Pokémon Type Combos
3 years ago
Once upon a time...
With the newest releases, I felt like I should update on which types are still not used in the games. This will fall into different categories:
1) Not used at all: this combo simply doesn't exist yet.
2) Legendary/Mythic Only: the type exists, but only for legendary or mythic pokémon. "Regular" ones don't have it yet.
3) Mega/Alternate Evolution Only: it is, effectively, a form change that doesn't last and no "regular" pokémon has it yet.
4) Regional Form Only: A regional variant of the pokémon (or its alt form) has this type combo, but there's not a new pokémon with it yet.
5) Reverse type: Flying and Fairy tend to be secondary types with only a handful or so of pokémon who have it as a primary type.
Note: 2, 3, and 4 are going to have some overlap. I'll list them.
