Triple Typed Kalos Pokémon | Exploring Pokémon Ideas

This will be a series of videos where I go through each generation to determine which Pokémon deserve a third type. This was an absolutely massive undertaking for me alone and I didn’t want to talk about only a handful of Pokémon or overgeneralise this like I’ve seen from some other prominent figures in the Pokémon community talk about this idea (in a mostly shallow fashion in my opinion and just wasn’t clear with their arguments), and so I went all out with this idea, trying to find as much evidence as I could for each Pokémon. Originally, I had it so that this video idea would all just be one massive video, but after realising that the total amount of time equated to over 2 HOURS of footage, it would have taken me forever and I reluctantly decided to split this up into each consecutive generation for convenience and time management purposes. 

There surely will be some facts I might have missed out, some Pokémon I might not have mentioned, or maybe some disagreements with my perspectives, so I’d be interested in what you all have to say down in the comments; let’s start a discussion.

These are the ground rules I established for myself back in PART 1 about how I'd determine which Pokémon deserve one:
I'd be taking into account:
1) Their design, official artworks and sprites, their etymology or name origin in all available languages, their attributes from their hypothetical origin(s)/Inspiration(s) unless officially stated, trivia facts, evolution methods, their pokedex category & entries both from the games & anime,
appearances from within the anime, appearances in side series games, in-game locations, abilities, egg groups, & moves from their learnset, egg movepool, TMs/TRs, and move tutors
If they check off a couple of them (at least 3) and the evidence is split, only then it will be arguable (fill free to comment down below any that I miss) 
2) Monotype Pokémon will also be included instead of just considering dual typed Pokémon in case that isn’t obvious
3) We’ll be referring to the linear evolution line of a Pokémon as in for example If I were to state “the Gardevoir line”, it means I will be referring to Gardevoir and its pre evolution line and not any alternative form/evolutions which in this case is Gallade unless I explicitly state it. (Comment below if you think there are pre-evolution forms that could have a third typing and not just the final evolution form)
4) Pokémon will only be given the NORMAL typing if there is no other suitable, existing type already, unless again there is strong supportive evidence, e.g., Growlithe not being part NORMAL type despite being based off a dog, because the FIRE Typing is more suitable
5) Similarly, Pokémon will only be given the DARK typing if they inflict any kind of suffering onto others. Attacking/Preying on others for the sake of survival will NOT be included
