List of type combinations by abundance

Revision as of 18:44, 9 March 2014 by EV Love (talk | contribs) (→‎Intro: Updated for Gen VI)

Some Pokémon type combinations are abundant, such as Rock/Ground or Grass/Poison. Others are unique, such as Ice/Ghost or the unaccompanied Flying type.

The complex nature in which types can be arranged means there are a possible 324 different type combinations (including single types). However, due to the games' advantage/disadvantage multiplication system, a Pokémon which is Dark/Ghost is treated the same as one that is Ghost/Dark. As such, there are 171 distinct type combinations.

For the purposes of this list, type combinations are considered commutative; that is to say, Spiritomb and Sableye would be treated as having the same type combination as they have the same weaknesses and resistances.

For the purposes of this list, each form with a different type from another of the same Pokémon's forms counts as a different Pokémon. For example, Darmanitan counts once toward pure Fire and also once toward Fire/Psychic, while Deoxys only counts once toward Psychic. In Generation I, Magnemite and Magneton are considered Electric/Steel even though they did not gain the Steel type until later. In Generation IV, Rotom's forms are each counted separately even though they were not assigned separate types until later. For convenience, Arceus counts only toward the Normal type.

Each column counts the number of Pokémon of that type introduced in that generation; the Total column counts all Pokémon in the National Pokédex as of Generation VI.

Types are listed (before sorting the list) in the order in which they appear in the Pokédex search function in Generation IV. Type combinations, however, are listed in the order in they are most commonly found (or first used, if they're even). For example, Flying, despite being very high on the list, will be second in every type combination because it is so rarely found as a primary type.

There are 45 possible type combinations that have not yet been assigned to a Pokémon. There are 28 type combinations that have only been assigned to a single Pokémon, and a further 33 that have been assigned to multiple Pokémon, but only within the same evolutionary family. The other 68 type combinations have been assigned to multiple unrelated Pokémon.
