Psychic / Rock

OP / Retard

Rock/Fighting

>>58118293 (OP)
It was bit by a Shellder before it evolved, so it's Psychic/Ice

I think Girafarig should randomly generate its type. Sometimes it is Normal/Psychic other times it is Psychic/Normal

>>58118313
Ground/Ghost

>>58118759
No. It's Rock / Water.

>>58118293 (OP)
>Turban is Water type in the Gold beta
Still Psychic/Water

>>58118729
Your brain is on another level.

>>58118738
No. Solid hard bone is closer to rock than ground(lol at flyers being immune to bonemerang). It's also a biped that fights in a martial human-like(armor and weapon) way.

Water / Rock

>>58119034
Bones are not rocks though, they are the remains of a DEAD creature, ergo ghost/fighting

>>58119230
Bones are mostly composed of inorganic mineral. Before other gens ruined it the point of Ghost type was for spectral/incorporeal pokemon hence their immunity to Normal/Fighting. Marowak shouldn't be able to immaterialize when hit with a punch

>Marowak shouldn't be able to immaterialize when hit with a punch
Play the games retard Marowak is THE Ghost of Lavander tower.

Types represent more than just elemental affinities, they're also representative of traits that are more abstract and not literal and this has been the status quo since Gen 1
Ghost types are synonymous with the dead but they are also stated to be carefree and fickle, which is at odds with the determined and focused nature of Fighting types, it's more thematic than just "punches go through ghosts"

A(article) Marowak is the ghost of lavender tower

I had a hard time accepting it was mono-water. For once it actually did look Water/Ice

>>58118293 (OP)
the special types are an elemental quality they possess rather than a physical trait

>>58119636
Not even, just Ice really

Said to be the embodiment of the cold north wind. White ice diamond pattern on its body. A crystal forehead crest(ice is crystalized water). Aurora borealis on its back, a phenomenon that only happens in the arctic regions.

There's literally zero chance it was not designed to be an ice type.

>>58119790
It's Water type because it's related to the casualty that befell the Brass Tower. Raikou represents the lightning that struck the tower, Entei represents the fire that then burned it to the ground, and Suicune represents the rain that extinguished the fire. The Brass Tower burning down marked Lugia's departure from Ecruteak City, and Ho-Oh revived three unnamed Pokemon (probably a Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon) that died in the fire as the legendary beasts before departing itself to seek out a pure-hearted trainer.

>>58119835
Which is lore that was clearly made up after the design. Hell we know Lugia was just wank from the anime guy that created first for the movie.

>>58119034
No.
Bones aren't "closer to Rock." Ground is an thematic typing. Bones are associated with the earth/ground in a variety of ways. In many creation myths, people are frequently built of mud or clay or earth. The maxim "from dust to dust" acknowledges this trope. Belief in an underworld where people go after death is also a common belief. Burying people underground upon death is a practice that can be found all over the world as well. Bones and earth are hopelessly intertwined.
>b-but bonemerang!
The same logic applies to mud attacks and striking attacks, like Headlong Rush. The type chart is illogical nonsense most of the time anyway. Just embrace it.

>>58121320
Marowak is ground because its a terrestrial lizard thingy, not because bones are ground

>>58119636
Who Let the Dogs Out made catching these guys more kino

>>58121325
This, it's the generic kaiju type. Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Rhydon. Giovanni had a Kangaskhan

Hey guys what if we made Slowbro a worse pokemon in every conceivable way

>>58121325
>>58121363
I can see how you can make this argument for Gen 1, but then what about Kangaskhan? Lickitung? It doesn't quite hold.

>>58121373
those are also gen 1 kaijumons

>>58121373
Like I said Giovanni, the ground trainer had a Kangaskhan.

Lickitung is pretty far off from the classic gojiralike guy in a dinodragon suit morphology.

>>58121373
Duh, they're just not monstrous and reptilian enough. Kangaskhan has a baby, and Lickitung is Lickitung. You can't really compare them to the Nidos in terms of ferocity.

>>58121384
And sandshrew and diglett are??

Kangashkan relation conspiracy theory how are we feeling?

>>58121390

>>58121390
Associated with the ground literally

Fossils aren't "closer to Rock." Ground is an thematic typing. Fossils are associated with the earth/ground in a variety of ways. In Paleontology we classify fossils by which earth stratum they are buried in. Fossils lie within the GROUND and researchers excavate them (as in DIG them out). Fossils are created when a dead organism is quickly covered by loose sediment such as sand, clay, mud or ash. Fossils and earth are hopelessly intertwined.

I too can bullshit my way into any cope explanation. It's almost as if Ground and Rock have some thematic overlap

>>58121400
Cubone is also associated with the ground literally. There, it was that simple

>>58121408
Not in the same manner.

It lives in a tower where remains are cremated, it's pathetic when westerners think there are burials in the pokemon tower.
