Common triple types would be interesting, but I think at most it could just be reserved for a gimmick mode like Inverse Battle.
Dual items would completely break the metagame, and I'm sure there are a number of combinations that would cause invincibility. Just imagine the Megas with items. Dual abilities could work nicely if only given to some Pokémon, as Game Freak has complete control over what Pokémon can (legally) have what ability combinations. |

I have once dreamt of a key item that had the ability to combine two held items into one. When I was thinking of this it was initially for Pikachu because I wanted it to be OP with a Light Ball and an Eviolite. And for abilities, I think an item that switches abilities permanently as a single use item would be good enough. Being able to freely switch, or having two at once, is just crazy.
Unfortunately I can't see triple types happening, as much as I'd like for it to happen that'd just add even more chaos and it'd be too hard to follow. |

I once had the idea for double-typed moves, and it seems that's a little too extreme for the metagame, since only Flying Press has ever been capable of being two-typed. I think that these ideas are very doable, and they could add exponential amounts of diversity to the competitive front, but I can only imagine how confusing it would be for new players that they'd have to figure out how effective a Flamethrower would be on a Water/Grass/Ground type wielding an Occa Berry and a Ring Target. Calculating what does and doesn't factor in would probably make a new player's head spin, and that hurts ground-level accessibility into the series, which I believe is the bottom line here.
tl;dr: Would it be good for the competitive scene? Possibly. Would it be good for new players (or even comprehensible)? NOPE NOPE NOPE |
