Topic: new pokemon type predictions

[Lord Raven]

posting this elsewhere but what type do you think these new critters will be

calling it now!!!

Xerneas is Psychic/??? I really want to say Dragon
Yveltal is Psychic/Flying

Chespin's line will be Grass/Electric (some people say Grass/Dark)
Fennekin's line will be Fire/Ground or Fire/Psychic
Froakie will be Water/Fighting or Water/Ice

[Liam]

The grass thing looks like it might be grass/ground or grass/fighting or something like that.

The fire one is giving me fire/psychic vibes.

Froakie's back has this fluffy stuff on it... maybe water/flying? water/fighting would be cool.

The legendaries look psychic type or dark type. Something all mystical and stuff.

[The Captain]

The fire one is giving me fire/psychic vibes.

I'd like that! Beats the usual fire/fighting stuff we've had since gen 3 although I have this feeling it's just gonna be plain fire.

Which would be okay I guess but..

[Joe_Pokemon2015- MEGA RAYQUAZA!]

I'm all for Water/Fighting type for the starter. The Firefighter puns are getting old.

Predicting Grass/Dark,Fire/Psychic, Water/Fighting starters

Xerneas Psychic/Ground
Yveltal Dark/Flying

[Moon Chaser]

I think it's grass/fighting, fire/psychic and water/dark. To me Froakie looks like he's using faint attack. That and a reversed type advantage circle seems like a really interesting idea.

[Specstile]

Chespin-Grass/Ground
Fennekin-Fire
Froakie-Water/Flying (Frogs like to bounce right :U)

[Lord Raven]

Xerneas Psychic/Ground
Yveltal Dark/Flying

lol that'll be the most one sided legendary matchup ever

[sans the skeleton]

According to the trailer, look slike Fennelkin will end up being fire/psychic. Which means if we're going by the typing It would probably: be

Fire/Psychic
Grass/Dark
Water/Fighting

(Be aware that some fighting types can easily use faint attack.)

[Ledyba]

^ Even if it is psychic doesn't necessary or even probably mean GameFreak are going to add a 'secondary type tringle'.

Couldn't that frog turn out to be Water/Poison..? Though I'd love Water Fighting.

[Liam]

Water/Fighting froggy would make Poliwrath feel sad.

I wouldn't read too much into the moves that've been used by the Pokémon themselves, look at Sharpedo and Duskull using moves that arguably haven't even been released (or can't learn), I'd look far closer at the actual design of the Pokémon themselves. Look no further than Glalie anyway, learns literally any Dark move you'd want it to do so, and yet, pure Ice type. Without Levitate.

Chespin looks like another Grass/Ground line to me, just the colouring of him. Fennekin I'm undecided on, I love her design but.. I can't see them making a Fire/Psychic type out of her. Just doesn't feel like something Gamefreak would do. Froakie looks like Water/Ground too.. actually.. I'm not that fond of Froakie actually so I'm not too fussed what he turns out to be..

Xerneas looks like a Steel/Psychic type to me, whilst I don't actually think Yveltal will have the Flying type, just a gut feeling but I think it'll be Fire/Psychic actually, or even.. even Fire/Dragon, possibly with Levitate. Just something about it. Yveltal is easily my most favourite thing released since I first saw Hydreigon, so.. I'm very interested to see what they do with him.

I'm all for Water/Fighting type for the starter. The Firefighter puns are getting old.

After reading that only know it's ever occurred to me to think of them in that way. Wow haha.

Water/Fighting would be refreshing.

I hope they mix new types up for a change or even a laugh.

[Anelima]

I think the main theory is that the starter's types were hinted at by the moves they used in the trailer. That would make Chespin Grass/Dark, Fennekin Fire/Psychic, and Froakie Water/Fighting. I think that that would be great because those aren't really common typing. Lots of fans actually complain about so many fire/fighting starters, so maybe they decided to break some trends.

[Lord Raven]

But the reverse triangle thing sort of irks me in a way...
