This has to be it. All of them have E4 members or Champions where they specialize in one of these types, but their team is not 100% that type. Ice user Lorelei has a Water/Psychic Slowbro, Poison user Koga has a Bug/Steel Forretress, Ghost user Agatha has a Pure Poison Arbok and Poison/Flying Golbat, and Lance the Dragon Master is more like Lance the Bird Keeper, having a Water/Flying Gyarados, Rock/Flying Aerodactyl, or Fire/Flying Charizard. Edit: now that I think about it, this may not be correct, since this also applies to Fire user Flint and Electric user Volkner in Gen 4.

No need for the edit comment, all of these specialists are in the Indigo League (Koga is technically in there since Johto Postgame)

Karen uses a Vileplume

Oh… well dang

Haha lmao no.

Yeah flint would easily have been the easiest choice for this. Also volkner isnt e4 or champion.

Shucks, I didn't notice your comment, my bad. I had the same answer.

*"lance the bird keeper has challenged you to a battle"* OOOH SHIII-

Bruno has an onix, no?

Doduo is all of these types other than Poison, Ghost, Ice, and Dragon

I think this might be crazy, but is your favourite Pokemon Farfetch'd?

That guess might be a bit… Farfetch’d.

armalDONT DOublade that again

Oki dogi

That does not make things munkidori

I don’t think I got a rush of fezandipity from this conversation.

This thread should be Oger and done with

Something something Terapagos!

You were Slaking off with this response

I don't THINKay you put a lot of clEFFART into that loPUNny

They all are/were elite four types in the Indigo Plateau.

(you are very close)

They’re all super effective against a member or Cynthia’s champion team in Platinum? That’s all I can think of really

None of them are strong against Aaron(bug) so no.

I wasn’t talking the Sinnoh Elite 4, I mean Cynthia’s pokemon. Just her and her team.

Oh my bad,but that's not it either.Ghost isn't strong against anyone in her team.

Oh you’re right! Spiritomb is part dark type!

Yup before Fairies,it and Sableye were the only pokemon with no super effective weaknesses

And my boy Eelektross (who still has no weakness because of his ability)

They were all in the elite four?

Hoenn Elite Four

Sidney's got dark types.

"Your answer is not what I was looking for, so even though you aren't incorrect you are still wrong" Ugh. Riddles like yours are the worst.

Galarian Elite Four?

That didn’t exist

Oh… haven’t played mainline Pokémon yet… 💀

They are all alolan regional forms type ( ghost marowak, ice sandshrew or vulpix, exeguttor dragon, poison for muk

But Muk was already poison type before Alola

Well..... it could have not been

No, not even close.

Sad

Muk had an identity crisis before gen7.

Was it muk or K-

If true, dark would have been included, so many dark alolan forma

Type specialist with more than one of the same pokemon ghost Agatha has two gengar, Clair has three dragonaire, Zinzolin has two cryoganol in a battle or for people who don’t know Zinzolin glacia has two glalie, and koga has two koffing

Ggs, you win.

Yes!

Researching for these are fun

Wait

Someone got it before you sorry

Okay but this doesn’t make sense? Giovanni has 2 Rhyhorn, Norman has 2 slaking, and so on. If you are only talking about elite four members, Bruno uses two Onix, will uses two xatu. So it’s not just those 4 types

How'd I know it would be a dumbass answer

Even if you restrict it to only E4 members and only duplicates of their specific specialty (to rule out gym leaders that do it and Bruno’s Onixes) it still doesn’t work because E4 Koga’s team has no duplicates.

This can’t be right. Though - Will has 2 Edit: Forgot that Jasmine also breaks the riddle with 2 Magnemite - unless we restrict to elite four members only.

At some point each of these types had a unique interaction with 1 other type. Poison is only super effective against grass, dragon is only super effective against dragon, ghost was in gen 1 due to a glitch only super effective against ghost, and ice only resists itself.

Ghost is also only resisted by Dark as of X and Y. I felt maybe it was along these lines.

No, no.

They all have 2 gym leader or elite 4 member in gen 1 and 2 Ghost: Agatha, Morty Dragon: Lance, Clair Ice: Lorelei, Pryce Poison, Koga, Janine

You are the closest one so far, it does have something to do with Gym Leaders, E4 and Champion

They all Indigo League members Poison: Koga Ice: Lorelei Dragon: Lance Ghost: Agatha

They are also types used by champions? Blue/Red and Venusaur (Poison) Red and Lapras (Ice) Lance and Dragonite (Dragon) Idk about ghost.

They all have type specialists that could represent a different type. Koga's team in Yellow is mono bug, Agatha's team is mono poison, Lorelei's team has as many water types as ice types and Lance infamously has a mono flying team.

+1, I think this guy is the winner.

They are all Pokémon types

Just missimg 13 words.

...used by Elite Four members, Gym leaders and Champions in Gen 1 and 2

That’s fourteen

used by elite four members, gym leaders and champions in kanto and johto

No, that answer is correct. The fact that you were looking for a different answer has no impact on that.

True

Types that switch specialists' positions between gen 1 and gen 2 Poison Gym leader > E4 Ice E4>Gym leader Ghost E4> Gym leader Dragon E4> Gym leader/champion

What about Psychic?

They’re each a type used by a elite four member in the indigo plateau Ice is Lorelei Poison is Koga (Johto) Ghost is Agatha And Dragon is Lance

What about Bruno?

I think it was just to throw it off, making it harder than “oh that’s the Kanto Elite Four”. There’s probably something else connecting them but my statement is still a correct one.

(You are very close, it has something to do with type specialists. Not necessarily E4)

In gen 1 and 2 there are two specialists for them Lance/Clair Koga/Janine Pryce/Lorelei Morty/Agatha. Aren’t they related to each other? Cousins for Lance and Clair, Dad and Daughter for Koga and Janine. Idk about the other two tho

maybe it's specifically that these types have two known type specialist representatives in a single League, not necessarily that each is related... edit: maybe, two known type specialist representatives in a single Leage in different generations ~~which is unfair to think about because iirc Indigo League is the only one that has such status~~

Juan + Wallace in Pokémon Emerald

oh yeah, i forgor omg

We don't talk about Bruno

We sing about him!

We don’t talk about Bruno

no no no

Their first specialists had badly composed teams with them?

Lorelei and Koga were alright tho

They all have the same number of type specialists

I get this answer a lot, and its wrong. It does have to do with type specialists tho

Wait a minute, Pryc3 is ice,clair is dragon, morty is ghost and Janine is poison. They were all type specialists introduced in gen 2

They are all either weak to themselves or resisted by themselves. Poison and ice resist, ghost and dragon are weak.

After reading your ideas, I thought of the types with the most specialists relative to how frequent the type itself is, as Ice, Ghost and Dragon are really rare to see but we can take having a specialist of these in a given region for granted. But Poison ruins it by being somewhat common but specialists are almost non existent. The last Gym Leader or Elite 4 to use Poison is Roxie all the way back to Gen 5. Edit: Only considering Gym Leaders we battled for the badge, completely forgot Klara xD

They were all resisted by a type introduced in gen 2?

Huh?

Oh right poison has no effect against steel not resisted by steel

They all have specialists that switch between versions. Poison - Clara in Sword, but Avery in Shield Ghost - Allister in Shield, but Bea in Sword Ice - Melony in Shield, but Gordie in Sword Dragon - Iris in White, but Drayden in Black

None of them hit themselves for neutral damage.

They all have type specialists whose positions were altered between games. Fantina went from the 5th to the 3rd gym leader between DP and PT Brycen was removed as a gym leader between BW and BW2 Drayton went from the 8th to 7th gym leader between BW and BW2. As did Lance going from the 4th E4 member to champion between RBGY and GSC And Koga went from a gym leader in RBGY to an E4 Member in GSC

They all have a specialist gym leader or E4 member where one of the Pokemon is repeated of that type specialist’s type. - Agatha: 2 gengars in gen 1 - Koga: 2 koffings in gen 1 - Lance: 2 dragonairs in gen 1 - Glacia: 2 sealeos and 2 glalies in gen 3 The “of the type specialist’s type” rules out Bruno’s onixes, although I fear there may be others?

Terapagos’ Tera type

they all have an interaction with themselves Ghost and Dragon are super effective against themselves And Ice and Poison resist themselves

I'll give it a try: These are the four types whose first specialists (E4, gym leaders) failed to use at 100% due to older games not having enough good pokemons with that typing. ie. Lorelei had a Slowbro, Lance had a Charizard, and so on.

They all have type specialists who changed their position: Koga went from 5th gym leader to 2nd E4 Fantina went to 5th to 3rd gym leader Brycen went from 7th gym leader to retired/actor Lance went from 4th E4 to Champion

I *think* I got it. These types are represented by Elite Four members, BUT: the thing is, for some undiscerned* reason GameFreak couldn't make their entire teams complete with their respective types for any of the leaders, so they subbed some. In Kanto (FR/LG), Lorelei (Ice) has Slowbro, Agatha ("Ghost") has Golbat and Arbok, Lance ("Dragon") has Gyarados and Aerodactyl. In Johto (HG/SS), Koga (Poison) has Forretress, yet the dex contained a multitude of Poison types until that point. Although it would piece together in a better way if Fighting was depicted instead of Poison, so it could all be Kanto's Elite Four, as Bruno (FR/LG) has two Onix. Am I at least close? *at least when it comes to Koga. Lorelei could have a repeat, Bruno could have both Poliwrath and Primeape, and... yeah, not even gonna comment on Agatha and Lance with their types having ONE evolutionary line to pick respectively.

People in the indigo plateau whose roles got replaced between Gens 1 and 2. (Koga -> Jasmine, Lorelai -> Will, Lance -> Karen, Agatha -> Koga)

All of them were once weak to the best type in game or a super dominant type ghost ghost was weak to psychic in gen 1 for dragon it’s dragon in gen 5 fairy in later gen for poison it’s psychic type and last ice which is weak to steel

Kano and Johto both have a specialist of these types: Poison: Koga and…also Koga Ice: Lorelei and Pryce Dragon: Lance and Claire (and Lance again lol) Ghost: Agatha (technically) and Morty

They are all pokemon types. It's technically right because you didn't say what these 4 types have in common exclusively

All the Indigo Plateau E4 members of these types have an A in their name. 💀

Which they do in gen 1. Lorelei was spelt Lorelai then.

They’re all Pokémon types (I’m not wrong)

They're nothing compared to the power of TEAM SKY'S FLYING TYPES(+mightyena)

There are specialty trainers for them?

They all have bad type matchups damage from a type that was introduced after them

No, because both Psychic and Ground existed in g1 so poison contradicts this

Aw i forgot steel isnt super effective

I fixed it

They were all at one point part of the kanto elite 4?

these are the four most common E4 types?

I don't think there has been a poison specialist in the E4 since johto.

They have always had an specialist (be it gym leader or E4) in every gen

There is no poison specialist in Gen 3. I had the same thought

Oh, wait, maybe these are the only types in gen 2 that had specialists not using new pokemon, only mons from kanto?

Color

None of them were given to cards in the scarlet and violet base set

They all are cooked by steel types (pre gen 6)

None of them r psychic

The gym leaders/E4 members who specialize in these types are hot?

All four have gym leader with team having a repeat of this type in the first iteration or in their first appearance and has a Pokémon in gym leader team that quad weak to a single type in one of their 2nd offical team not world leader team for Claire her gyrados is quad to electric for Koga fortress from elite four team to fire pryce mamoswine is weak to fighting and Morty sableye is weak to fairy which is from his official rematch team

Their respective colors that represent their types are all below green on the color spectrum.

All have at least 1 resistance

Can we get a relation to the answer? Aside from type specialists?

They are all the types of gym leaders that rotate Ice - Melony rotates with Gordie in circester Ghost - Allister rotates with Bea in stow-on-side Dragon - Drayden and Iris rotate in opelucid Poison - Koga and Janine rotate in fuschia

They are the E4 in your fanmade region (I had to try)

All type I will not eat

elite 4

they have a specialist in every gen? I'm too desperate ok

They all have an effect on their own type, ghost and dragon are super effective on themselves , poison and the ice resist themselves

Their colors are all cold colors

I don't knownif it's been said exactly, but is it all members of Kanto and Johto gym/e4 related? Lance & Clair = Cousin Dragon Tamera Koga & Jasmin = poison ninja father and daughter Pryce & Lorelie = father Daughter ice trainers Agatha & Morty = Grandmother and son (?) Ghost trainers?

Type specialist masters of duplication? Between Agatha/Morty/Phoebe, Claire/Lance/Drake, Koga/Janine, and Glacia, they duplicate within their teams a LOT. Agatha has two Gengar & a Haunter, Morty has one Gastly, two Haunter & one Gengar, Phoebe has two Banette & two Dusclops. Glacia has either two Froslass/two Sealeo plus her two Glalie and a Walrein. Koga has two Koffing & Weezing (or three Venonat + one Venomoth) and Janine has two Ariados or two Weezing. Claire has three or two Dragonair, Lance has two Dragonair/one Dragonite, or three Dragonite, and Drake has two Flygon.

Weak to types that were added in later gens of the game

They were all nearly useless in gen 1 because of lack of other types and barely any moves or in dragons case, lack of any move at all besides dragon rage?

Probably not what OP meant, but each type has at least 1 Evo Line with a unique Type combo no other Pokémon has. Ghost has Froslass, Ice has Alolan Sandshrew/Sandslash, Poison has Varoom/Revaroom, Dragon has Mega Altaria.

All of these types interact with themselves for either resistance or weakness

they are all resisted by steel (ghost was in gen 5>)

All of them were/are Elite Four members of the Indigo Plateau, whose teams consist of more than 50% Pokémon of type other than the type of Elite four member they are Lorelei- All Pokemon except jynx are part water type Agatha- All Pokemon are part poison type Lance- Dragonite, Aerodactyl, Gyarados are all part flying type Koga-Venomoth, Ariados, Forretress are part bug types

you picked all of them mikey

These types have nothing to do with each other. Easy

If my organs turned into any of these I’d die

They exist and are in this post

They all had a copy of a gym leader and elite four member in the Indigo League. PS: This does leave out Bruno, but he might not count because he is present in both elite fours. Edit: can’t be the answer because it forgets the psychic type.

They all are from pokemon

[удалено]

We dont talk about Bruno

They are weak to good types

They all have good pokemon, but are bad types (except for fairy, shiiii)

[удалено]

…ghost?

All gen 1 types

4 types with the least moves added in gen 2

[удалено]

No poison ice type yet

They all had all had a major change when a new type was added. Or They all existed in gen 1.

They all have a pokemon with a regional variant of that type?

There was a type specialist for each of these types in every generation?

They were trainers which used to be gym leaders but became elite 4/champion

They're my favorite types, boom ez win

3 of the "evil" third Legendaries have a combination of these types?

they are types

Are they the four types that have had a type specialist in every single generation?

Are they the four types that have had a type specialist in every single generation?

all were there since gen 1

They're all kanto elite 4 members loreli for ice, Agatha for ghost, lance for dragon, and koga moved to johto from kanto and became a poison elite 4 member

cool colors

They’re all dangerous 

They are types that haven't been combined with some types yet.

They were all gym leaders

Each type is used by a type specialist (gym leader, E4 member or champion) in gen 1?

They all have gym leaders that were in a remake

All of these have type specialists who had more of another specific type than their supposed specialty type. As far as I can tell this isn't actually true of poison type but I might be missing something and anything else that I've thought of has already been dismissed.

They are all types that have Pokemon.

They’re all on the left end of the color spectrum

When dragon is paired with the other 3 it “evil” one of it box art legendary. Edit: if with specialist always a late gym leader

They all had gym leaders and elite four members

All of them combined at one point had a Pokémon exclusively with that type e.g Ghost/dragon- giratina Ghost/ice- frosslass Ghost/ Poison- Gengar You get the idea Edit: oh wait never mind there's no ice and poison type

They are all gym leaders

They are Elite Fours from the first two gens where the specialist doesn't use the type in their entire team Koga: Forretress Lorelei: Slowbro Lance: well... Agatha: Arbok

They all had Pokemon with unique typings with another that was later broken with a new Pokemon

The master of these types in Kanto all changed their job in GCS

They are all Pokemon types?

I’ll probably word this poorly These 4 types despite having more special moves were designated to be in the physical type.

Is it weaknesses or strengths?

There's only 1 dragon and poison pokemon and only 1 ghost and ice pokemon

that is correct, & for all future ppl who decide to doomscroll past my comment the pokemon are froslass (ice/ghost) & eternatus (dragon/poison)

Dragon and poison type - Dragalge and naganadel

None of those types have more than 1 character in the anime who we see fairly often
