One of the main gimmicks of the Pokemon franchise is that each Pokemon has its own type or type combination, with some of them being rather common and others more unique. There are also many unused type combinations in Pokemon games, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus made up for one of the seventeen missing ones in the form of Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark, which are the very first Normal and Ghost Pokemon ever created. Because each type and type combination has its own pros and cons, like being super effective against some and weak against others, every Pokemon in the series is the result of a balancing act when it comes to its stats, abilities, and types.
