It's a Japanese game. Its typing is based on a pun in Japanese. Get over it.

Since I know some idiot's going to post Lucario, the reason it's a Steel type is because it has "a heart and fists of steel," as denoted by the metal spikes on its hands and chest. Lucario's whole thing is about being just and valiant or whatever.

The Justified ability was probably even made with Lucario in mind, although Steel no longer resists Dark.

Jynx's origins are all tied somehow to winter/snow. Jynx may be based on Yama-uba (also called Yamanba), a yōkai which is described as always wearing a tattered red kimono, having whitish-blonde hair, control over snow, dark-colored skin, and large lips, traits which are evident in Jynx. It also has traits of an opera singer and Nordic/Viking aspects associated with it. Jynx could also be influenced by the folklore character Zwarte Piet which would explain why they are even depicted as Santa's helpers in the anime.

Ice is fine.

Should've been Psychic/Fighting or Psychic/Dark.

>Psychic/Dark
How? Inkay is Water/Fairy, Malamar is Water/Dark
>>
>Golduck not Water/Psychic
>Ninetales not Fire/Ghost
>Gardevoir didn't get to be Psychic/Ghost for some reason
Though i think they didn't make Golduck Psychic because of it's dex.

Pokemon looking much less like dragons than Ampharos have been given dragon typing, and pokemon looking much more like dragons than Ampharos have been given non-dragon typing.

But while we're on the subject, let's bring up an oldie but a goodie -- Dodrio. It has no wings, yet it is flying type and learns fly. Also, Gyarados. Doesn't learn fly, is a flying type. Looks like a dragon, not even its mega evolution is a dragon.

Fire fighting

This is also why Gyarados and Magikarp are always with their mouth open.
>>
>>26535643
Both of those were g1 pokemon, and so since the foundation of typings and everything hadn't been settled yet, there are some weird things about g1 pokemon
>dodrio is flying simply because it's a bird. True it's based on a flightless bird, but people don't always like their fantasy things to be a 1:1 to reality. I always liked to think it flies by just jumping really well
>Gyrados could be a couple reasons. Firstly it is based on the myth that if a carp can climb a waterfall it will become a dragon. This a chinese myth IIRC, and in chinese culture, dragons fly and control rain and storms. So why isn't a dragon? Well it's also based on a windsock so, they kept the water typing and just added flying on the evolution. The most logical reason thoughwas probably for balance issues. They wanted dragon types to be rare and getting one so easily and it evolving so early would have been pretty overpowered.
