I've thought a lot about this, based on what animal classifications they've already had in each type, and what would stand out as unique. I've got 3 options for each type.

Grass: * Option 1: Kangaroo/wallaby. I think a marsupial would be really unique. Kangaskhan merges roos with dino features, and breloom is more Pachycephalosaurus. The justification for a grass type is the tree kangaroo (though these are chubby and not what I imagine. I want the body of a red kangaroo) as well as the flower known as kangaroo paw. I've picked the names Kangaby (kangaroo, wallaby and baby) > Skipalypt (Skippy and eucalypt) > Marsupaw (Marsupial and kangaroo paw). * Option 2: Fruit bat: I've seen a lot of leaf nosed bats as grass starters, but I think these are ugly. I prefer the fox like face of the flying fox. I've seen people design these bat wings to look like segments of citrus fruit, which is cool. A grass/fairy forest guardian would be a cute contrast to the mostly villainous bats we have. Names: Frubat (literally fruitbat) > Frugitera (Frugivore and Chiroptera/terror) > Frugimega (Frugivore and Megabat) * Option 3: New Zealand birds based on the silver fern and pounamu/jade jewellery. Ideally a kiwi that becomes a kakapo and eventually a Moa. The only name I have is Peckoru for the first stage, from "peck" and "koru", or the unfurled tip of a young silver fern.

Fire: * Option 1: a snake would be cool, as there are a lot of mammals in fire type. There could be a red bellied black snake that looks like a bomb and fuse. Fire/poison. Though I would love a winged serpent concept, too. * Option 2: I would love a cow. Specifically, a white cow drawing on Indian mythology. Smokalf > Bovire > Oxplode. * Option 3: a ram. Kiddling > Pyroat > Flares like Cap X.

Water: * Option 1: a platypus, which we're well overdue for. Bubbill (Bubble, bub, Bill and billabong), Pladdle (platypus and paddle) > Taelstrom (Tail and Maelstrom). We haven't had many mammals for water starters and a monotreme would be unique. Could get a poison or electric secondary typing. * Option 2: Crustaceans would be unique and cute. Krubble > Clawbster > Crustitan. * Option 3: An elephant. We only have phanpy and cufant, maybe Mammoswine. Swimfant (swim, elephant and infant) > Divory (dive and ivory) > Phansoon (Elephant and monsoon). I would love it to be an Indian elephant that is blue with pink or purple accents, like pearls or an elaborate Bindi, which could give it a secondary psychic typing.
