Let’s See These Unusued Pokemon Types ASAP
Poison/Electric – Plasmanta
It’s surprising that Poison/Electric hasn’t paired up yet. Both types are prolific at spreading around status effects, and having a Pokemon that could easily take advantage of both Paralysis or Poison would be a pretty neat concept.
That’s not exactly the idea behind Plasmanta, another Smogon CAP collaborative idea, but it’s another creative imagining of what a unique typing could look like with a competitive spin.
Plasmanta is designed to be an ideal doubles partner capable of countering an eclectic mix of Pokemon with its one of a kind typing. It also has the added benefit of being an aquatic Pokemon, and one of its proposed abilities, Storm Drain, allows it to absorb all water attacks and boost its special attack in the process.
Plasmanta is a great example of how you can be creative with typing even within a played out class of Pokemon like fish. Not everything aquatic has to have a Water-type (the most common type in all of Pokemon).
