I find ideas created out of unused type a little forced and uncreative. New type combinations should be created out of coincidence or the concept, not the necessity to use them for the sake of new combos (I'm looking at you, Lucario!). So yeah. I think someone has also attempted this before, I have no final words for this, except for I strongly disagree.

Oh, I remember. Soble did a lot of that thing... it was as if he didn't have anything to do.
It shouldn't be that we create Pokémon and FORCE these type combos... they should just come naturally.

I do have a cool idea for a Wind/Electric type kind of like Clowdrojen from the R/B archive.

I tend to steer towards type combos that are not that often seen... but only during the initial search, after that I look strictly at the pokemon itself and wonder what types the idea should be.

I do oppose trying to find them by creating a list or anything, though - ideas will come more naturally if you don't start with "it has to be this type combo"

EDIT: Actually, now I remember what I did: after settling on a type combination, *then* I do a search of similar type combos and how my suggestion compares(moves, height, weight, evolution... everything). I then might or might not adjust accordingly. After that I often look for otherwise similar pokemon that already exist(in PF archives or games themselves) - my suggestions were canine, so points of reference were from Mightyena, Ninetales, Absol & their kin.

When life gives you lemons, you steal the sugar and put it on salt shakers.

Right?

When one of my current suggestions are commented on, I'll put in another one of a 2-Pokemon line of Wind/Steel Pokemon, so that could be crossed off. The reason for this is something interesting I found while looking through the Type Lookup. I'll explain more when I put it up.

I think this a good-reference for anyone who wants to see if one of their suggestions are using an unused type combination. Of course, they could easily use the Type Look-up, but it is interesting to see them all at once.

Considering Squirrelay's comment, one of the Pokemon in my Giants of Pokemon suggestion is Rock/Light, crossing off another.

I have a Community idea that's Poison/Ice, but that's the only one I've seen.

You should only cross off the type combos of suggestions that have been approved.

THANK YOU for saying something positive Squirrelay! O_o
Why does everyone jump on this with negativity? Relax people. Negativity kills the creative process.

One idea I had was a Fire/Psychic Pokemon, a Paper Lantern creature with the Wonderguard ability. And for a Wind/Steel Pokemon I had an idea of a sort of Windmill Spirit. That idea comes from a documentary I saw in which some Aboriginal Austalians had their first contact with white society when they saw a windmill on the horizon at dusk, and thought it was an evil spirit. Interesting how people interpret things they do not understand.

@NARFra: I understand that you didn't, but other people have and I just wanted to mention to those individuals that haven't had their pokemon approved yet. A suggestion's typing isn't set in stone.

@AlexFantastico: You're welcome. That's an interesting idea for the windmill, but shouldn't it be part ghost? Also Wonderguard a little powerful of an ability. It's only okay on Shedinja because of its 1 HP stat, so as long as you mention low HP with your suggestion, I will be fine with it.

Yeah, it would definitely only have 1 HP! Althoughhh, in a double battle, you can send out Shedinja and Ditto, use Transform on Shedinja, and you basically get Shedinja with decent HP!... Just an interesting tidbit there...

And no, I don't think the Windmill Spirit would be ghost type. If anything, I would add the Dark type. But Pokemon can't have four types unfortunately :P For the longest time I could never remember what Gligar's typing was, since it seems like it ought to be Poison/Bug/Ground/Flying! xP
