Demi-Fiend is Dark/Fighting
Good thing he has Masakados to protect against Light (Fairy), eh?
Many moves of different types use Light in Pokemon. Flash (Normal), Solarbeam (Grass), Flash Cannon (Steel), Doom Desire (Steel), Luster Purge (Psychic), Power Gem (Rock), Dazzling Gleam (Fairy)....I was gonna say wouldn’t psychic be light, but then I realized Psychic is already a thing in SMT
that would be a struggle how to combine with MasakadosMany moves of different types use Light in Pokemon. Flash (Normal), Solarbeam (Grass), Flash Cannon (Steel), Doom Desire (Steel), Luster Purge (Psychic), Power Gem (Rock), Dazzling Gleam (Fairy)....
Yeah but in this context, light would be holy stuff I guess and the closest adjacent would probably be fairy(?)Many moves of different types use Light in Pokemon.

now I’m kinda wondering what Nuclear would be in Pokémon trying to translate it over
you put a lot of thought into this huh?Energy given off by matter in the form of tiny fast-moving particles (alpha particles, beta particles, and neutrons) or pulsating electromagnetic rays or waves (gamma rays) emitted from the nuclei of unstable radioactive atoms. (I'd read the whole page. It's pretty short.)
Radiation can arise from human activities or from natural sources. Most radiation exposure is from natural sources. These include: radioactivity in rocks and soil of the Earth's crust; radon, a radioactive gas given out by many volcanic rocks and uranium ore; and cosmic radiation.
Lots of things can be radioactive. Elements, rocks, gas, & infamously, bananas. But they aren't the only radioactive food.
"Bananas are slightly radioactive because they contain potassium and potassium decays. Potassium is a necessary substance for healthy operation of your body. You would have to eat a LOT of bananas just to compete with the natural potassium dose of your body.
Other 'radioactive' potassium-rich foods include spinach, white beans, apricots, salmon, avocados, mushrooms, and yogurt.
No one ever developed radiation sickness from eating bananas. Yes, bananas are radioactive, but so are you.
Yes, you will certainly die from radiation poisoning if you are able to eat 10,000,000 bananas at once. You may also witness chronic symptoms if you eat 274 bananas a day for seven years."
If I understand right, radioactivity is excess atomic energy, released as positive & negative forces work towards a balance. Unstable radioactive nuclei may emit energy, which is called nuclear radiation. All nuclear radiation is also ionizing radiation, but the reverse isn't always true; X-Rays are a type of ionizing radiation, bu aren't nuclear radiation, because x-rays don't come from atomic nuclei.
Radioactivity does have poison-like effects, because it causes diseases/sickness. AFAIK, it's mostly high-energy radiation damaging or destroying vulnerable, yet important cells. Disassembling or separating ions/atoms, weakening & breaking up DNA, causing death or cancer.
To make a comparison, a building can fall apart in a variety of ways, depending on which bricks you pull out, & where new materials are added. Cancer works similarly, & that's why it's so difficult to cure: It's diverse. Cancer develops when the body's normal control mechanism stops working. Old cells do not die and instead grow out of control, forming new, abnormal cells. These extra cells may form a mass of tissue, called a tumor.
This is why radiation can also be used to TREAT cancer; It isn't the radiation itself that kills you, but the cancer, & cancer is just a bunch of mutated cells that should have been killed by your body already, or are growing in a wrong way. Radiation is energy that, among other things, can disassemble cells, & by harnessing & targeting it, it can take apart problematic cells instead of breaking cells & causing problems.
So in theory, radiation IS like Poison, but the radiation isn't what's harming you; It just so happens this high energy damages/destroys cells/DNA/atoms, causing cells to grow in wrong way instead of being killed by the body. This improper growth caused by what radiation removes or displaces is the actual cancer. & since cancer is the cells growing wrong, which radiation can take apart, radiation can both cure & cause cancer.
So it might be a bit inaccurate to call radiation Poison-type, even if the effects it leads to are similar.
& on a more precise level, it's just excess atomic energy released by atomic particles trying to achieve balance between positive & negative forces.
Thus, radiation might be closer to Electric-type. Not all ionizing radiation (Like X-Rays) is nuclear radiation, but all nuclear radiation IS ionizing radiation.
Ion Deluge (Original Japanese name being the English phrase "Plasma Shower" spelled in phonetic Japanese.) is described as "The user disperses electrically charged particles, which changes Normal-type moves to Electric-type moves."
Similarly, Luxray is an Electric-type Pokemon stated in the Pokedex to use x-rays to keep an eye on its children.
Interestingly, Eevee has, among other Pokedex entries:
"An EEVEE has an unstable genetic makeup that suddenly mutates due to its environment. Radiation from various STONES causes this POKéMON to evolve."
Perhaps these stones cause other Pokemon to evolve when exposed to them for different reasons, but that the stones radiate all, & in a way that can apparently affect genetic code, makes it questionable how dangerous radiation is, especially to some Pokemon.
Or maybe they're of less harmful types of radiation?
There are four major types of radiation: alpha, beta, neutrons, and electromagnetic waves such as gamma rays. They differ in mass, energy and how deeply they penetrate people and objects.
Lastly, if we were to go by source, radiation comes from atomic particles, but even above the atomic scale, it comes from a lot of things.
"Radiation is natural and found everywhere – it comes from outer space, the air we breathe, and the earth we tread. It's even in our bodies; naturally occurring radioactive elements in our bones irradiate us on average 5000 times per second."
AFAIK, general radiation is in minerals, air, dirt, plants, heat, etc. But most nuclear radiation is in rocks, soil, & some minerals/metals/elements.
So it could be Rock or Steel-type!
But Electric-type seems to go closest to the atomic phenomenons associated with nuclear radiation.
Pardon all my words, please.
I did have to do a fair bit of Googling, reading & typing, but it feels like "What type would radiation be in Pokemon?" seems like it would be a fairly common question, so I think it's worth it to do so much.you put a lot of thought into this huh?
i don't no worries hereI did have to do a fair bit of Googling, reading & typing, but it feels like "What type would radiation be in Pokemon?" seems like it would be a fairly common question, so I think it's worth it to do so much.
Hope you don't think less of me for thinking so much about it, lol.

that makes the only thing you can hit Demi-Fiend with is Steel typeAlso gun skill could probably just be categorized as steel right?
I'd assume that, so long as what's being fired is metal, it probably is Steel-type.Also gun skill could probably just be categorized as steel right?
Does he demonstrate Ice-type properties? If so, I'm not sure why he wouldn't. IIRC, his usual shtick is harnessing the power of THE DRAGON OF THE DARKNESS FLAME. He resists Ice, but so do Fire-type Pokemon. Though, his Dragon of Darkness & Flame seems to be an exterior being he harnessed the power of, not something innate to him, even if he kinda makes its power his own later on.Would Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho technical be ice type since he was born to a ice spirit mother?
Can't wait for when Pokemon reveals that Types are actually Type 1 Conceptual properties given to Pokemon lolDoes he demonstrate Ice-type properties? If so, I'm not sure why he wouldn't.

Also, I'm not sure Sword=Steel type.
The Muskedeer Trio/Quartet from Gen 5 (Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizon & Keldeo) all share a Fighting-type, despite being ungulates that use their horns like swords. Scyther uses blades, but isn't Steel-type, & Scizor is Steel because it's made of metal.
Galarian Farfetch'd & Sirfetch'd use their Leeks like swords.
Honedge, Doublade, & Aegislash ARE Steel-types.... But they're also Ghost-types possessing a sword as at least part of their body.
& Secret Sword & Sacred Sword are Fighting-type moves. The former being Keldeo's signature move, & the latter being something the Muskedeers, Honedge's line, Zacian (Pokemon Sword's Fairy-type mascot/box Legendary), & the Ultra Beast, Kartana (A Grass/Steel type tiny paper/plant origami samurai.) can learn.
Though, Zacian (Fairy) & Zamazenta (Fighting) both gain the Steel-typing when in the forms given by the Rusted Sword & Rusted Shield, respectively, & the signature moves of these forms (Behemoth Blade & Behemoth Bash) are both Steel-types.
So maybe the types are just made to accomodate the Pokemon, lol. &/or I'm overthinking it.
