who cut down trees for wood. It wasn't worded too well but that's what I meant. They can still be harvested.
Well Gastly Is The Posion Gas Pokemon........So It Makes Sense For Him To Have The Typing.....But Haunter And Gengar Dont Really Deserve It.......They Deserve Dark Type
They do deserve the dark type, but poison still applies to them
EggCore, don’t forget the fact that Dark wasn’t introduced until Generation II.
Kawaiitron Plays they could’ve still added it like the Magnemite line got the steel type...
But They wont have a weakness if they had dark type
Gacha _Alex they would, Fairy would be their only weakness since Ghost doesn’t resist Fairy.
8:51
Palkia’s Water Type makes perfect sense.
You know Dialga is Steel/Dragon. It is because of Pokémon Diamond. Diamonds are supposed to be hard as steel.
And Palkia, being the mascot of Pokémon Pearl, you would most likely find pearls in water. So, there you go Alex.
Angie P u r e I know... I watched the other video...
The Vile Pile You’re wrong 😂😂
@@GalaxyPalkia Diamonds also resist the passage of Time, which is what Dialga represents and controls.
Equine Productions oh that’s cool. Well you see this is Pokémon, psychic beats poison, and it shouldn’t
I do believe the physics surrounding this question is more relevant than the name of the box art. As in Space exists in a liquid state if time is removed. I might be terribly wrong but none has ever figured out how to remove time from the equation so my argument is relative.
Lugia is not water type because back then a psychic type was known as a "strong" type, because you had pokemon like Alakazam, Mewtwo, Mew, and more. Palkia is part Water because it represents the liquid mater while dialga represents solids with the steel type and girantina represents gas with the ghost type. Hope this helped!
Psychic was nerfed in Gen 2 because of the introduction of Dark and Steel, so "strong type" was invalidated already from the beginning
Isn't Gastly called the Poison Gas Pokemon?
Andrew Karkane yes
its just the gas pokemon
Andrew Karkane yeah isn't he
Andrew Karkane yes it is. in fact, its the poison gas Pokemon that cant learn the move poison gas. just let that sink in.
Andrew Karkane yh
I thought Lugia was a water type at first too, but now I understand why it is a "PSYCHC" type. When it flaps its wings, it causes a disturbance in the air around it, so it decided to live underwater to not disturb humankind and Pokemon-kind.
isn't that a flying type thing
Poké-Bob1000 IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WATER PSYCHIC... THERE ARE NON FLYING TYPES THAT CAN LEARN FLY... TAKE LATIAS FOR EXAMPLE...
I think the reason why Lugia isn't a water type is because it originally lived in the Brass Tower before it burned down which means it didn't originally have anything to do with the sea or water, but the psychic typing is still a little confusing.
FlameBlade512 here ate the original pokedex entries for lugia
Gold: It is said that it quietly spends its time deep at the bottom of the sea because its powers are too strong. Silver: It is said to be the guardian of the seas. It is rumored to have been seen on the night of a storm. Crystal: It has an incredible ability to calm raging storms. It is said that Lugia appears when storms start. Stadium 2: It is said that it quietly spends its time deep at the bottom of the sea because its powers are too strong
They All Mention something to do with water
but now he disturbs the water around him.
Solgaleo
A Steel Psychic type
So to defeat Solgaleo
*SET FIRE TO THE SUN*
Ignacio Gonzalez I never thought about that
@@zerokitty-np6hf yeah when I used fire blast on a solgaleo in pokemon showdown and it said "its super effective!" I was like "w0t?" And needed to check his typing (I had moon so I didnt knew) and I sat hours questionning my existence
This is taking"fight fire with fire" to seriously
@@Idontknow-jd1wu humour 100
Ignacio Gonzalez correft, because fire types are good to steel types.
From Bulbapedia: Gyarados's Flying type may be a reference to koinobori, a carp-shaped windsock traditionally flown to celebrate Children's Day in Japan, formerly called Tango no Sekku (端午の節句). It could also be inspired by the South African cryptid Inkanyamba, a giant, winged eel that causes storms when angry, a trait Gyarados is famous for.
In episode 53, The Purr-fect Hero, we see a flagpole with several wind cones modeled after a Gyarados, Goldeen, and Magikarp. Just like the koinobori, in real life.
I always figured it was an attempt at balance. If Gyarados were Water/Dragon, it would essentially have no weaknesses in Generation 1. ^^
Aura: Bulbasaur is the only starter that begins with two types

It’s Pseudo Wood
You suck McBain!
It's literally called 'Pseudo Wood', and it evolves when it learn 'mimic'... couldn't be more clear that it's supposed to be a fake tree.
Seriously disappointed in this video.
Lucario's name is derived from a metal that is why it's steel (also the metal spikes it has)
I changed my name to Draco now I'm part dragon. :)
Yeah, it is called orichalcum
.
@@JustSomeKittenwithaGunYou are probably not a Pokémon, nor would your legal individual name matter if you, for some reason, are or have ever physically been one.
@@bubbykins4864 Then why do all these other Pokemon get shoehorned into a typing just because of their name?
GameFreak: (Uses confusing typings)
*It'S sUpEr EfFeCtIvE!*
Lucario gets its steel typing from the fact that it and Riolu get their name from "orichalcum", which is a mythical metal from ancient times, said to be one of the building materials for the city of Atlantis. Great video though.
+Speqtor Thanks Speqtor :) I actually covered that in another video haha
+TheAuraGuardian penis
+garin luff 😂 wtf
Couldn't you say its aura is a form of magnetism?
It still would've been nice if the Steel typing was incorporated into its design better instead of random spikes.
Ghastly is a ball of pollution. It builds off of that. It make sense
In that case, you could argue it makes less sense for Gastly to be ghost type (not Haunter or Gengar though)
@@CookieGal- I always interpreted Ghastly as a ghost that manifests in a way that causes pollution. It's essence is a ghost, but its existence carries poisonous traits.
Yeah, his is the only one that makes sense
AlphaElias 07 not after Gen I because the Dark type came out. Every evolution after that should have been dark type
But why are gengar and haunter poison?
They coudve done this
Ghastly=poison
Haunter=ghost
Gengar=ghost
I think it makes sense for Sudowoodo to be rock type.
The 'Sudo' part of Sudowoodo sounds like Psuedo which means false or fake. Combine that with the 'woodo' part and it means 'Fake Wood'
Oooh ao that's why it lost to a water type
I always associated Palkia’s water typing with the idea of space commonly being referred to as the ‘cosmic ocean’. There’s also the motif of space being fluid and constantly shifting.
Exeggcute stays together with psychic power. That's how it works
Jirachi is steel type because it's like wishing on a shooting star
What about psyduck and golduck
Idek that can't be excused
>unleasy psyduck against kadabra
"oh hai"
>do SE dmg to kadabra with psychic moves
>kadabra can't do shit to you because not weak to it
there's your answer
+Kazekai psychic is resistance to psychic
Not trying to be negative, and I definitely enjoyed the video! But...
Gyarados - Based on a Chinese dragon which don't have wings or always breathe fire.
Gastly line - Pokédex entry even states Gastly is a ball of toxic fumes.
Sudowoodo - Looking like something for your own protection doesn't make you share its physical qualities.
Lugia - Telepathy. Since there can't be 3 types, they had to chose from flying, water and psychic.
Palkia - The legendary representing Pearl. Pearls are formed underwater in clams. Water is 100% logical.
But dragon typing makes more sense for Gyarados when you realize, it doesn't learn flying moves.
Also, Lugia might have telepathic abilities, but it still lives in water, TCG it is water, and learns water-type moves. Lugia can be Psychic/Water.
Telepathy vs. every god damn sea references, looks and attacks learned
I think psychic wasn't the best choice.
+Mr. Loowiz that sounded like you contradicted your own statement.
What?
I don't know if anyone commented on this but Klefki makes sense, Klefki is based on the myths about little fairies stealing little objects like keys, and also in the old tradition of carrying steel amulets to stop fairies from stealing ^^ it's name also references this as it comes from kleptomaniac.
I do agree about Klefki. I originally thought it was ghost because the first time I ever encountered it was in Ultra Sun, during Acerola's trial... The ghost-type trial.
Klefki is a fairy type because long ago there was a tradition of blaming fairies for missing small objects. Klefki is a personification of this fairy tale.
I'm pretty sure Lugia used to be a water type but they changed it because "it had the advantage over Ho-Oh."
Ege Ulusoy not it governs the sea but isnt apart of it
Ege Ulusoy it makes a little sense that lugia is a psychic type because it "controls" the sea
Kyogre and groudon (not sure on spelling)
Jack Sturgess
Xerneas and Yveltal?
Well, I wonder who knows where Sudowoodo's name came from
It's Psuedo wood. Get it?
so it's literally a dildo
Gryphon Wilson I guess you could say that xD
+Gryphon Wilson dildo .... best name ever 10/10 for others not me XD
it comes from the greek *pseudo* and it means false. So it's fake wood, hence it doesn't like water.
Sudowoodo is based by the petrified trees.
To add to the confusion, Lugia can learn Hydro Pump via level up
Lugia makes perfect sense to not be Water type, because it didn't originally live in the sea, and left to Whirl Islands because it was too powerful. It's also stated in it's Pokédex entry that it uses its Psychic-type powers to control the sea, so yeah, no surprise here.
I have Lugia on my team and I forget what type it is constantly.
Lol
When I first saw it I thought it was a Water type but then I actually looked it up and I was so suprised!
***** yes lol
I actually sort Pokemon by type when boxing them, and i still put Lugia in the water box just so i can find it easier
In my heart of hearts i know Lugia is really water/psychic
+Deathnotefan97 sun and moon should do something to make lugia a water type
dialga steel typing is solid
palkia water typing is liquid
garatina ghost typing is gas
thats why palkia is a water type
it doesn't show any proof why palkia is.
Lol you are basically saying it's a water type because it is a water type. Really bad phrasing there, even if you are right
Those three legendaries represent solid, liquid, and gas.
Jizz He’s right.
For some reason when I was a kid I thought Sudowoodo was a fighting type XD
Same
It does learn a lot of fighting moves
"No other starter starts with two types!"

Well... Palkia's Typing makes more sense than it might seem, in my opinion. Let's think about the trio. All 3 pokemon are Dragon Types, and of course they are called "Dragon Trio" as well. But their secondary typing does actually make sense.
Giratina is the lord of the Distortion World, and it has a Ghost Type: this makes sense, because it's capabe of traveling within the dimensions, change its form, gaining ghost wings and stuff.
Dialga is the lord of Time, and it can travel over time. A Steel Type makes sense: the steel is a very durable alloy that can resist for years with no sign of deteriorations, so Dialga's steel body is necessary for him in order to stay unharmed after all those time travels.
Now let's try to apply this concept to Palkia: Palkia is the lord of space, it can teleport and manipulate the space itself to his liking. Now: between all pokemon typings, which fits Palkia the best? Which material can assume any form without being destroyed, thanks to its nature? Water. Its Water Type helps Palkia to survive and stay completely unharmed when manipulating space, as steel does for Dialga when manipulating time.
Also, since the trio represents the whole universe, it is possible that developers thought about let 'em represent the 3 stages of matter as well, with "Steel" representing "Solid", "Water" prepresenting "Liquid", and "Ghost" representing "Air"
All this lucubration does actually have a certain logic, or not? Let me know!
Davide Carrea one of the smartest people in the comments!
Well, Palkia is mascot of Pokémon Pearl, and natural pearls are mostly found in oysters that are underwater???
I don't know.
all 3 are based on matter solid, liquid and gas.
+Kinu FoxySpirit This also makes sense.
palkia makes sense because space is like a infinite ocean of stars.
lets not forget that the Moon is in space and the Moons controls the Earth's tides, and Palkia is the Pokemon of space
BUT THE SUNS ALSO IN SPACE
I think Gastly being a poison type makes sense since it is kinda just a ball of gas and in the pokemon world gas is kinda always (and in the real world sometimes) poisonous.
The reason why psychc types were immune to ghost types in gen one was because they somehow messed it up (my brother told me about it and explained why psychc types were op)
Psychic
Also yes it was a bug
(Pun not intended)
for everyone saying Palkia makes sense since he's the mascot for Pearl and pearls are underwater, i could use the same logic and technically say Kyogre should be a ground type since sapphire are found underground
WaffleCat3367 lol true
THATS RIGHT INTERNET
same thing with rayquaza
WaffleCat3367 the sinnoh legendarys are based off of three forms of matter solid - dialga liquid - palkia and gas - giritina
Ninethrone0669 i know
Empoleon being water/steel instead of water/ice. It's a penguin. Why isn't it an ice type? It would also complete the whole type neutrality thing the Sinnoh starters have going on, with Empoleon's ice being able to counter Toterra's grass/ground. But NOPE. Even my friend, who's probably THE biggest Empoleon fan to ever grace this planet Earth, her only argument being "water/steel is a cool typing". That's it. MAKES NO SEEENSSSSEE
+Musomania27 The Steel typing is apparently because Empoleon's crown that's supposed have the appearance of a trident, the weapon of the Greek God Poseidon. It also resembles a royal penguin, so I kind of see the Steel typing
TheAuraGuardian But... Penguins...
+Musomania27 or even water flying
+Musomania27 I could argue that not all penguins live in icy regions. We have penguins in NZ that chill in forests.
NessaWyvern do they run around in steel armor or have swords? Lol but seriously, considering the penguin that Empoleon's based off of and that, to my knowledge, that specific type of penguin is mostly found in Arctic areas, then ice would make sense as well.
I think Jirachi is a steel type because it's based off a star/meteor and sometimes stars and meteors can have metal in them so it makes sense
Imagine they kept the name bird type and people trying to explain Gyrados then
Gyarados is a flying type cause its based on the chinese or japanese (one of the two) dragon, like Shenlong. Even he evolving from a fish makes sense, because its based on a legend that a salmon that is determined enough to climb a waterfall comes the other side of the mountain Transformed into a flying dragon, without wings, it really just floats.
finally i found you
If it's based on a dragon, then why isn't it...oh nevermind.
No it's not. The real reason why is because they wanted it to be a dragon type but they also wanted dragon type to be exclusive to the dragonite line so they slapped on flying. Also It's not even a salmon in the legend In the legend it is a carp which is why gyarados first form is magikarp
actually Gyarados was supposed to be dragon, but it would have been broken in the gen 1 games
TheYvesL But do you know whats also based off of? Its what you just said, CHINESE FUCKING DRAGONS!
Lugia is Psychic since it used to live in the Scorched tower, also being a water type would give an advantage over Ho-Oh, Lugia has telepatic powers and the hability to speak to humans, an hability shared by almost every psychic type. So Lugia is a representation of how humans cans missinterpret some legends since humans in the pokemon world assumed Lugia was a water type.
Lucario is steel because mineral ores and crystals are used in spiritual energy rituals, psychic represents the mind so it wouldn't fit in the concept of aura, since Lucario uses spiritual powers, not mind powers, and if a counterargument is that there's a Lucario who can speak to humans using telepaty, movies are not canon.
Palkia is water because it's a methaphor to the space, since time is not malleable represented by the sturdy nature of steel of Palkia, and space is vast and uncontrolable, just like the sea. Also the legendary trio it comes from also represents the 3 states of matter, Dialga being solid, Palkia liquid and Giratina is gaseous.
Palkia Water = Pearls
He's the Guardian of the sea. He lives in water. Personally, despite lugias backstory, it just makes more sense if he were a water type
Saying Lugia can't be Water type because it would have an advantage over Ho-Oh makes no sense because; Xerneas and Yveltal, Kyogre and Groudon, Zacian and Zamazenta. Hell, Zekrom and Reshiram are super effective against each other.
Edit: Also, at least in the anime, nearly every legendary can speak to humans.
I have a simpler explanation
Soul silver
@@CookieGal- don't forget Zapdos has an advantage over the other two birds
I got an advert at the right time
Then what is it?
Advert: It’s mega digital week!
The reason why klefki is fairy type is because there was a legend that the fairies used to take little objects like keys(I listened it in someplace,but not sure where).
I think Lugia was a Psychic/Flying type so it wouldn't have a type advantage over Ho-oh. But that makes no sense when we have Kyogre with a type advantage over Groudon, Dialga having a type advantage over Palkia (Steel resists Dragon and Dragon resists Water), and Xerneas having a type advantage over Yveltal, and Primal Kyogre having a even bigger type advantage over Primal Groudon, since it became a dual Ground/Fire type (just overwrite the Extremely Harsh Sunlight with another weather condition. Heavy Rain stops Fire-type moves from working, making Primal Groudon's new Fire type nothing but a disadvantage).
VokunKendovJosh the two arent meant to collide like tge other duo pokemon
VokunKendovJosh 3 legendary pokemons represent 3 stages of matter: air liquid and solid. Thats why Palkia is water type (liquid)

Im pretty sure someone already said this, but Palkia is a water type since the trio (Dialga, Palkia and Giratina) base off the states or forms of matter. Palkia being liquid, makes it a water type. Giratina is ghost because its gas, and dialga is steel since it shows solid.
XChar YT thanks you have solved my biggest question. I wonder also why they chose ghost to represent gas. Like imagine if instead they made a gas type. That would be cool
But what about plasma

It's been five years, so someone has probably pointed this out already, but...

@@CuddleCuttlefish you mustve never seen dragonfruit trees, because they are fucking *cacti*
The actual reason Lucario is a steel type is because it’s spikes and theoretically bones are made of the mythical metal orichalcum which fits along with its aura powers since it’s known to have sacred properties.
well palkia is representative the water state of matter, so it justifies the water typing
lucario is a steel type because in Japan or china it stands for mystic metal😰
Oof
Well... some Japanese says that Lucario has a heart of steel
he even got the learnset wrong
he forgot meteor mash, a steel type move learned by riolus from breeding a lucario and a smeargle
I always thought it’s spikes were the reason it was a steel type
Edit: I just reached the end and he does mention it but I really thought steel makes sense otherwise it’d just be really weird for it to have random spikes out of its body.
Edit 2: also I guess you can say that since I’d never guess it was a steel if I was fighting it

This means Nidoqueen is a water type!
Bouffalant, tauros and eevee has ground type, dragonite has fire
@@Vadimonchik18 milotic(beautiful scales) ,ho-oh (rainbow bird),necrozma (hes a friggin prism), are all the types.
i mean silvally is based on arceus and both can change types based on item theyre using.
(actually iirc, silvally is an attempt to create an arceus, kinda like mewtwo to mew.
except silvally was meant to destroy ultra beasts)
Nobody said that tho. Just that there's correlation, which there always has been.
Nikki Lee if u saw his video about the Pokémon anime mistakes, it explains people in the anime mistaking types because of their color, and Aura guardian complained about those mistakes. So in here he talks about types having the specific color a little. Also this was a joke
Nidoking is poison :D
"Gyarados can't even learn fly"
-Game freak releases Arceus where Gyarados is flying in the air
GYRADOS IS BASED OFF A CHINESE DRAGON, AND THOSE FLY!!!
IS THAT A GOOD ARGUMENT FOR YOU???
EDIT: ALSO, DRAGON TYPE WAS MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE DRATINI LINE!
But it still cannot learn freaking Fly
... So that's obsolete for the games
Are you stuck on caps lock or just very angry?
@@calebg6587 its just annoying me a lot.
Maybe Lugia is Psychic type because if it’s
Water and Flying type
It would easily been beaten by Zapdos
with that logic let's say Kyogre can beat Groudon with it's water type and groudon is ground type respectively, also doesn't make sense because Kyurem can beat both Zekrom and Reshiram because Kyurem is part Ice and Dragon type, both are weaknesses of Dragon.
schooking Skel-CeentrixPVP uhh do u know that primal groudons form's ability stops water type to be used in battle lol also zekrom with a choice band can nuke kyurem with outrage lmao
Oi But Reshiram CAN beat Kyurem since Reshiram is Fire/Dragon
yea, and it would be strong againist ho-oh which isn't fair
Khaza Academy Oh you know it’s not like primal Kyogre doesn’t exist and totally can’t just do the same with its ability.
When I saw soodowoodo for the first time I thought it was grass so I used a fire type move on it and it wasnt very effective.
Nathaniel Voegele yeah, it's because in Japanese soodowoodo means fake wood
DraglnLegend well in English it's name originates from Psuedo Woodo meaning Fake Wood
Nathaniel Voegele I miss clicked and used a water type move and one shoted it (I was trying to catch it😭😭)
Nathaniel Voegele me too
Then his camouflage worked
Actually there’s a very good reason why Palkia’s a water type. Allow me to explain. So, Giratina, Palkia, and Dialga’s primary types all represent the 3 stages of matter, being gas, liquid, and solid respectively.
Edit: I also have a possible explanation as to why Lucario is part steel type. Now, I’m gonna start this out by saying Lucario has a strong resemblance to Wolverine, both of which have metal claws on their hands, and Lucario’s shiny bares a strong resemblance to Wolverines yellow and blue spandex. Therefore, I believe Lucario, like Wolverine, has metal bones. This could also explain it being able to learn Bone Rush, because it’s metal spikes would actually be it’s bones. Now I know that the canon explanation is that it creates aura bow staffs that looks like bones, but I like my little theory so let me be.
Lugia completely broke Aura. I know that feel. Watched the movie with it in it, then when I played the game I was very confused that it wasn't a water type
My reaction to my first time catching a Lugia in Gen 2
THe god of water. Not a water type. Wow.
Lugia is the GUARDIAN of water not a part of it.
If you follow a little bit the story of Johto, you will know that Lugia lived before in that burned tower, so have no relation with water at all.
So it'd be like if Poseidon was Grass type?
@@JaelinBezel
Golurk was the guardian of ancient civilitations, does that mean it should be Rock (Ancient structures) and Normal? (People)
No, it is Ground because it was made from clay, and it's Ghost because golems are said to be made from souls using dark magic, necromancy, etc.
So no, Lugia doesn't need to be water to be the guardian of the sea.
@@fenistereinc.5797 first off, that's so annoying when you correct people like that. BUT DUDE ITS THE GUARDIAN OF SEAS. YOU ARE TELLING ME IT SHOULDNT BE A WATER TYPE?? Oh my god.m

*Generation VII comes and makes this outdated.*
rowlet is dual type.
Zero Bahamut, that’s my point. Bulbasaur isn’t the only dual type first stage starter anymore.
I just realised that the “psychic bar” (for example, at 7:25 ) is spelled wrong, it’s supposed to be spelled Psychic... MY LIFE HAS BEEN A LIE
IsaZ Gamer it was another typing
PSYCHC, THaTS THe WRONg NUmBER
Its like that because that box cant fit in seven letters at once
Tempez i think it can
@@ec2552 underrated comment
Annoyingly, the pokemon company have confirmed that Lugia is a psychic type because "Lugia is powerful, and Psychic is seen as a powerful typing, so we chose it over water" or words to that effect. Not even a good justification for it
Palkia has pearls on its shoulders i guess that gives out a bit of a water typing look?
Bulbadaur is part poison type maybe because if you try to eat the bulb or even just touch or smell it,it could release toxic spores?
Gengar and its pre-evolution are part poison maybe because they are made up of poisonous gases....
Gyarados is part flying because it's based on a dragon?
Lucario is part steel stype maybe because its skeleton is made entirely of steel... Like wolverine from xmen...
Just putting my 2 cents in...
If Gyrados is based on a dragon...
...Why isn't it a dragon type?
Actually Gyrados is a flying type because its whole evolution process (Why it goes from a karp to a dragon) is based on a chinese legend in which T that if a lowly carp could leap over a particular waterfall, referred to as the Dragon Gate, it would be transformed into a dragon, and that when one succeeded, the summer rains would start to fall. There are numerous waterfalls in China which are claimed to be the Dragon Gate, but the most notable is on the Yellow River, near Henan.
Therefore, the flying type is symbolic of its evolution. Also Chinese dragons are less 'dragon-like' compared to their European counterparts, so the flying type does make sense to an extent.
Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina are based of the 3 states of matter.
Palkia = Liquid (Water)
Dialga = Solid (Steel)
Giratina = Gas (Ghost)
Which is why Palkia was typed Water/Dragon.
Magikarps are based off flying fishes if they get over a waterfall they become a dragon
family girl Palkia is water because the Palkia Dialga Giratina trio present: Liquid, Solid and Gas
First one on bulbasaur...
Now shiny hoothoot is out
*Rowlett
Rowlet wasn't revealed when this video came out.. use some COMMON SENSE!
Kyrakia of Aexia and you still spelt rowlet wrong
And before someone points out "DARTRIXNATION HAS A DECIDUEYE AS HIS PFP!!! HE'S SO STUPID!!!" I did that intentionally because i wanted a full line... Mascot being rowlet
Shinies have different... somethings?
I find sudowoodo funny because people might bring out fire types to fight it at first only to get destroyed by rock moves

It's an allusion to the mythological inspiration of magikarp and gyarados
Talking about magnemite....
Magnemite already has the steel type,taking the second spot.
I can see why someone can be confused with it.
It floats because gravity’s pulse because it’s a MAGNET
Magnemite already had electric and steel types, which fit it perfectly, so they couldn't add flying. Same for Venomoth. Bug and Poison, with no room left for flying.
Yeah it makes magnemite an elecrtromagnet so it floats but if it had ice type it would make more sence because superconductors that make magnet float ae very very cold and so electric and steel is good but if the Pokemon company made a pre evolution for magnemite and then make it like slowbro evolution method that some iice type Pokemon has to come near it to evolve it so here's my theory
Make a pre evoloution for magnemite
Make a Pokemon that if that Pokemon comes near pre evolved magnemite they turn into magnemite with ice electric and steel type that will make a lot of sense as there are real life super conductors that are ice cold and make magnets float
I can kinda see the psychic typing in Lugia, because Lugia has been shown controlling water in the anime, but I also think that Lugia should be a water type. This really confused me when I went to battle Lugia, because I thought it was a water/flying type, so I was pretty surprised when I caught Lugia and found out that Lugia was actually a psychic/flying type, but at least I finally understood why my umbreon kept accidentally knocking it out... At least I saved before battling, one thing I hadn’t learned when I battled legendaries in the previous games I had played...
I can name a few and I'll be ordering them based on the generation they debuted in.
Farfetched is Normal Flying when it should've been Fighting Flying since it uses a stick to battle with that's also a hold item in later games (Obviously this is only talking about vanilla Farfetched. I really love how even Game Freak themselves thought it would make sense as a Fighting Type when they made its Galarian version pure Fighting)
Ursaring is pure Normal when it would make sense as Normal Dark cause it can be ferocious in battle as seen in the anime.
Glalie is pure ice when Ice Dark would make sense since it's another mon with a menacing aura that would fit for a type called the Evil Type in Japan.
so... are you not gonna question why Jirachi is
S T E E L T Y P E
also, why is solgaleo, another star pokemon also steel type
@@Madcat56 I think Solgaleo is steel caues cause the sun is made of molten metal or something like that not fire

the sun is made of plasma, not liquids.
the sun also contains hydrogen and helium, but no metals.

Palkia is Water because the Dragon trio represent the 3 states of matter: Dialga=solid=Steel, Palkia=liquid=Water, Giratina=gassous=Ghost
Wow I’ve been a Pokémon fan for a about a year and it just blew my mind that fairy type was introduced in gen 6 and people didn’t know about a fairy type all this time :0 And same goes for the other types that did not debut in gen 1
Yea I pretty much agree with all of this. Lucario should definitely be psychic fighting too. That would be a cool combo
Medicham

Probably the most confusing types for a new pokemon of Gen 7 is Dhelmise! It is Ghost/Grass when it is literally an anchor! *made of steel*
his ability making him pseudo-steel
And is found at the bottom of the sea yet isn't water type XD
Well the pokemon itself is actually the moss growing on the anchor, the actual anchor and wheel are just parts it attached too
It's possessed moss attached to an anchor. That explains its ghost and grass typing (a combo that has officially been done to death it's basically the new Fire/fighting). It's not steel type the way Timburr/Gurdurr/Conkeldurr aren't fighting and grass, steel, and rock respectively. It's just the Pokémon using an item as a tool. Although a Fighting and Rock type would be really cool.
I agree that Gyarados being a flying type is strange, but there is a reason. There is an ancient Chinese myth about carps that become dragons. It goes if a carp can swim up the Hunan waterfall and leap through the Dragon's Gate located at the top, then it will become a powerful dragon. Chinese dragons are long and serpentine AND can fly. This is why Magicarp sucks so much, it is JUST a fish. But by "climbing the waterfall" (getting to level 20) then it becomes a powerful dragon. This is why Gyarados has the flying type and why it can learn dragon moves.
Also if you play pokemon snap, this is why you have to get the magicarp to the waterfall and why it evolves when it gets up there.
+The9gods Still, the whole lore about a "Carp leaping over the Dragon's Gate to become a Dragon", STILL points towards being a Water/Dragon Type. NOT a Flying Type!
Plus, it looks like a Sea Serpent, AND it can learn Dragon Moves!
HELL! Even Milotic looks like a Water/Dragon Type, and it can learn Dragon Moves, Yet it's NOT a Dragon Type!
But you know who IS a Water/Dragon Type?
Freakin' KINGDRA!!!
Seriously, How is a Sea Horse classified as a Dragon Type, yet a Sea Serpent ISN'T!?
I agree with you, but don't forget Goodra. Wtf is what? A blob gets to be a dragon, but Dragon's Gate jumping magikarps get to evolve into flying and NOT dragon.
The9gods
Amen to that! I mean, I seriously thought the Goomy line was either Bug or Poison Types, but Nope! Pure Dragon!
Also, I forgot to mention that Both Magikarp and Gyarados are in the Water 1 and Dragon Egg Groups! Which is yet ANOTHER Reason they should be classified as Water/Dragon!
Plus, aside from Bounce, Gyarados can't learn any Flying type Moves!
I think Gyarados is flying type because it's based on the story of how a fish climbed a mountain (just like Magikarp) in order to be able to fly
The real reason Gyarados is a Water Flying type was because in Generation 1, Dragon Rage was the only Dragon-type move that existed. And since Gyarados would have been water Dragon, it effectively had no weakness outside of using Dragon Rage to do 40 HP of damage. This was before Generation 2 added steel types, so nothing could have resisted this thing either. In a literal sense, it was broken, and Game Freak just never changed it to be a dragon
No. The real reason Gyarados is not a dragon type is that the koi loses its dragon status if it abuses its power. It's directly in line with the lore.
5:33 I KNEW IT'S HEAD WAS AN ONION!!!
What about the lake trio?
UXIE (Pixie) MeSPRIT (Sprite) AzELF (elf) shouldn't they be fairy on this too?
Fairy Type didn't exist in gen 4. And they are NOT gonna change the typing of legendary pokemon
And fairy type didn’t exist in gen 1 although jigglypuff is fairy type
Jigglypuff is not a fairy type. Types of legendary pokemon's typing wont ever be changed.
Edit: Heck I came back and realized I said Jigglypuff is not a fairy type. Jigglypuff's type was changed to fairy type, but only because it is a regular pokemon, not a legendary.
LizardLogan this is true but because of the 'status' legendaries have and their lack of fairy moves to make use of for stab they wouldn't ever change it
now that I think about it that makes alot of sense
I am Chinese. I get why ppl say it makes sense for Gyrados to fly but at the same time, we've never seen Gyrados fly like ever in anime or any other media so Aura Guardian's argument makes more sense
The first time I saw a sudowoodo was in gold and the reason I caught it was because I thought I needed a grass type. When it got hit with a super effective water move right after that messed up my entire Pokémon type chart until I realized
the reason that Gyarados is a water flying type is because it is based off the Chinese myth about koi fish transforming into dragons which is why also Magikarp becomes Gyarados.
+Oaw blissed Then shouldn't it be a dragon then?
+grapesvine it's not a dragon because in red/blue a dragon and water type would have close to no weaknesses (the only dragon thpe move back then was dragon rage, too)
+Ephi Why isn't Mega Gyarados a Dragon type? I doubt there would be any balancing issues.
it's mega design doesnt exactly scream "dragon" and i dont exactly know why gamefreak decided to go with water/dark instead of water/dragon since they would both be weak to fairy types anyways
klefki is based on fairies that steel shiny items like keys so fairy makes sense
+Nurul Hassan Yeah, I found that out after I made the video and brought it up in my second confusing types vid
+TheAuraGuardian And Gyarados is based after an eastern dragon and it makes sense, since eastern dragons can actually fly without wings. And the reason y Lugia might be part-psychic type it's because of the telepathy that it possess.
+TheAuraGuardian palkia dialga and giratina are based of solid, gas and antimatter (no liquid for some shit reason????)
+Ian Rom Erv I was gonna say the same thing about lugia.
+TheAuraGuardian the ghastly line is poison because as refrenced in bulbpedia "Gastly has no true form, due to its body being 95% poisonous gas" (may be after gen 1 so let me give a gen 1 example) "Almost invisible, this gaseous Pokémon cloaks the target and puts it to sleep without notice." that is the gen 1 pokedex entry. Sounds like poison doesn't it?
Palkia is for Perl pearls are In the SEA so I guess that is enough
That's why I always knew that it was water
Jamison Hingle not the reason but good way to remember it. It’s actually because Palkia, Dialga and Giratina represent the 3 states of matter. Palkia being liquid Dialga being solid and Giratina being gas
psyduck is only water I was confused when it used confusion
