Bollywood: Every Pokémon With A Unique Type Combination

Pokémon has quite the large stable of adorable pocket monsters for prospective trainers to choose from. While Pokémon started way back in 1996 with only 151 creatures, that number has swollen with each new generation to include 898 Pokémon. Each of these little fighters has a type, or combination of types, that reflect its fighting style and environment, though there are still 17 unused Pokémon Type combinations. While the number of types combinations have increased along with the total number of Pokémon, there's still a significant portion of the whole who possess a unique type combo.

Pokémon began life as a Game Boy game released by Nintendo but swiftly grew to encompass anime, books, trading card games, obscure manga origin stories, and all manner of pop culture. Now a household name, Pokémon continues to capture the imagination of generations of gamers with its fun mixture of monster collecting and strategic gameplay. Getting deep into the strategy of Pokémon requires some serious study, especially when it comes to Pokémon types.

The nature of playing Pokémon games requires players, or trainers, to collect and battle Pokémon to achieve gym badges in order to prove their skill. Trying to remember each Pokémon is a skill in and of itself, but knowing which Pokémon a trainer might need to overcome a challenge in any of the mainline Pokémon games is even more difficult, especially if one is attempting something difficult like a Pokémon Nuzlocke challenge. Unique type combinations are worth checking out because of their potential in combat, so here is a full list of every unique type combo in Pokémon as of Pokémon Sword & Shield

Knowing Pokémon type combos is only half the battle. Understanding how these type combos can be used in combat against other Pokémon is key to overcoming other trainers, both non-player trainers and online against human opponents. Getting into creating a solid team with solid type combo synergy is definitely the way forward, especially if players intend to meet Nintendo's challenges like defeating one million Cramorant in Sword & Shield. This list should be useful in deciding when and how to go after certain Pokémon who would make good additions to any team.

With a full 35% of all Pokémon having a unique type combo, there's a lot to learn. It is also important to understand that with each new generation, Pokémon might change their type combo. This has happened several times in the past and is liable to happen again, so trainers are recommended to keep their eyes and ears open concerning upcoming releases especially given Pokémon's upcoming 25th anniversary. For the more casual Pokémon collector, these unique type combos can make for a fascinating collection of pocket monsters.
