Charizard is the most infamous example of a Type-Doesn't-Match-Looks. It looks like it should be Dragon type, but it is in fact Fire/Flying. (Mega Charizard X, however, subverts this example by swapping out the Flying type for Dragon.)
However, there are many more.
However, there are many more.
- Goomy is a bizarre purple blob, such that first glance may give you the idea of a Psychic or Ghost type. But lo and behold, it's a dragon. What the what?!
- Then there's Gyarados, which looks like it should be a Dragon-type but is Water/Flying with a Water/Dark mega.
- We also have Nihilego, or UB Symbiont. Its icy colors and rounded hat motif bring to mind Ice/Fairy or Ice/Psychic at first glance. I was SHOCKED when I first found out it is actually Rock/Poison.
- Next on the list is another UB - Pheromosa aka UB Beauty. It does not look like it should be a Fighting type! But you can somewhat see the roach element that makes it a Bug...
- Lugia looks like it should be a Dragon of sorts but is really Psychic/Flying.
- Luxray has an appearance that brings to mind a part Dark-type, but in reality, it is pure Electric.
- Midnight Form Lycanroc is a pure Rock type despite being spooky enough to look qualified as Rock/Dark or even Rock/Ghost.
- Galarian Ponyta concludes the list (as far as I can remember) by looking like a Fairy of sorts but really being pure Psychic.
