Have you ever thought about what type Meganium could have if it had a second type? Well join me as I choose a type for each monotype starter Pokémon based on their designs and backstory to give them a breath of fresh air!
Thank you to my Channel Members!

4:43 dude plesiosaurs are water lizards that had fins they look very similar to Lapras. The word you’re looking for is Sauropods
Boxing your starter, i've been doing that since Gen 3
I'd say Cinderace should be Fire/Normal. Fire Fighting is too common, and with it being a Soccer player I could see an argument for adding Extreme Speed to its move pool.
And then make Rillaboom Grass/Fighting because of how beefy he is.
Would have been pretty funny if you leaned into the British aspect of Gen 8’s starters and made them all poison type & ripped into British people for 3 mins
Here's what I'd do (I haven't watched the video yet).
Blastoise: Water/Steel
Meganium: Grass/Fairy
Typhlosion: Fire/Ground (Ground because it's called the Volcano Pokemon)
Feraligatr: Water/Dark
Sceptile: Grass/Steel (Not dragon because that would be broken. Steel because of their leaves being as sharp as swords)
Serperior: Grass/Dark (Like Feraligatr, it is described as intimidating)
Samurott: Water/Rock (Shells are made from primarily minerals)
Rillaboom: Grass/Normal (Normal because it is a stand in for the sound type)
Cinderace: Fire/Fighting (haters be damned)
Inteleon: Water/Flying (for crying out loud it has a wing suit)
Inteleon can become invisible, fly, control highly pressured streams and pierce through targets weaknesses… I would give him the psychic type, trying to make his "magic" look like 007 skills
I always said I would give meganium psychic type since it learns reflect and light screen
Charizard should get dragon typing
I feel like Inteleon would make sense to be a Water/Psychic type, based on the description of how it analyzes it’s opponents and uses that to hit weak spots, it just feels a bit too psychic for me but i can see how the other types could work as well
i always thought fire normal would be a good type for typhlosion.
4:40 fun fact, according to an interview charizard, was going to be a dragon type, but because of balancing, he is fire flying now
Also why no grass fairy?
I was initially gonna say poison for Intelleon but as soon as ghost came into the equation I was sold. Really love your choices here.
meganium being a dragon and serperior being fairy and not vice versa? nah
the last group will pass to be all fighting types to be honest
The only thing against Blastoise getting steel is that it throws off the balance between Charizard and Venasaur. Steel would allow Blastoise to resist Grass moves and weak against Fire, canceling out the type circle. Empoleons steel type gets countered by both Infernapes Fighting and torterra’s Ground
Blastoise should have been rock so fire wouldn’t become neutral and NO STARTER SHOULD GET DRAGON that makes them resist both other starters regardless. The only way dragon would work is if all 3 were dragon
Meganium is one of the few Pokemon that I feel is so capable of a few types that it doesn’t adopt them. It has Psychic properties with its natural tendency to learn both Reflects, Fairy and Dragon qualities in action or design, and it also has the most potential to be Grass Normal.
The biggest L to this Pokemon is that it is a Grass type, in all honesty.
Why is it so hard for anyone to use the correct form of cannon/canon?
Honestly Typhlosion gives me huge normal vibes.
I would’ve had Inteleon be Wayer Psychic, Rillaboom as Grass Dark, and Cindersce as Fire Fighting, so there’s synergy between the secondary types as well
I completely disagree about the Johto starters
Serperior should get the dark or poison type
I think blastoise need rock type assecond for his normal form and steel as mega
For balancing out the Unova starters, I would give Samurott a steel type if Serperior has fairy type. Just how Emboar has Fighting type allready and its weaker to fairy which you to Serperior.
I think it would be really interesting if Blastoise gained the normal type because it had Skull Bash as its signature move
How the heck did I not realized there was not a single starters if not counting Eevee, that is a normal type, Terestalizing doesn't count and the abilities that changes the type of the Pokemons.
