Can you suggest any pokemon that should be given new/another type/types?

1. Meganium should have been grass/dragon. I mean it was supposed to resemble a dinosaur so why not give it the appropriate type.

2. I've never understood why Garchomp is also a ground type. They should have broken tradition and kept the third evolution as solely dragon. Or maybe a Dragon/Water type would have suited it more because of it looks like a shark.

I wouldn't consider Meganium a dragon at all... I mean, by that logic, any pokemon based on a dinosaur would have to be a dragon type...

Anyways, lot's of pokemon have more than one type combination that would work... For instance, Beedrill could just as easily be considered a bug/flying type.

the gastly family shouldn't be poison, they gave them that type just to make them have weaknesses since in gen I there was no dark type and and only ghost attack had 20 power

the bulbasaur and bellsprout line do not look to poisonous neither

why is almost every bird normal type also?

Well, as I understand it, Gastly is made of poisonous gasses... But come to think of it, the Ghost type should be weak to psychic. It sort of feels to me like he's a poison type just so he has a psychic weakness, so I guess I agree with you there.

bellsprout line is poison/grass because it has acid in its bell. Is there any such thing as a pure flying type? thats crazy. Another interesting one is Gyradous. its known as a dragon, but its water/flying maybe it needs to be water/dragon. Water/flying is waayyyy to easy to kill. (hint hint just a little static shot here and there)

I don't think Palkia should be a Water/Dragon. he only reason it has water in it's type is because it represents Pearls and pearls come from the ocean.

If they were going to do that, they should have at least given it gills or something.

Gyarados being part flying does come with its advantages though. But I guess you're right if it was Water/dragon then it would be so much stronger.
