Necrozma is psychic, and he’s the opposite of light. Dark is the opposite of psychic, thus darkness is the actual light type.
>>
>>57199646
noted
>>
>>57199646
people only want him as a dark type because he's black and edgy

cowards. if you want to give him a secondary type, make it psychic. or fuck, even fairy. both make more sense than dark.
>>
>>57199666
nope, you got satan trips
if anything luxray should be part fire type because hell is full of fire and brimstone, which might actually be pretty cool and a big improvement
there's plenty of good physical fire types so giving it a part fire typing would let it get better use out of its 120 base attack

Wow so darn hard to just change some dex entries to make it fit the dark(predator) type.

it doesn't work as dark, never did

>>57199646
b-b-but he looks dark just like my wife's boyfriend and her son!

I don't care that it doesn't fit. Luxray is a shitmon and Dark type would make it less awful

Luxray being Electric/Dark isn't going to unfuck Shit Freak's ineptitude with physical Electric type Pokemon.
>>
>>57199858
turn wild charge into volt tackle and volt tackle into electric close combat so you can use it with focus sash. it's time

X-ray uses x-rays not light.

lux itself is light, which also have rays.

There is absolutely fucking nothing about x-rays in this Pokemon

X-ray vision

X-Ray = health hazard = evil = dark type

That only work in this magic way for superman.
X-Rays don't work like that.

He's electric type, so he probably uses electromagnetism to "see", like a shark does

Röentgen is a measure of radiation exposure, not another name for X-rays.

X-rays are photons, its the same thing as light just a much higher frequency.

Why isn't every pokemon that hunts a dark type then? You should try being less stupid and non white

Psychic would work great for a split evo.
>>
>>57199646
Agreed
Luxray should be light type
>>
>>57199647
Just being a predatory animal is exactly the justification Gamefreak uses for several of its dark types, so this really isn’t an argument at all.
>>

>Just being a predatory animal is exactly the justification Gamefreak uses for several of its dark types

>>
>>57199647
>does not fit these descriptions
Except that It literally does. It uses underhanded tactics (xray vision) to hunt. It makes as much sense for it to be dark as for something like Mightyena or Liepard, and Dark suits Luxray a lot more than it does Absol.
It's still baffling to see autists seethe endlessly at this type change that sometimes appears in romhacks.
>>57199665

Introduce Radiation type and add it to Luxray.

>>57200451
>It uses underhanded tactics (xray vision) to hunt.
How is that underhanded? It's using what it's naturally born with to hunt. Is it underhanded when a flying type eats a bug?
>>
>>57200440
Mightyena.
It's dex entries are literally about how fiercely loyal and straight forward it is.
>>
>>57200458
>Mega should be Fairy
Wait, it isn't?
>>
>>57200464
The first dex entry it ever received mentions its savageness.
>>
>>57200440
>Mightyena
>Sneasel
>Liepard
>Umbreon
>Scrafty
>Sharpedo
>Cscturne
>Krookodile
None of these dark types have anything in their original dex entries that say they have hunting methods that makes them out to be more "evil" than other hunting pokemon, especially when compared to Luxray. Cope and seethe.
>>
>>57200472
>MIGHTYENA gives obvious signals when it is preparing to attack. It starts to growl deeply and then flattens its body. This POKéMON will bite savagely with its sharply pointed fangs.

Idk that sounds like predatory animal behavior.

This is why every one of those are dark type. Stop being a retarded illiterate.
>>
>>57200483
Yeah, and? Just being a predator doesn't make things dark type. Otherwise fearow would be a dark type.
>>
>>57200463
>How is that underhanded?
How is Mightyena hunting in packs and being a savage underhanded?
>It's using what it's naturally born with to hunt. Is it underhanded when a flying type eats a bug?
Going by this retarded logic, no pokemon should be a dark type because they are "naturally born" as dark types and simply use what they know to hunt. If you can't see the difference between a bird eating bugs and an edgy design like Luxray that uses x ray vision to hunt then you're retarded and autistic.
>>
>>57200506
>How is Mightyena hunting in packs and being a savage underhanded?
It's not and no one said it is.
>Going by this retarded logic, no pokemon should be a dark type because they are "naturally born" as dark types and simply use what they know to hunt.
Glad you see that its retarded and that hunting has nothing to do with being dark type. You're so stupid.

because they *just* hunt, and it's not part of their theme, pokemon like mightyena are dark because we think of them hyenas mostly as scavengers, not as nice pets
>>
>>57200497
Yeah that's the point. The only thing justifying mightyena is being a dark type is being a predator. otherwise all it's traits asides from being black are pretty anti-dark.

This means that all it takes to be a dark type is being a predatory animal. However, other pokemon hunt and are not dark type, making that statement of yours completely retarded. Good luck in the future.
>>
>>57200547
>This means that all it takes to be a dark type is being a predatory animal. However, other pokemon hunt and are not dark type, making that statement of yours completely retarded.
No, Im saying that it's hunting gets more focus for this species. It's yuo who can't justify why those Pokemon are dark type.
>>
>>57200547
I'm literally agreeing with you. Trying to use justify Mightyena as a dark type off the first entry but say it isn't about being predatory is silly.
>>
>>57200555
If Mightyena is a dark type, luxray can be a dark type since they clearly have similar predatory behavior.
A lot of pokemon can justifiable be made into a dark type based on the same logic and that's fine.
>>
>>57200491
>just a bunch of descriptors for hunting methods
So dark type is about hunting, gotcha.
>>
>>57200463
> It's using what it's naturally born with to hunt
Just like most dark types. Cacturne use their superior stamina in the desert to hunt, Weavile use their superior social brains to hunt, and so on.
>>
>>57200566
>This means that all it takes to be a dark type is being a predatory animal. However, other pokemon hunt and are not dark type, making that statement of yours completely retarded.
Only because you're retarded and can't see how distinct visually and thematically dark type Pokemon are.

Luxray should be dark too, it's the odd one out here

Dark/Normal would've worked really well on Pooch and Mightyena, though I guess that would've made them even bigger shitmons

The Luxray dark type shit is such a tired complaint, both Redditors and 4chinners are two sides of the same crusty coin.

In PMDEOT/D The Luxray clan attacks the protagonists via ambush in Amp Plains, even when they were begging them to listen. That's enough for me.
Also it's more fun to use, rare type combo as well.
>>
>>57201171
This.
>>
>>57199646
This thread has some good examples on how inconsistent Dark-typing is. Sometimes things are given Dark-type because of ferocity, sometimes because they’re predatory, sometimes because they have dark colors.
>>
I always thought part ice type would be cool, since I thought it had been shown to use it's xray vision to help find people lost in the snow
>>
>>57201190
Every child would've easily put all those categories under "dark".
>>
>>57201260
Yeah, except that sometimes those things don’t count for some reason. Gamefreak either has some other, hidden factor for why things may not be Dark-type or they just flip a coin.

hating single type pokemon and thinking a dual type on a specific pokemon makes no sense is not mutually exclusive
>>
>>57201446
I'd lean more towards the "flip a coin" option
Jellicent was originally just a mono Water type before it was decided to add the Ghost typing "for the sake of balance"

Ignore this shitty thread, the moron who made it is a sperg who frequents the sharty and constantly shits out threads over the same fangames he's obsessed with, which are Rejuvenation and Reborn.
If you see someone on /vp/ nonstop shitting out threads about the following Pokemon: Sandslash, Blaziken, Talonflame, Arcanine and Aggron.
There is a high likelihood it's him, he is also the faggot constantly spamming threads like "Give Arcanine Dragon Dance". He used to shit up the /vp/ play threads up until recently before the tripfags told him to fuck off again and he goes by Musk. He also constantly starts up fights with trannies and faggots on rule 34 under the name NymphisFae, then inevitably report spams their comments if they say anything about the characters he obsesses over, he does similar things on /vp/ whenever people say anything he doesn't like.

Pure Electric is so boring though. Raichu, Amoharos, Manectric, Zebstrika, Boltund... like fuck, we need some flavour. Even Helioptile's half normal typing is more interesting at this point.
