The names, the concept, the typings and most definitely the designs are exquisitely satisfying. Fine work!

What would happen if it’s hit by a move both types are neutral to? Is it randomised or does it wait for a move that’s super effective/resisted by one of the types before switching?

oh, that’s so clever and hilarious!

That ability is such a fun idea

Too similar to Mimikyu

Is the type completely random upon hit, or does it follow some logic?

Would be cool if it had a split evolution if “the box was opened” or some evo condition while poisoned or not.

I absolutely adore the concept of using Schrödinger’s Cat for a Pokémon! And the idea of the typing being a head’s or tail’s until in battle is awesome, and adds some fun to a catching hunt like with trying to find a Pokémon with a certain ability, like a Meowth with pick up! Does the typing solidify after battle or is it every other turn it bounces back and forth between the two so you don’t know what you’re gonna get? Either way, I’m adoring Limbox and Parabox! Definitely would risk my hand just to pet Limbox! Also the bone end on Limbox’s tail is a nice touch.

So is it’s ability for it to be ghost or normal depending on what’s better in that moment?
Would that mean if it uses a normal move, and gets hit by a fighting move, it gets stab on the move and is immune to the fighting move?

This is so cool! I wish this was a real Pokémon.

Really cool idea! I think the ability would probably work a bit similar to Legend Plate Arceus in plza, which had it change mono types to whichever most resisted the incoming hit right before damage. But only once per battle (or switch in) for this pokemon
So in this case, it becomes a normal type if the enemy tries to use a ghost or dark type move for the first instance of damage, and is then stuck as that type till fainting, switch out, or battle end. And if the enemy tried to use a fighting move or anything else that ghost type would better resist for that first instance of damage, it instead becomes a ghost type until fainting, switch out, or battle end.
Though, the question of neutralizing gas disabling abilities does come up. Would it be a pure normal, ghost or normal/ghost type without the ability, or would the ability not be able to be supressed like other form change abilities?

The idea of using soak to overwrite the typing uncertainty is funny to me

Really amazing concept! I really want this in the game now holy shit

This is a fun concept and a really interesting take on the Schrodinger’s Cat concept. I have some thoughts:
– How would its type situation be effected by type-changing moves? Would Trick or Treat force a wavefunction collapse into Ghost Type? Or would it be potentially Normal/Ghost and pure Ghost under its effects?
– Could its type be locked in by a held item? E.G. a Spell Tag or Pink Bow? If so that could maybe lead to some fun play around locking in a type, then later using Fling or Magic Room to restore the “quantum typing” as needed.
– I’m also curious how moves that care about the user or target’s type would be handled. Like does Curse randomly pick between the HP cut or the stat modifiers?

Oh this is by far my favorite Schrödinger’s cat design I’ve seen so far

How would STAB work? Do both types get STAB until revealed or does neither get STAB. Random STAB assignment?
