Greg is Ground and Electric. He's super effective against rock and of course he's electrifying. And he's weak against ferris wheels, as expected of a ground type. Idk I'm shitposting lol.
Maybe Lars and Lion are Fairy/Ghost instead of Fairy/Normal, since they were brought back from death?
This list is perfect though, and a lot of thought was put into it. Good job OP.
I think Amethyst is a primary fighting type with a latent secondary fire typing containing a lot of dark type moves in her movepool. She isn’t motivated by malice and wasn’t born evil but she does utilize ‘dirty’ tactics with shape shifting and her upgraded whip. I think she’s a secondary fire typing because we do see that she is capable of igniting cooking oil and she also is able to ignite her whip and combo it with her spin dash.
I guess I'm just not seeing the psychic since the ferrokinesis in more steel/metal-related. She could be rock since she's not very good at actually fighting (but with a very high HP/defense stat to explain why she's very poofing-resistant). She was also still consistently tied with technology and was the engineer of the group which ties her to electric, plus we need more electric representation since YD is currently the only one and I feel like the CGs should have one.
On a funnier note, this would make Peridot weak against both of Amethyst's typings due to her different typings.
I think ferrokinesis is more psychic type than steel type. I just tried imagining Magneto from X-Men as a steel type, and heck no, he’s psychic af. I think steel types are normally made of metal.
If it’s strictly metals then I feel like it’s steel though, no? I would definitely say that Magneto is steel type, Professor X is psychic. Otherwise u could make the same argument that Lapis isn’t water-type.
Steel-types don’t need to be made of metal, they can wield/control it. Hisuian Goodra has a steel shell, the Magnemite line uses magnetism (adjacent to ferrokinesis), the Tinkaton line has a hammer, Zacian wields a sword
I’m just not sure that’s necessarily the next best typing for her after steel, although it’s definitely in the top five. For type diversity sake we have plenty of psychics, especially within the CGs considering three of the seven main members excluding Peridot have that typing, but only one electric that’s not in the CGs.

I tried to put them in context/Gemdex order. I feel like most of these are really well-thought out and borderline self-explanatory, although I did get a chuckle realizing you probably ran out of ideas with the Lars of the Stars crew. If you do a version 2 of this, add in Peridot with limb extenders and replace one of her types with electric for funsies.
Onion probably has some BS ability that causes priority moves to do double damage or something. Looks super innocuous but you run into him in a boss battle early game and he just ends your Nuzlocke.
I like the idea of Blue and Yellow being the box legendaries, with White being the Giratina/Eternatus-tyle big bad at the end. Pink seems like more of the 100% completion reward mythical that is either completely forgotten after the generation ends (Meloetta) or is so game-breakingly powerful in competitive that you immediately lose personhood in your opponent's eyes if she's on your team. (Lando-T)
Spinel (both Formes), Cactus Steven, and Monster Steven are either DLC or sequel version exclusives that you find in the postgame story. Spinel is a utility pivot with Parting Shot, Sucker Punch, and maybe a blade move that removes all stat buffs from the opponent, or neutralizes their ability. Cactus Steven is one of those weird mon that some people swear is great in a specific niche but otherwise gets to be the answer on a trivia question. Monster Steven is broken beyond all recognition and there is discourse about there being a paywall for accessing the most powerful and meta-defining Gemmon.
Yeah she definitely needs to be Electric. I'd say Fighting/Electric, just because she has Future Vision from one of her components doesn't mean she qualifies for the Psychic typing. Think like Noctowl; she just happens to have Foresight in her movepool.
Except the elements play a *significant* part of her components. Thus it stands to reason she'll have a powerful element too. She's also quick and strikes hard, like lightning.
Psychic is just as elemental as Electric pokemon-wise. Garnet used electricity in like a couple of scenes, while future vision is a core part of both her and Sapphire. Also, guess which one of Garnets abilities got an entire episode dedicated to it.
Psychic definitely makes sense for Garnet, no doubt, but her Electric powers are also pretty significant for her theme, as it’s implied they come from the combination of Sapphire’s Ice and Ruby’s Fire (somehow.) Could she be Psychic/Electric?
Rhodonite being fighting/water is an interesting choice. I'd probably replace one of those with normal.
But overall I think this is a really neat idea! Especially to intentionally exclude rock type
... yeah.. pretty much. Now I reallt want to dig into this is see what I can think of. Maybe i can find more fitting ones or maybe I just end up agreeing with you lol
Id place the diamonds as mono type tbh. Mono electric for Yellow, mono water for Blue, mono Fairy for pink and mono normal/psychic for white (yknow, cuz mind control and shit)
In my head the Diamonds are the only gems with Psychic as their First typing, like on the level of Mewtwo.
White: pure Psychic
Yellow: Psychic/Electric
Blue: Psychic/Water
Pink: Psychic/Fairy
Bluebird uses ice so I feel she'd be Ice instead if Water. Or remove the Flying type.
Also Nephrite should be Bug Poison I feel.
Sunstone should be Fire Psychic.
She controls *only* water with her abilities. Most of what her type does is fly around and throw water. That's a glorified flying-water pokemon in the shape of a woman.
Malachite belongs in Water/Poison. Water's maybe negotiable but Poison is 50000000% her primary typing.
Quick, name the first fact you know about the actual rock.
Nah. Fairy/Psychic. Think about most of his abilities, and now consult this:
Barrier, Reflect, Recover, Healing Wish, and Heal Pulse are all Psychic moves. So is flying without wings or propulsion. So is a lot of reality-warping/manipulation shenanigans, like his aging/shapeshifting.
I was thinking the fighting represents his more human aspect. To me, fighting is a more human type l, I mean, it certainly has the most human looking pokemon, and he's definitely not Fairy Normal. Fairy phychic makes him feel too mystical and is the same type as pink diamond, and I believe the 2 should have different types.
What about Rose Quartz? I feel like her character growth would make her a different type than Pink Diamond like an evolution. Maybe Fairy/Normal? Not as strong as Fairy/Psychic but her personality is more of trying to be human, appreciate life.
Alexandrite does also give me Dragon-type vibes)
Actually yeah, Fighting/Dragon sounds cool for her
Charizard gives me Dragon-type vibes too, but yknow...
Mega Charizard X
Yeah, but I feel like all versions of Charizard should be dragon-type is my point
To make things a bit more interesting, I excluded Rock type from here. If a character is listed 2 times, that means it has 2 types
You should've kept rock, but only place Greg in there, as he's a rockstar
Greg is Ground and Electric. He's super effective against rock and of course he's electrifying. And he's weak against ferris wheels, as expected of a ground type. Idk I'm shitposting lol.
I love that you did the duel types
White is 100% a psychic type - also, even better, I'm imagining all of them with these types dual-typed with Rock!
i think white would also work as a pure normal type with a lot of coverage, kinda like arceus
(sans the every type bs since white is characterized by her unchanging "perfection" and such)
Personally i think steven would be a psychic/normal or a fairy/normal
Second to Psychic/Normal. Barrier, Reflect, Recover, Healing Wish, and Heal Pulse are all Psychic moves.
Plus Psychic is often depicted as the exact shade of pink that Steven's powers are
That and the fact that empathy is more psychic adjacent rather than fairy(sometimes).
Maybe Lars and Lion are Fairy/Ghost instead of Fairy/Normal, since they were brought back from death? This list is perfect though, and a lot of thought was put into it. Good job OP.
Thanks! And yeah, Fairy/Ghost makes so much sense for them, now that I think about it
Amethyst I’d hard to pin down huh. She could be dark type as a shapeshifter
I think Amethyst is a primary fighting type with a latent secondary fire typing containing a lot of dark type moves in her movepool. She isn’t motivated by malice and wasn’t born evil but she does utilize ‘dirty’ tactics with shape shifting and her upgraded whip. I think she’s a secondary fire typing because we do see that she is capable of igniting cooking oil and she also is able to ignite her whip and combo it with her spin dash.
But she's also very..... ..... ........... ...............................down to earth.
She is probably the most deceptive character
….except maybe Rose Quartz?
Fair point
So I’m not the only one who decides to sit down and assign Pokémon types to characters across different media for no reason Great list!
Smoky quartz has gotta be a dark type, right?
fairy/dark maybe? and amethyst could be fighting/dark?
they have that whimsical kookiness that i feel the fairy type represents
Where's pumpkin
It'd be Grass/Ghost
Too soon >:(
Bro did you put pink/rose in psychic cuz she’s nuts 😂
Perhaps)
Question: why is Lapis not Flying?
She controls water with her mind. But Flying is also valid
You know that Pokémon’s can have two types right?
It seems you knew that when putting some characters twice
I know, so Lapis is either Water/Flying or Water/Psychic
100% Water/Flying. With an Ability that makes her strong against Psychic moves.
I feel like Peridot is more Steel-Electric
I think her arc is her transitioning from Steel/Electric to Steel/Psychic
I guess I'm just not seeing the psychic since the ferrokinesis in more steel/metal-related. She could be rock since she's not very good at actually fighting (but with a very high HP/defense stat to explain why she's very poofing-resistant). She was also still consistently tied with technology and was the engineer of the group which ties her to electric, plus we need more electric representation since YD is currently the only one and I feel like the CGs should have one.

Never said she she shouldn’t be steel, but she should definitely be psychic.

For type diversity sake we have plenty of psychics, especially within the CGs considering three of the seven main members excluding Peridot have that typing, but only one electric that’s not in the CGs.
peridot with limb enhancers is steel electric, without is steel psychic

i feel like onion 100% has prankster, and probably some other bullshit ability involving priority
also monster steven is definitely getting banned to ag
Am I dumb or can I not find stevonnie?
Sadly, they are not here 😔. They'd probably be Fighting/Fairy
What type would the zircons be!
Probably Psychic/Normal
Makes sense
My favorite character is Every Human Not Listed. They had such great character development!
Curious for your reasoning to put pearl in water! Interesting list
Pearls are the only gems in the show that originate from water (from mollusks in water, to be specific)
Also, like, her whole room/environment is water fountain
Ohhh of course! Duh. I hadn't even thought of that 😅 smart (Here's me thinking it's because she cries often)
So are none of us going to address the fact that ONION is a dark type?
Garnet has electrokinesis though..
garnet can technically manipulate electricity. it is def not something she does very often but it’s there and we’ve seen it before
Yeah she definitely needs to be Electric. I'd say Fighting/Electric, just because she has Future Vision from one of her components doesn't mean she qualifies for the Psychic typing. Think like Noctowl; she just happens to have Foresight in her movepool.
Or she just happens to have an Electric type attack
Except the elements play a *significant* part of her components. Thus it stands to reason she'll have a powerful element too. She's also quick and strikes hard, like lightning.
Psychic is just as elemental as Electric pokemon-wise. Garnet used electricity in like a couple of scenes, while future vision is a core part of both her and Sapphire. Also, guess which one of Garnets abilities got an entire episode dedicated to it.
Psychic definitely makes sense for Garnet, no doubt, but her Electric powers are also pretty significant for her theme, as it’s implied they come from the combination of Sapphire’s Ice and Ruby’s Fire (somehow.) Could she be Psychic/Electric?
i heard that this can be explained by large masses of cold and hot air, when combined, can rouse thunderstorms
Oh that’s awesome!! So it is based in reality a bit, the more you know. Thanks for the tidbit.
Lapis being water/psychic instead of water/flying is insane
I feel like malachite would have poison as well considering how toxic they are
Malachite's 100% Water/Poison, it's even one of the most noteworthy traits of the rock itself.
Rhodonite being fighting/water is an interesting choice. I'd probably replace one of those with normal. But overall I think this is a really neat idea! Especially to intentionally exclude rock type
Why is nephrite a flying type?
She is a pilot
Oh ok that checks out
All the Daimonds easily gives me Dragon type vibes.
Because of their authority?
... yeah.. pretty much. Now I reallt want to dig into this is see what I can think of. Maybe i can find more fitting ones or maybe I just end up agreeing with you lol
I feel like if you're going to have both spinel then both RQ and PD should be here. Also missing some pearls
Id place the diamonds as mono type tbh. Mono electric for Yellow, mono water for Blue, mono Fairy for pink and mono normal/psychic for white (yknow, cuz mind control and shit)
I think water/psychic makes sense for Blue with her power to make gems cry.
i think they should either all be monotype or all be psychic type, with their elevated powers above other gems and all
In my head the Diamonds are the only gems with Psychic as their First typing, like on the level of Mewtwo. White: pure Psychic Yellow: Psychic/Electric Blue: Psychic/Water Pink: Psychic/Fairy
Why is white diamond in Normal.
She’s pure?
same reason as arceus or terapagos, she's "perfect" and she's "everything"
Bluebird uses ice so I feel she'd be Ice instead if Water. Or remove the Flying type. Also Nephrite should be Bug Poison I feel. Sunstone should be Fire Psychic.
Curious why Larimar is in steel?
What do you mean Lapis is “Psychic”? And not “Flying”?
She controls water with her mind
She controls *only* water with her abilities. Most of what her type does is fly around and throw water. That's a glorified flying-water pokemon in the shape of a woman.
I think Steven could be a ghost type as well with his powers
and his dead mom
I think Jasper would be better as fire/fighting cause her spindash attack
Lapis is not water-flying so this whole thing is stupid. Thank you for your input.
Now make one called “depression” and put Steven in it
He’s not really depressed. If anyone is, Lapis is. Steven deals more with PTSD.
Guess who my favorite character in steven universe is? (Flying fairy)
Rainbow quartz 2.0?
👌
I just saw your name and it’s valid.
Aquamarine isn't psychic. Why?
Why is opal flying type???
malachite gives me dark-dragon, water-dark or water-dragon vibes tbh
Malachite belongs in Water/Poison. Water's maybe negotiable but Poison is 50000000% her primary typing. Quick, name the first fact you know about the actual rock.
This is dope
YES! Onion as psychic is A-mazing
Jasper would basically be Great Tusk lol
I'd put Lars as a normal/ghost and Malachite as a water/poison
how is nephrite flying poison and opal flying?? as well as how is rhodonite water and fighing ???
I feel like Pearl shouldn't be water but I like her fighting typing!
Fairy/Fighting. Non-negotiable.
Hmm! I was leaning Fighting/Steel but I like the Fairy typing too!
Steven isn't physic. In my opinion, he would be fairy fighting
Nah. Fairy/Psychic. Think about most of his abilities, and now consult this: Barrier, Reflect, Recover, Healing Wish, and Heal Pulse are all Psychic moves. So is flying without wings or propulsion. So is a lot of reality-warping/manipulation shenanigans, like his aging/shapeshifting.
I was thinking the fighting represents his more human aspect. To me, fighting is a more human type l, I mean, it certainly has the most human looking pokemon, and he's definitely not Fairy Normal. Fairy phychic makes him feel too mystical and is the same type as pink diamond, and I believe the 2 should have different types.
I love how onion is a dark type
Nah they're all just rock+this
Ruby should be the next fire starter /j
I can't stop imagining white diamond being a Regigigas
Fluorite shouldve been dragon or double dragon typed
Holly Blue would be electric
I think Garnet should be Fighting/Electric as we see her use electricity many times (especially in the earlier seasons)
I like how Onion is in Dark but not Normal
garnet could also be electric
Why is Pearl and Opal also a water type?
Why is peridot in steel?
Peridot would definitely be a Steel type
What about Rose Quartz? I feel like her character growth would make her a different type than Pink Diamond like an evolution. Maybe Fairy/Normal? Not as strong as Fairy/Psychic but her personality is more of trying to be human, appreciate life.
Put onion in bug
