A lot of Pokémon look just like the type they are. For instance, Pikachu is an Electric-type Pokémon anꦺd, well, it looks like one. Pikachu is bright yellow with a lightning bolt-shaped tail and looks exactly like we might expect an Electric-type Pokémon to look.
While Pikachu looks exactly like we would expect an Electric-type Pokémon to look, there are also a lot of Pokémon that look nothing like their type. Although looking at a Pokém♑on can often tell you what type it's going to be, there are some that have a pretty distinct look to them and then... are not the type that they seem like they'd be.
To see 10 Pokémon that look nothing like their ty🥀pe, keep reading🍒!
Updated January 21st, 2020: To date, there are almost 900 Pokémon in the Pokédex! Although they may not all have made it into Pokémon Sword & Shield, the release of this new generation of Pokémon has us thinking about some of our favorites that have been added to the franchise. There are so many of them that look like they should be a different tyꦰpe that we decided to come back and add a few more!
15 ꦚ Mega Charizarꦐd X
Charizard is a Pokémon that was introduced in the first generation of the Pokémon franchise. It's the final evolutionary phase of Charmander, one of the three starter Pokémon that appeared in the Kanto region. Although Charizard doesn't evolve again, it can Mega Evolve with the use of different Charizar꧂dite Mega Stones.
If a player uses a Charizardite X on their Charizard, it will evolve u🍌p into Mega Charizard X. Mega Evolving increases its stats and makes it even more powerful, but it also makes it blue and black. However, it remains a Fire/Flying-type Pokémon. With its dragon-like appearance and blue accents, this Pokémon definitely looks more like it should be an Ice/Dragon-type Pokémon.
14 Nihilego
Nihilego is a dual-type Rock/Poison Pokémon that was introduced in Generation VII of the Pokémon franchise. It's one of the Ultra Beasts and goꦅes by th🍌e code name UB-01 Symbiont.
Despite the fact that this Pokémon is a Rock/Poꦆison-type, it definitely doesn't look like it. This Pokémon looks more like an ethereal jellyfish-like creature from outerspace. The Ultra Beasts are really unique, so the fa𓃲ct that it doesn't look like its type makes sense. Still, Nihilego looks a lot more like it should be a Fairy/Water-type Pokémon.
13 ꦡ Zygarde (50%)
Zygarde is a unique Pokémon because of the fact that it has a few different Formes. 🌄Despite the Forme that Zygarde takes on, this Legendary Pokémon remains a Dragon🐬/Ground-type.
This Pokémon was originally introduced in Generation VI, but Pokémon Sun & Moon got two additional Formes of Zygarde in the game. This Legendary Pokémon has a black and lime green body and a snake-like body. Because of♛ this Pokémon's coloring and snake-like appearance, it definitely looksꦇ a lot more like a Dark/Poison-type Pokémon.
12 Solrock
Solrock is a dual-type Rock/Psychic Pokémon that was introduced in Generation III of the Pokémon franchise. This Pokémon looks pretty similar ꦺto the sun with its orange, round body and the yellow ray-like appendages that come o🐠ut from around its entire body.
This Pokémon is a counterpart to Lunatone,🗹 another Rock/Psychic Pokémon that looks a lot like the moon. Considering the fact that Solrock and Lunatone are clearly designed to look like the sun and moon, it's pretty unusual that they're both just Rock/Psychic Pokémon. Solrock would make way more sense as a Rock/Fire-type Pokémon.
11 Lugia
Lugia is a Psychic/Flying-type Legendary Pokémon that was introduced in Generation II of the Pokémon franchise. This Pokémon is one half of the 🐬Tower Duo alongside Ho-Oh. Although the Flying-type part of this Pokémon is clear since it has large wings and is a bird, the Psychic-type half is what looks out of place.
Considering the Pokémon franchise's lore refers to Lugia as the "guardian of the seas" while Ho-Oh is the "guardian of the skies," having Lugia not be a Water-type seems so out of place.
10 Charizard
Charizard is one Pokémon that almost looks like the type it is. Charizard is the final evolution of Charmander, one of the three 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:starter Pokémon from Generation I of the Pokémon franchise. It's obvious from this P🎉okémon's bright orange color and flaming tail that it's a Fire-type Pokémon, righ꧃t?
And based on the rest of its appearance, someone who isn't familiar with this Pokémon would likely assume that it's also a Dragon-type Pokémon, right? It has those big wings, the long claws, and just generally looks like a dragon. But nope! Charizard is a dual-type Fire/Flying Pokémon and is somehow not a Dragon-type.
9 Stunfisk
Stunfisk is a Pokémon that is based on 🍸a type of fish known as the Stargazer. ❀These fish are known for laying in the sea floor, hiding in the sand, and attacking their prey from below. Stunfisk looks exactly like one with its semi-flat body and eyes and mouth that are on the top of its head.
Stunfisk and is typically found buried in the sea shores around the Pokémon wo🌱rld, so it's definitely a Water🅰-type, right? Nope. Despite being a fish, this Pokémon is a dual-type Ground/Electric Pokémon.
8 Sudowoodo
Sudowoodo is a Pokémon that was introduced in Generation II. This Pokémon evolves up from Bonsly and looks just like a tree with two branches for arms. Considering this Pok🌠émon's appearance, there's no way it's anything but a Ground-type or Grass-type Pokémon, right? Maybe it has some Fairy-t🃏ype or Psychic-type in there to account for how unique looking it is?
Wrong. This Pokémon, despite looking just like ജa tree, is a pure Rock-type Pokémon. Its name is kind of a pun. Sudowoodo sounds similar to "psuedo wood" which is fitting since it looks like it should be made of wood and then it isn't.
7 Luxray
Luxray is another Pokémon that looks sort of like its type, but then sort of doesn't. Just looking at this Pokémon's bright yellow patches and spiky fur and tail gives away the fact that it's an Electric-type Pokémon, ﷽right? But then the black fur all over definitely looks like this Pokémon should be a dual-type Dark/Electric Pokémon.
If that blac♋k fur fooled you into thinking this Pokémon is a Dark/Electric dual-type Pokémon, then you're wrong. This Pokémon is purely Electric-type, despite looking just like many of our favorite Dark-type Pokémon.
6 Florges
Florges is a Pokém𝓀on that was introduced in Generation VI. It can come in a variety of di✃fferent colors, depending on the color of flower that Flabébé has or the color of meadow that it's found in.
This Pokémon is one that looks just like a freshly picked wildflower somewhere. Because of that, this Pokémon is definitely one that has to be a Grass-type, right? Sorry but no. This Pokémon may look like a Grass-type Pokémon or maybe a dual-type Grass/Fairy Pokémon,ཧ but it's purely 🍌a Fairy-type.
