Sound types are a versatile typing, often using loud moves and dealing a fair deal of status or physical moves from a distance. Most of their moves include being as loud and scary as possible, and are usually a great supporting pokemon. Most pokemon that are the new sound typing were previously normal types, but since the typing has been found they've strangely become more energetic and more rambunctious. Tapping into once undiscovered music from inside of them. Sound types are known for being loud and announcing their presence to everybody around them- Often to the dismay of the people around them. However this quality makes them useful in drawing attention from would-be-fatal attacks away from weaker pokemon. Sound types also often are distractors, which play in their favor when dealing with the rampant dungeon madness.

• Pokemon has notable sound-related qualities (Exploud for its mouth, Noivern and Audino for its ears)

Light types are a powerful typing in the same vein as Dragon or Fairy, and with the introduction of this new type comes a slew of new moves- as well as pre-existing moves that now carry the type. The Light type is a typing full of hope and goodness, being a direct opposite of darkness and dismay, a strange thing that was borne out of the hopelessness running amuck in Kogranar. Light Types appear restless in the region, and pokemon who previously did not have the typing and now do, find themselves straying far away from dungeons most of the time. They seem to be especially effected by the Dungeon Madness, and seem to ever worry about other pokemon and their injuries. Light Types are naturally drawn to be healers and protectors, a stark contrast to the loud sound type.

Light Types are known to commonly have the following qualities

• Whites, yellows, light blues

• Motifs of the sun, stars, or anything else that could produce light

• Maybe rainbow-like features/motifs

• Bioluminescence

• Soft, bright, cheery demeanor, could possibly take the saying of “ray/ball of sunshine” literally

• Possible subtle angelic references in design

• Can embody justice, heroism and pure of heart/pure good, as Dark type in japanese is referred to as the Evil type.

Type Match-ups

(Light is a ‘holy’ type, and thus it's strong against evil doers and spirits.)

(Subsequently, Light is resisted by another ‘good’ type- Fairy. Fighting types are often ‘heros’ as well.) 

• Light Types deal no damage against: Steel, Ice

• Light Types take super-effective damage from : Dark, Ghost

(Remember, evil and good are just two edges of the same double-sided sword..)
