Give any one Pokemon with one type an additional, different type. For example, you could make Pichu Electric/Dragon. Any and all effects, such as but not limited to weaknesses and STAB, are taken into account.
And now I suddenly realize that for years I've been living under the delusion that Staryu is Water/Psychic. I hate when this kind of thing happens.Staryu as a water/psychic type.
Lol.
Man I always wanted to use Sudowoodo, but even with this typing, I'll just never see it happen.I've wanted to enter this since right off the bat, but my lack of knowledge in the more competitive aspects of Pokemon have generally deterred me from posting anything. I figured I'd give this a shot though:
Rock/Grass Sudowoodo
A typing choice that makes a good deal of aesthetic sense as well as way more practical use of Sudo. One of the big things he has going for him in the first place is his use of the move Wood Hammer, which becomes even more threatening with STAB taken into account. It also neutralizes many of the weaknesses that cripple him - namely Water and Grass-type attacks, as well as Ground - with the slight drawback of also neutralizing his resistances to less prominent types.
Man, closed April 18th.Bug/Ground Pinsir
+ STAB Mold Breaker EQ
+ Neutral to Rock
+ Immune to Electric
+ Resists Poison
- Neutral to Grass
- Weak to Water
- Weak to Ice
o Makes enough sense aesthetically - He's a brown, flightless Stag Beetle. Kinda looks like he rolls in dirt.
Ever since GSC, it's been hard for Pinsir to set itself apart from Heracross. Making Pinsir Bug/Ground is simply an attempt to do so. The positives and negatives of the change are listed in order of how important I feel they are to the design's premise, and I will be talking about them in said order.
I always felt like Mold Breaker EQ was Pinsir's biggest niche over Heracross, so pushing that niche to its fullest potential just makes sense to me. Pinsir is, in a sense, "safer" than Heracross; especially after this change. STAB EQ, with or without Mold Breaker, gives Pinsir a different set of threats in UU that he has the capability to handle, and that's all you really ever need to make someone consider use.
Neutrality to Rock may actually be the most important. It's pretty freaking close. People like to complain about how Pinsir is weak to SR a lot, so being neutral to it is kinda great. The benefits should be pretty obvious.
Electric immunity is just good no matter how you slice it, but what's most important is an immunity to Thunder Wave. Heracross isn't a huge fan of paralysis even with Guts, so this little bit of oomph is kind of awesome.
Poison resistance. Eh...not important at all pretty much.
Weaknesses to Water and Ice aren't too big to be perfectly honest. Most Water and Ice-type moves are Special-based, and Pinsir shreds like paper to Special Attacks to begin with.
Considering the Grass-types that exist in UU, this isn't too big of a deal. They all outpace and typically run another move that would shred Pinsir to pieces anyway.
Like I said before, he looks like he could actually be Ground-type anyway. He's a dirt-colored, flightless stag beetle. Throwing on a Ground typing wouldn't really make people think "what the hell?" They would just look, nod, and accept. And that's all you really need.
So would this change give Pinsir a niche over Heracross? I don't know for certain, but I like to think so. It does little but improve Pinsir in a competitive environment, and it does so in a lot of great ways. And the best part? It does it while retaining aesthetic.

How about giving Slaking Poison Heal and equiping Toxic Orb? (I'm assuming a Pure Power Slaking is along the lines of Wonder Guard Spiritomb)Pure Power Slaking

Pokemon can now use five moves, instead of just four. Propose a moveset to take advantage of five moves.
