How many dual-type Pokemon have a set of unique typings?
So I know that this question may be a bit confusing, but let me explain.
Let’s take the Aegislash line for example. Their ghost- and steel-type are unique, meaning that no other Pokemon have that dual typing (I think).
So are there any other Pokemon with typings that are like this? If so, can you name them? Also, please tell me how many in the beginning of the answer!

This list will not be affected by the order of types. For instance, Sableye’s typing of Dark/Ghost does not count as unique, as it shares it with Spiritomb, a Ghost/Dark type.
There are 47 Pokemon evolution lines that have a unique type combination.

Hope I helped!
https://pokemondb.net/type/dualshows the number of Pokemon with each distinct type combination. It doesn’t factor in the specific order of the types, so for example Volcanion is listed under both Water/Fire and Fire/Water (order is functionally irrelevant unless the Pokemon manages to use Revelation Dance). By counting the number of rows that have a “1” by them, we get 46, but again each of these types really flip-flops between two orders so you have to cut the number in half to get23 Pokemon with unique type combinations.
This doesn’t factor in cases like Aegislash where an entire evolution line shares the type combo but otherwise nothing else gets it; you can look through the chart yourself to see which cases that’s true for. Click on the number and it will show you all the Pokemon that qualify for that type combination.
