::Well, I don't know. It's far from a "unique" situation, as it shares that distinction with many other Pokémon. That may be enough to warrant the creation of a category page. The other Pokémon who "lost" a type during evolution are, to the best of my knowledge: {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, {{p|Sylveon}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Steelix}}, {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Masquerain}}, {{p|Ninjask}}, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Drapion}}, {{p|Dragalge}}, and of course {{p|Gallade}} itself. That would bring the total to eighteen Pokémon whose pre-evolutions "lost" a type when they evolved. I'm not counting Mega Evolutions as they're temporary. So it's more than "very few things", since categories of around that number of entries or less do exist, but it may also be better applied to the pre-evolutions themselves, as they are the one who "lose" the types. — [[User:Kianglo|<span style="color:#6900CC"><b>KiAN</b></span><span style="color:#000000"><b>GLO</b></span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Kianglo|<span style="color:#6900cc"><u>TA</u></span><span style="color:#000000"><u>LK</u></span>]]</sup> 09:23, 11 June 2016 (UTC) | ::Well, I don't know.

:::In that case...honestly, my own reaction is mostly, "So?". (If others want to express their own opinion, that's fine; that's just mine.)

::::It's definitely ambiguously necessary, but I'm pleased to see how many examples actually exist - I forgot to count eeveelutions entirely - and I certainly didn't mean to say it should be a category ''because'' few Pokémon, even one, are in that weird situation, I really meant the seeming rarity of it intrigued me, and I wanted to see if there were other examples before pressing the creation of a category. Still... there's only 18 of them, so I'll leave it to others to decide if it's warranted. We may even get new additions to this "category" (patent pending) when Sun and Moon come out! At the very least, the category name could most likely be worded better than my initial attempt, and actually applying the category to the pre-evolutions might not be a bad idea... Raises a question in Gallade's case to be fair, as that's a branched evolution, but. Yeah.
