Will this type return one day, or is it gone for good?
It's gone, it was added as a failsafe in case some smart arse tried to hack one in, due to Curse actually being codded as "??? Type". When they changed Curse to be ghost type, they removed ??? type, thus removed ??? Type Arceus as they didn't need to handle that which didn't exist and couldn't be bullshitted to exist inn the game any longer.
>>59181799What was the point of making a new type just for Curse to begin with?
>>59181655The eggs have it, no?Or did they remove it?
>>59181812It was due to how they had to add it in Gen 2. They wanted it to be a ghost curse, but to "curse" the user if they were any other type. Meant they had to give it a "new" type and code its effects separately. By Gen 5, they were able to code dual effects so changed it to Ghost and deleted ???.
>>59181820Eggs haven't displayed type since gen 3.
>>59181655Functionally it still exists in the form of typelessness, like when a pure fire type uses Burn Up.
>>59181655I love the colour
>>59181655>>59181799>>59181832They should add it back in just for fun.
how do you pronounce it? Question marks type?
>>59181909>Hm?That's how
>>59181655>??? as an actual type>weak to psychic (solves mysteries), resists fairy (riddles have power over fae)>It and electric are weak to eachother
>>59181812>>59181832Its Japanese name is a pun. のろい can mean "curse" or "slow" depending on the kanji used to spell it.
>>59181913Fuck you don't give electric a weakness
>>59181913Pretty sure that ??? is just the same as typeless
>>59181655>>59181998a neutral "typeless" type could be kino, a bit like Divine in SMT and Persona>no weaknesses but no resistances either>unresisted but not SE against anything>moves can have high BP without drawbacks or great side effects to compensate
>>59182193But typeless still exists? You can achieve it by burn up.
>>59182193just use a burn up typhlosion
>>59181909"q-marks" or "typeless"
>>59181909[unintelligible] Type>>59181913>??? as an unpredictable type (unknown, chaotic, breaking laws of (game) physics, changing characteristics during battle, ...)>there might be not one, but a vast number of ??? Type "instances", randomly generated at the start of the battle (e.g. ordinary types with a few values changed, Null type, Omni Type, ...)>??? Type instances can vary in stability; stable instances have steady characteristics, unstable ones tend to change during battle; the more instable, the more frequent these changes occur>new type effectiveness value exclusive to this type (fatally effective, ∞x multiplier), which causes hit targets to instantly faint if the target's type is affected by the ??? Type move>because of this, fighting ??? Type pokemon can be very dangerious, as you cannot predict the foe's current or possible threat level>at best, the ??? Type is similar to ordinary types plus extra strengths or weaknesses>at worst, the very fabric of reality could be destroyed (corrupted savefile / game data) when interacting with ??? Type pokemon
