Forums - Nintendo - Theory: A new Pokémon type to be introduced in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.

its too soon for a new type. if any other type were to be introduced i would say Light type, but people just got comfortable with Fairy type and its best not to mix up the type chart too much

Agreed, Water should get nerfed and Ice resisting it is a great start...

 

It's not about nerfing Water but nice try.



I think it would be a bit too sudden to have a new type. Besides, what what a new type be? Moon?

I'd love to see a new type. I think a light type would be cool so you could have light and dark both strong against each other.

As for those saying balance... meh. I've never battled competitively and never will, balance means nothing to me only fun. And new type = fun.

Fairy is Pokemon equivalent to light.



No type right now is OP so I don't see them introducing a new type, but it would be cool if they did.

lmao I didn't even remember that it was you that I had that Water is broken discussion with, still I agreed on the fact that it's dumb for Ice to not be usable because it doesn't have resistances, It nerfs most of the strongest offensive types in Dragon, Ground and Flying, why not letting that sweet STAB come along, of course if it nerfs Water types aswell it's all the better

The most commonly speculated ones are probably light and sound.

Although I've seen people asking for a fossil type too. Wouldn't be that common but it would at least be cool to have all the fossil pokemon having their own type and not stuck with rock type all the time.

I guess light can work. It can be strong against dark and weak to poison or something. I'd have to think on that.

Sound, I don't see how that can work though... Where did that idea even come from?

While No type might be OP, there is quite a level in difference between all 18 types! You can break it into tiers. 

Imo.... Something like this..... (This is mostly defensive so pls be easy on me)

Godly: Steel

Great: Fairy, Poison, Elect, Water, Ghost, Normal

Average: Dark, Fire, Bug, Fighting, Flying, Dragon, Ground

Poor: , Rock, Grass, Psykic, 

Shit: Ice (lol)

We just need Ice and a few bits for Rock/Grass/Psykic for a boost. Only good thing about steel not being Super OP is 2 of its 3 weaknesses are common attacking moves.



Oh as for Cosmic i think we should have this... Also let Ice be resistant to Water pls!!!

"Cosmic type Attacking _____ type"

x2 Fairy / Poison
x½ Psykic / Grass
x0 Ice


"______ type attacking Cosmic type"

x2 Psykic / Dark
x½ Fairy / Steel
x0: Ice

Ice would be meaningful (defensive wise) and we have our first both types dont affect each other! Ice and Cosmic makes sense since its freezing in space lol

I would swap normal with ground, but other than than I agree. And it's true that some types need some help (for instance, Ice types deserve more resistances, like maybe water and grass).
