list Reborn Characters' Type Specialties (List)

[Oscarus]

After skimming through Reborn lore yet again, I think it would be funny to list all important Trainers by their Type Specialty. 

Any by "important", I mean character who has a significant role, unique look, is met or mentioned at least once, we know that that person is a Pokemon Trainer, and/or is closely connected to other important characters. It should fall into at least three of those categories. 

 

Oh, I should mention four things upfront:

• If the character has several type specialties, it will land into those specific labels. So, if Trainer specializes in both Ice and Poison, their name will be in both Ice and Poison labels 
• If certain Trainer isn't said to have a type specialty, but basing on teams it is seen that they favor certain type (at least half of the Pokemon they use share a type), they will be put into that type's label. 
• I will be counting EVERY known specialty of said Trainers; even if character specialized in certain type, but doesn't now, it will be put there, but with a special annotation (the same works for those, who have different type specialty in the future). 
  • I also will be counting dead but significant characters as well
• I won't be counting Trainers who "aren't native" to Reborn (those who come from different Pokemon games and such, like Rejuvenation)
• I won't take Battle Facilities into account... unless that's the only time we see them battling

Additionally, I will give some "additional" info if something wasn't apparent and clear enough

As if it wasn't obvious, that list will be FULL OF SPOILERS, so don't open those labels up if you haven't finished postgame and/or don't want spoil yourself the game. 

Edit: the "???" symbol points that the character's last name is unknown

Sandy ??? 

Why has Sandy three question marks? Wasn't confirmed in game that she is the ground reserve?

 

Also, where were Fern and Luna second type confirmed? Because i don't remember any dialogue about that. 

 

And speaking of future elite four, i already have in mind to create a post about their secondary type and team.

I remember vaguely that it was said somewhere, but probably not in the game itself.

Spoiler

Makes sense.

I also remember to hear this somewhere like if it was confirmed, but i think these are just suppositions, Fern's one is maybe based on one of his Battle Theme, where he fight on swamp field were he uses Empoleon and Milotic; for Luna i think it's just because Elias train Dragon and Normal, but i think that she would be more inclined to use ghost type.

 Anyway the only one who know for sure the correct answer is Ame.

I notice that Fairy types are pretty popular in-universe, that they are specializing in them in several

Guess Gen 6 really did it's magic with it, huh?

 

Pretty nice and impressive

I believe the future Shelly reborn champions secondary type was fairy. She mentions that Titania had given her a love of "fairy tales" and also she has a xerneas iirc

In that battle she only has two Fairy-type Pokemon. Which, to my system, simply isn't enough. There's an unwritten rule in Pokemon that Trainer with a specific specialization has to have at least 3 Pokemon of said type (plus eventually some that could be that type). Like in all of his initial battles, Lance has 3 Dragon-type Pokemon (and 3 Dragon-like), or Champion Iris and Mustard having 3 Dragon and 3 Fighting type respectively in their first battles against the protagonist. 

That rule is applied to Pokemon Reborn as well, all Trainers with type specialities have at least 3 Pokemon of their type in all *story* battles (so no Umbral Battles nor Nightclub Challenges).
