in reality, dead coral leaves rock behind, so it should still be rock

Runerigus, Claydol and Golurk should all be Rock. They're made out of clay. Not WET unsculpted clay, they're made out of the finished product. You make bricks with clay. It's a hard material, it's clearly a fucking rock.

Althought I like the idea of Runerigus being Ghost/Dragon (because of the serpent painting)

Don't get too worked up over typing. GF really doesn't put that much thought into them, at least not as much as you

>>57213141
Because they’re under no obligation to fulfill your fantasies, anon

Because there'd be too many Water types. Ignore that they added 5 new fish mon in Gen 8.

The had a boner for single type pokemon in Gen 8 for some reason, both Corsola/Cursola and Runerigus could've been Ghost/Rock type but noooooo they wanted to be retarded.

>>57213141
regional variants were always a mistake that exist for no reason other than nostalgia pandering

>>57213141
Because its actual body is ethereal now and doesn't hold water

If we change clay to being rock instead of ground, like it has always been in Pokemon, then we no longer have a Ground/Psychic pokemon, because claydol and baltoy are the only ones

The same reason Lugia isn't water, it's just a game design/balance thing in reality and nothing more.

>>57213182
None of the Pokédex entries even mention that Runerigus is made out of clay. The runestones that it's based on weren't either. It should fully just be Ghost/Rock.

>>57213141
IF anything it should lose a grass type because the algae in it is dead

>>57213141
It's much more poignant if it loses both its identity-giving types and becomes a mono type of a different color.
They wanted to communicate "this isn't the living Corsola anymore, actually, so the types are also completely different".
