Which Pokemon go from dual-typed to single-typed upon evolution?

2 minute read

Now this isn’t like a typing being changed. Like scyther and scizor, where first it was a bug-flying but after evolution its bug-steel. Its a typing being completely LOST but not being replaced by another typing. Is there any such Pokemon?

The only ones who lose a type upon evolving are those mentioned in the comments already.Bellossomloses the Poison-typing after evolving from Gloom andAggron Mega Evolvingcauses it to lose its Rock-typing.

There’s a few examples of Pokemon that share no types with their pre-evolutions.

The obvious one is Eevee, who is normal type, but has evolutions in 8 different types.Cubone can also evolve into Alolan Marowak, which has two types, neither of which being ground.

It’s not especially common, but it does happen. The reality is it’s rare because evolutions tend to want to show some similarities by design, and typing is a great way of signaling this. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible if there’s a better fit though.

I’ll post a few that I know:Torracat becomes Incineroar which adds the “Dark” typing to its fire typing

Brionne becomes Primarina which adds the “Fairy” typing to its water typing

Seedot becomes Nuzleaf which adds the “Dark” typing to its grass typing

Charmeleon becomes Charizard which adds the “Flying” typing to its fire typing

Metapod becomes Butterfree which adds the “Flying” typing to its bug typing

Pikachu (in Alola) becomes (Alolan) Raichu which adds the “Psychic” typing to its electric typing

Nidorino & Nidorina become Nidoking (Nidorino) & Nidoqueen (Nidorina) which both add the “Ground” typing to their poison typing

(Alolan) Vulpix becomes (Alolan) Ninetales which adds the “Fairy” typing to its ice typing

Poliwhirl can become Poliwrath which adds the “Fighting” typing to its water typing

(Galarian) Ponyta becomes (Galarian) Rapidash which adds the “Fairy” typing to its psychic typing

(Galarian) Slowpoke becomes either (Galarian) Slowbro or (Galarian) Slowking which adds the “Poison” typing to its psychic typing

Shellder becomes Cloyster which adds the “Ice” typing to its water typing

that was way more than a few but whatever
