>not water type
>it's part of the Water 1 and, for some reason, Human-like egg group instead of Amorphous
Genuinely what was GF thinking with the Clobbopus line?

not everyone needs to be the type they look, shes fine

>>57968633
a lot of conflicting things since GF developers virtually never communicate because apparently it stifles creativity or whatever the fuck

>>57968620 (OP)
And yet they add Scovillain so that people don't bitch the first Grass/Fire is an alt form of a DLC-locked pokemon.

>>57968620 (OP)
Didn’t SwSh have a bunch of oddly single-typed pokemon?

>>57968620 (OP)
Simple.
Grapploct is just an octopus that fights.
It doesn't do anything particularly water-y other than live in it.
Urshifu's movements, it's style of martial arts, is meant to represent water. The way it moves & flows turned into combat.

Bravo anon

Because my mom's octopus is a boring cartoon animal and doesn't deserve to be good.

Galar was a mistake

>>57968620 (OP)
So out of curiosity looked through the pokedex to see if I could find other mons that 1. Blue 2. Based on an aquatic creature 3. Are not Water Type. This is all I came up with.

>Dratini & Dragonair
Kind of having to stretch the definition of aquatic creature here but it has been portrayed living in lakes in other pokemon media.
>Altaria
Again, kind of having to stretch the definition of aquatic animal. But Golduck, Swanna, and Peliper are water types for being birds commonly associated with water. If you choose to see Altaria as specifically a swan or goose it fits but again that is with a big asterisk as it clearly has multiple points of inspiraations from different birds and myth.
>Eelektross
One of the first that definitely fits all the criteria. Although it is mitigated somewhat by its whole thing being it levitating and swimming through the air.
>Inkay & Malamar
Might just be colorblind on this one.
>Nihilego
Was thrown off by this things typing on first encounter but still thought it was ghost before water.
>Crabrawler
Genuinely forgot this thing is mono-fighting like Grapploct. Definitely fits as its brother in arms for blue aquatic pokemon that is not a water type.

Thats all I could come up with.

do you also think that every pokémon that lives in the woods should be grass type? or that every pokémon that lives in a cave should be rock? or every pokémon that lives in sandy regions should be ground?
kill yourselves

>>57969579
That's pretty much how GF operates anon. Do you really expect something that lives in a Volcano to not be a Fire type?
Also you didn't read
>Clobbopus
>Water 1 Egg-group, reserved for AQUATIC or semi aquatic mons.
Water 1 Egg-group is LITERALLY filled with water types with a few exceptions like Dragonite line (pointed out by >>57969482) Malamar line, Delibird, Eiscue, Dragalge line, Bellibolt, Kilowattrel line and technically both the Clodsire and Cursola lines

>>57969482
>Crabrawler
I mean it would have lost its water type in favor for ice type on evolution (yeti crab stuff)
And even then isn't Crabrawler Water 3? (Basically aquatic arthropods, barnacles, bivalves and so on. The only weird exception there being the Archeops line)

>>57969803
>lives in a volcano
This doesn't make any sense in the first place because irl volcanic caves aren't still filled with active magma floes
>water 1 is LITERALLY filled with water types
>except these guys
>they don't count btw
O-okay

Crabrawler is based on a coconut crab, which is terrestrial.

>>57968681
i'd rather have no grass/fire type than that waste of a typing which will probably mean we won't get it for at least another generation unless GF decides to throw both of those types a bone by giving that type combination something that's both cool and powerful, instead of some ugly and lame SFMA 6 generations after there was an excuse to make them

>>57968633
Sceptile is part of the dragon egg group btw

>>57969803
>Do you really expect something that lives in a Volcano to not be a Fire type?
Yes

>>57968759
>It doesn't do anything particularly water-y other than live in it.
It learns more Water-type moves than any other type.

>>57969803
> Do you really expect something that lives in a Volcano to not be a Fire type?
Water type is the most common type, it has 159 Pokemon, Ice has 58. We need to have as many aquatic non water types as possible.

Choose Pokemon to strip them down from the water type. We have too many.

>>57969590
similar thread

>>57968759
>It doesn't do anything particularly water-y
the overwhelm majority of water type pokemon don't "do anything particularly water-y" other than use water type moves so what the hell is your point?

>>57972135
Keep them. Having a ton of water types is part of the type's identity

I don't think anything in all of Pokemon sets autists off more than single types

>>57969579
Why should a Pokemon that lives in the sea 99% of the time, based on an animal that needs to live in the sea to survive, whose primary egg group is the water group and is only encountered in the water be a water type? There are many mons that can be encountered in various locations not matching their type usually because they have reason for being there (e.g. feeds into their biology) or because their dual-typing doesnt allow room for extra relevant typing for that area yet its obviously part of their biology. Grappleoct is a fighting monotype in the sea where little to no martial arts style fighting happens (it has to go to land to find opponents) so it's a mystery how it developed this affinity and why it lost its water typing considering it lives there all the time (if it started living on land most of the time then it would make more sense).

>>57968759
If your logic was actually applicable Crawdaunt and Golisopod wouldn’t be water-types. Gamefreak probably just wanted it to be different

>>57972645
If only Clobbopus was Water/Fighting and lose it's Water type when evolving into Grapploct it would make more sense (to justify it being in the Water 1 egg group + all the water type moves)

>>57968620 (OP)
Water he Fighting for?

>>57969482
There are idiots who would actually push for Dragon/Water with Dratini and Dragonair simply because they're blue and you can find them underwater.

>>57968620 (OP)
>why?
The professor hit it with a grass type attack and it didn't say "super effective" so then he knew it wasnt water type

>>57972645
you're made out of water in 60%
you live in air 100% of the time
you burn calories to live
you use nervous system based on electricity
you walk on earth all the time
you're made out of carbon
you have parasites in your ass
you're a normie
you can kick
your smell is toxic
you have iron in your blood
you're mental
you're a fag
you're a mean bitch

>>57968620 (OP)
The vast majority of Pokemon are filler Pokemon.
They get programmed into the game, maybe even get a cool but gimmicky signature move or ability, and are intentionally gimped so they don’t take a centimeter of spotlight from shillmons.

i hate monotypes
