Pokemon designs are sometimes indicative of their Typings via title, shade, form, and different visible attributes. However, there are a couple of Pokemon who could seem like a sure Type, however are one thing utterly totally different solely, or seem to have colours linked to a secondary Type not included of their species.
Here are ten Pokemon whose typings caught us all off guard in some unspecified time in the future.
Midnight Lycanroc
Lycanroc’s Midnight type takes on a spooky werewolf look, with a slouched posture and darkish pink coloring. Now, all Lycanroc varieties are a Rock Type, very similar to their pre-evolution, Rockruff. However, I’ll ceaselessly be enormously shocked that Midnight Lycanroc didn’t acquire an extra Dark Typing, as nothing other than the thick, rocky-looking claws provides a visible indication of Rock Typing.
I imply, Midnight Lycanroc simply screams ‘Dark Type’, from the intimidating pink gaze to the deep crimson shade palette and black and white accents. While this might give poor Lycanroc 4x Weakness to Fighting Type strikes, it visually makes a lot extra sense than Rock Type. C’mon, I do know you may see it, too.
Luxray
Luxray has indicators for its Electric Typing with its brilliant yellow particulars and vibrant eyes. However, Luxray’s largely black fur shade usually provides Trainers the false assumption that this lighting lion has a secondary Typing of Dark.
While this will surely be an acceptable mixture for the badass and lovable Luxray, that is sadly not the case, with this large cat carrying pure Electric Typing as a substitute. Luxray actually does visually slot in alongside the likes of Mightyena, Incineroar, Zoroark, and plenty of different ‘Mons who share the Dark Typing, so it’s simple to grasp how this assumption could be made.
Dunsparce
Dunsparce is kind of an oddity on this planet of Pokemon, as this uncommon critter appears some half bug, some half snake, and even some type of little first-form Dragon. However, because it seems, Dunsparce relies on the land snake being in Japanese folklore, Tsuchinoko. Dunsparce is even well-known within the Pokemon world for burrowing itself into the bottom, referencing the Tsuchinoko.
Because of this, you’d assume Dunsparce is Ground Type, proper? Wrong! Dunsparce is as a substitute a pure Normal Type Pokemon, which appears very odd. But then once more, this little fella is an odd little man, to start with, so are we actually that shocked?
Nihilego
Taking a glimpse at this large jellyfish-like beast, you’d most likely assume it to be a Water Type, or perhaps a Normal or Psychic Type on account of its shade palette and total design. However, Nihilego is neither of those, as a substitute holding a Ground and Poison Dual-Typing.
Technically, the Poison Type is sensible with the entire jellyfish facet, however the Ground Typing has actually caught many Trainers off guard. However, when you think about Nihilego’s Pokedex entry, the Ground Typing does make just a little bit extra sense, as its physique consists of glass, which is created from heated sand.
Clobbopus
Clobbopus is a wee octopus fella, so I’m positive your first thought could be that this foolish little buddy has a Water Typing. Well, this isn’t the case in any respect. Rather, Clobbopus is a pure Fighting Type Pokemon, regardless of wanting like one thing that will spend nearly all of its time below the water.
Furthermore, Clobbopus’ Pokedex entry even confirms this, stating that the one factor that brings Clobbopus onto land is a seek for meals. Even although this feisty fella lives underwater, it nonetheless utterly lacks a secondary Water Typing; make it make sense, please.
Sudowoodo
I’m positive anybody who has performed the Johto Region Pokemon video games (Gold/Silver/Crystal or Coronary heartGold/SoulSilver) has witnessed the trickery of Sudowoodo’s Typing. This Pokemon appears like a foolish, wiggly little tree, proper? In the video games you even must water it to begin the encounter.
Pretty a lot all the things about this wriggling buddy screams Grass Type, or so all of us thought, as poor, unsuspecting children. As many people came upon after hitting Sudowoodo with a flurry of Fire-Type assaults, this Pokemon is just not a Grass Type in any respect, however moderately a Rock Type, posing as a tree.
Florges
Florges is actually an enormous flower. How may this Pokemon be something apart from a Grass Type? Well, apparently Florges utterly denies our expectations, as this blooming magnificence lacks the Grass Typing, at the same time as a secondary Type. Instead, Florges is a pure Fairy Type Pokemon, which nonetheless baffles a whole lot of followers all over the world.
While this can be a frequent misinterpretation, we will’t blame those that make this error, as Florges appears far more Grass Type than many real Grass Type Pokemon, making this an easy ‘Mon to get mixed up.
Psyduck
Psyduck is a Pokemon that surprises many with its Typing. While it’s apparent that this cute, goofy ducky is a Water Type, many would assume that Psyduck additionally has a secondary Typing of Psychic. After all, it’s even within the title; Psy-duck, Psy-chic. Get it?
Well, other than the title, Psyduck can be usually depicted clutching its head in confusion, which is a pose that will work very properly for a fundamental type Psychic Pokemon. Maybe Psyduck secretly is a Psychic Type, and he’s simply been making an attempt actually laborious this complete time to get his telekinesis powers to work. I assume we’ll by no means know.
Lugia
Lugia is without doubt one of the extra memorable Legendary Pokemon in existence, identified for being the Guardian of the Sea. The mixture of this title and Lugia’s cool-toned shade palette, consisting of whites and blues, may fairly presumably lead anybody to imagine that it’s a Water Type. Well, we hate to interrupt it to you; however the Guardian of the Sea is a phony.
Lugia doesn’t have any Water Typing and is as a substitute a Dual Psychic and Flying Type. Interestingly sufficient, nevertheless, that is how Lugia operates because the Guardian of the Sea, utilizing its Psychic skills to manage the water round itself.
Charizard
Ah, Charizard, you poor unlucky soul. For many, this large ol’ man would be the first Pokemon that pops into their thoughts once they ponder the query of which specimen doesn’t look true to their Typing. Even although Charizard is an enormous, fierce, hearth dragon man….. he’s not a Dragon-Type in any respect.
Charizard stays a pure Fire Type, which means this ‘dragon’ is actually simply a big lizard (however with wings?). It doesn’t make sense to us both and has left poor Charizard an entire laughing inventory for years, with unending ‘not a real dragon’ memes taking the web by storm.
