Over the years and generations of Pokémon‘s history, there have been over 1,000 pocket monsters created or discovered and researched, but some of the Pokémon are left with type classifications that don’t really make sense. Types provide stats and attacks to the Pokémon and signify general weaknesses and strengths in combat. Occasionally, however, some of the Pokémon come out looking like they should have been a different kind based on their appearance or name.
Generation 10 of Pokémon is bringing a lot of speculation of new Pokémon that could be added to the Pokédex with its upcoming iteration. The discovery of new creatures is standard practice with each new generation, but some are already in the Pokédex that deserve a little tweaking. Using the already shifting times of a new generation to correct some of these oversights could help make a few of these Pokémon more popular, or at least less confusing in some situations.
Gothitelle, and its earlier evolutions of Gothita and Gothorita, is a Psychic-type Pokémon that has a weakness to Dark-type Pokémon. As their names are iterations of “Gothic” and they possess an overall dark look, it seems only natural that Gothitelle and its line would be a dual Psychic and Dark type. This omission would mean a large change in its combat values for strengths and weaknesses but would make more sense for the character itself.
At first glance, Florges clearly looks to be a giant flower. Designated as a Fairy-type, the general appearance of Florges suggests that it should also be included as a Grass-type, perhaps with a dual classification. Lower evolutions of Floette and Flabébé show that it was at that time a separate fairy-like creature that held a flower close to it, which makes more sense being a Fairy-type. When evolving into the Florges, however, as the Pokémon clearly becomes one with the flower and adding Grass-type to its stats would be understandable.
The Ultra Beast Nihilego is a Rock/Poison-type Pokémon that was introduced in Gen 7 as a parasite that arrives through a wormhole from another world. This floating jellyfish-like creature can justifiably be a Poison-type, but Rock-type does not make sense from its background. Supposedly, the classification comes from Nihilego being described in the Pokémon Sun & Moon Pokédex entry as “UB-01’s body is composed of a glass-like substance.” That said, glass and rocks are still quite different, and the overall flowing nature of Nihilego does not lend itself to an immediate thought of rocks.
