Pokémon with Confusing Types

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

[alexanderlehane]

Sudowoodo's name is a combination of 'pseudo', meaning fake, and wood, which means it's 'fake wood', like a petrified tree

[NeumanProductions]

Since Gyardos is primarily based on Chinese Water Dragons, many have a mystical power to fly.

[yuyuuverse]

“first stage starters should not be dual type”

Rowlet: hahaha lol what did you say?

[modavga]

Wasn’t sure if you were aware of this. But Sudowoodo is basically Pseudo Wood. It’s a play in saying fake wood.

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.

Aura: Bulbasaur is the only starter that begins with two types
Rowlet: HoLd My BoW aNd ArRoW

[BladeTNT]

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.

"Hurr durr Sudowoodo looks like a tree it should be grass type"
That's THE JOKE

[illtakeachipandeatit]

Well Gastly Is The Posion Gas It Makes Sense For Him To Have The Haunter And Gengar Dont Really Deserve Deserve Dark Type

[Sintsks]

Isn't Gastly called the Poison Gas Pokemon?

[quanbao]

And in Sword and Shield, Ash and Goh ride Lugia surfing and diving undersea

[EliasE]

Ghastly is a ball of pollution. It builds off of that. It make sense

[speqtor]

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.

[Millekop]

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.

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

GameFreak: (Uses confusing typings)

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.

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.

[darklordnoodlez]

Lucario's name is derived from a metal that is why it's steel (also the metal spikes it has)
