Not sure about the category.

Anyway, this is a theorymon piece for future type combinations never seen before. The focus is on competitiveness more than flavor, but some flavor is necessary to generate ideas.

The goal is to examine how new types would work compared to the current OU metagame: what new defensive and offensive threats would be welcome to help balance things out? I feel confident I can analyze type combinations based on weaknesses and resistances, however, since it will be OU based I'm going to recruit an OU player to help co-write it.

Skeleton:
  • Intro
  • New Type Combo
    • Offensive merits
    • Defensive merits
    • Possible abilities
    • What role could it fulfill? (This would make a great Landorus counter because...)
    • Small flavor bit (Quick sketch of what it would be in game (Platypus with wings,etc))
  • Conclusion - Stop recycling overused combinations, Game Freak!

Not to be confused with Re-Re-Retype! from Issue 10, which retyped existing Pokemon. Similar but different.

Not to be confused with Wishful Thinking: Missed Fairy Retype Opportunities from Issue 32 either.
