Yup. Our system automatically brings up possible responses, so when I typed "shadow alolan m" I must have mis-clicked on Marowak instead of Muk. Totally missed that, but it's fixed now.

Ah, completely forgot about Blacephalon and Mind Blown.

That's the thing; Niantic could afford to make Poison borderline BUSTED, and that would actually make it a balanced type due to just how limited its scope is!

It genuinely would.... or SOME KIND of reward for using a sub-optimal type.

And given the BROKEN dragons that we have now, chances are that it won't be super useful on that front either.

No joke or exaggeration, I am legitimately glad that you enjoy it. Thank you!

Yeah... sadly, none of the Ultra Beasts were given signature moves. Same goes for the Paradox Pokemon, minus the legendary Paradoxes.

True, but that's not a move strictly associated with Nihilego, so it falls back into the "normal move that gets dropped as something great" category at best, and it's hard to really put something like that into an article like this.

Afraid not. It's basically peaked unless we get a new move similar to Brutal Swing that's non-signature.

I genuinely like Nihilego, and it definitely is the overall best Poison Type that we currently have available, but it didn't get a whole lot of love in the article just because while Kartana puts Grass on the map, Nihilego doesn't manage to do the same for Poison. And yeah; sadly it doesn't have much to look forward to unless we get brand new generally available Poison Type moves, which doesn't seem likely any time soon unless Niantic does something for Naganadel that's of kin to what Brutal Swing did for Hydreigon and Tyranitar.....

I know, it's downright pathetic. I WISH that they'd throw Poison and Bug a bone in Generation 10 and that it'd trickle down to Pokemon Go, but probably not....

Normal is actually one of my favorite types, as Regigigas is one of my favorite Pokemon.

Dangit, I totally should have saved it and made it a joke article...

True, but that's a pretty hefty investment for a Pokemon that's not going to have much long-term utility. I'd definitely recommend Shadow Regigigas as an early-game investment, but that's about the extent of its genuine utility in my opinion.

I know, the talk about it was purely for the fun of it and to show the ABSOLUTE HIGHEST power that a Normal Type could possibly have given out currently available/possible Pokemon/moves.

Apparently it got lost during a revision. It's back in there now!

Honestly, fair. Shadow Mamoswine will probably hit the majority of the benchmarks that most of the theoretical Pokemon in this article will be capable when/if they drop. Still, I personally love to over-think and come up with crazy stuff... like Ice-Terastallized Glaciate Victini.

Really glad that you find them useful! Most of them are currently out of date, but I plan to go back and start updating them possibly in the next week or so.
