Video Description

With 9 generations and 18 Pokémon types, the Pokémon series has introduced hundreds of iconic characters—but have you ever wondered which Pokémon type has the MOST specialists? In this video, I break down every Pokémon type and rank them by how many official specialists they’ve had across the entire franchise—including Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, Kahunas, Trial Captains, Champions, Team leaders, and Academy staff. Important note: This list only includes explicit type specialists (Gym Leaders, Elite Four, etc.). Generic trainers like Bird Keepers or Psychic-class trainers are excluded for accuracy.
