11	BUGS
12	Early Bug			Butterfly mon preferable		Bug Pokemon are usually offered to the player from early to mid game as a way to get a fully evolved Pokemon at an early stage. Some rarer/stronger types are found later. Generally they are found in forest or field environments unless they are unusual - such as Joltic being in Chargestone Cave, a version of the Power Plant environment. Earlier bugs tend to be slightly more orthodox than those found later where they can be potentially any combination.
13	Early Bug			Cocoon stage preferable
14	Early Bug	ie. Butterfree, Beautifly/Dustox, Kricketune, Leavanny, Vivillon	May not be needed if 2-stage		Birdwing Butterfly
15	Alt Early Bug			Early bug may be split into two lines depending on evo method
16	Alt Early Bug			Cocoon stage not necessary
17	Alt Early Bug	ie. Beedrill, Ledian + Ariados, Masquerain, Wormadam/Mothim + Vespiquen, Scolipede	May not be needed if 2-stage		Potter Wasp
18	Uncommon Bug
19	Uncommon Bug	ie. Parasect, Forretress, Ninjask/Shedinja, Escavalier/Accelgor		May be 3-stage	Brawlugg
20	Alt Uncommon Bug
21	Alt Uncommon Bug	ie. Venomoth, Yanma, Scizor, Illumise, Yanmega, Galvantula	May not be needed if 1-stage	May be 3-stage	Samurai Bug, Frost Tick
22	Rare Bug	ie. Scyther + Pinsir, Heracross, Volcarona	Rarely 2-stage		Bed Bug, Milligon
23	BIRDS
24	Early Bird			Generally large birds		Like bug types, bird Pokemon are usually offered to the player from an early stage. The main difference is they may be offered up to a later stage as well. Generally the first bird offered to the player is normal/flying, though it doesn't have to be strictly adhered to. Later bird types also cover a number of dual-typings and niches. They can be found in a variety of areas, though normally in field and mountainous areas.
25	Early Bird
26	Early Bird	ie. Pidgeot, Noctowl, Swellow, Staraptor, Unfezant, Talonflame	May not be needed if 2-stage		Boomerang bird (has only one stage currently)
27	Alt Common Bird			Some dexes fill this niche using previous regional birds
28	Alt Common Bird	ie. Fearow, Xatu, Pelipper, Honchkrow, Swanna, Hawlucha			Lyrizon
29	Uncommon Bird
30	Uncommon Bird	ie. Dodrio, Murkrow, Delibird + Gligar, Altaria, Chatot, Braviary + Mandibuzz	May not be needed if 1-stage		Viking Bird
31	Alt Uncommon Bird	ie. Farfetch'd, Skarmory + Mantine, Sigilyph		May end up sharing niche with a dual-flying type, ie. Tropius	Electric Toucan
32	RODENTS
33	Early Rodent			Always two stage		Rodents are offered to the player at an early stage and are designed to be robust "all-rounders". Usually these will be the go-to Pokemon for learning HM moves and save the player's other Pokemon from having to learn them. Rodents can be found all throughout the game, though normally more to annoy the player in fields, forests and caves. More than one type is offered to the player, although they may be more helpful in battle or cute in appearance. Pikaclones are rather straight forward and can appear early to mid game.
34	Early Rodent	ie. Raticate, Furret, Linoone, Bibarel, Watchog, Diggersby
35	Alt Rodent			Sometimes overlaps with other niches
36	Alt Rodent	ie. Sandslash, Azumarill, Lopunny, Cinccino		Some dexes fill this spot using previous regional mons	Razear
37	Pikaclone
38	Pikaclone	ie. Raichu, Azumarill, Plusle/Minum, Pachirisu, Emolga, Dedenne	May not be needed if 1-stage	Does not have to be an electric type
39	FIELD/MOUNTAIN
40	Early Field			Early reliable mon		Pokemon found in the field (or on mountains) can cover a huge variety of types. However, the ones first offered to the player are usually very reliable and may cover a typing that will aid in the first gym or so. Ones offered later may also have this same feature or else simply cover a variety of typings and designs not seen before. These Pokemon can be found throughout the game from early to late. There is no real pattern to them and share all kinds of niches.
41	Early Field			Will likely fill another kind of niche
42	Early Field	ie. Nidos, Primeape + Persian, Ampharos, Mightyena, Luxray, Stoutland, Pyroar	May not be needed if 2-stage	May be strong against the next gym's type	Nitroadent
43	Alt Early Field			Semi-early mon
44	Alt Early Field			Will likely fill another kind of niche
45	Alt Early Field	ie. Arbok + Sandslash, Quagsire, Gastrodon + Floatzel, Liepard, Lucario	May not be needed if 2-stage		Tastorm
46	Uncommon Field			May be strong against the next gym's type
47	Uncommon Field	ie. Arcanine + Ninetails, Ursaring + Donphan, Purugly + Skuntank, Zebstrika, Furfrou			Honey Badger
48	Alt Uncommon Field			May fill another niche
49	Alt Uncommon Field	ie. Rapidash, Tauros, Girafarig, Tropius, Bisharp	May not be needed if 1-stage		Steel Wool Ram
50	Alt Uncommon Field 2	ie. Houndoom, Absol, Bouffalant, Zoroark			Minkloak
51	MISC - FIELD
52	Normal Type			Sometimes found early on		2 or 3-stage Normal types have been a general staple of most Pokemon games, though this seems to have been changed recently due to the inclusion of the fairy type. Most seem to be found in fields as easy to rare offerings. These miscellaneous niches are interesting, but not entirely required. Sometimes they are included more as an oddity or to add flavour to the game. It is recommended that a fairy type be included in PokeAus.
53	Normal Type
54	Normal Type	ie. Wigglytuff, Togetic, Ambipom, Slaking, Lopunny, Cinccino, Blissey, Stoutland	May not be needed if 2-stage		Cubstitute(?)
55	Fairy Type			Florges would have originally fit the Token Normal slot
56	Fairy Type
57	Fairy Type	ie. Clefable, Granbull, Delcatty, Florges, Aromatisse + Slurpuff	May not be needed if 2-stage		Mushrooms, Tooth Fairy
58	Solo Normal Type	ie. Chansey, Ditto, Spinda, Smeargle, Audino		Sometimes fills another niche, ie. Healer	Poppy Nurse, Gold Rat
59	Rock Smash	ie. Shuckle, Nosepass, Crustle, Barbaracle	May have 2-stage	Misc type - may not be needed
60	Route Blocker	ie. Snorlax, Sudowoodo			Steel Wool Sheep(?)
61	Pokeball Encounter	ie. Electrode, Amoongus	May have 2-stage	May not be needed, but could be interesting	Monochrome Chameleon(?)
62	Rival Mons	ie. Zangoose + Seviper, Durant + Heatmor
63	TOKEN TYPES
64	Fighting Type			2 or 3-stage Fighter		Fighting types are a staple of the Pokemon games, though there is not a great variety of them. Fighting types are generally found all throughout the game serving many purposes. Sometimes they are there to provide a challenge to or annoy players in caves. However, fighting types generally give the player a physical powerhouse mon able to take on a number of situations. Fighting types also provide the opportunity for experimentation with dual-typings.
65	Fighting Type			Some regions use Machamp to fill niche
66	Fighting Type	ie. Machamp, Hariyama, Conkeldurr, Pangoro	May not be needed if 2-stage	Usually cave or field/mountain mons	Cassowary
67	Alt Fighting Type			May fill another niche
68	Alt Fighting Type	ie. Primeape, Medicham, Toxicroak, Mienshao, Scrafty, Hawlucha	May not be needed if 1-stage		Star-Nose Mole
69	Extra Fighting Type	ie. Hitmonchamp/lee/top, Throh + Sawk		Not common, likely to due to dual-fighting starters or alt evos
70	Psychic Type			2 or 3-stage Psychic		Like fighting types, psychics do not have a grand variety. They serve to offer as a special powerhouse able to take on a number of opponents. They are not usually played quite as "annoying" like fighting types, but they can prove challenging to capture. Unlike fighting types, they can be found in a number of locations - though they may sometimes be found where fighters are.
71	Psychic Type			Some regions use Alakazam/Gardevoir to fill niche
72	Psychic Type	ie. Alakazam, Gardevoir, Gothitelle + Renuiclus		Usually urban-based near cities thought sometimes mountains
73	Alt Psychic Type
74	Alt Psychic Type	ie. Hypno, Xatu, Grumpig, Musharna, Beheeyem, Meowstic			DNA/Virus(?)
75	Extra Psychic Type	ie. Mr Mime + Jynx, Unown, Chimecho, Sigilyph			Sandman
76	Grass Type			2 or 3-stage Grass		Grass types have always been iconic part of each game. They can be found at a number of times throughout the game, though they are more often found in forests and fields. More rarely they may be found in deserts. Grass types are not always popular for long-term use in games, so it may be worth trying to find a new niche.
77	Grass Type			Usually found in field or forest
78	Grass Type	ie. Vileplume + Victreebel, Jumpluff, Ludicolo + Shiftry, Roserade, Whimsicott + Lilligant, Gogoat	Might not be needed if 2-stage		Koaleaf
79	Alt Grass Type			May fill another niche
80	Alt Grass Type	ie. Exeggutor, Sunflora, Breloom, Cacnea, Cherrim, Amoongus, Trevenant + Gourgeist		Sometimes 2 lines depending on niches	Prickly Pear Mouse
81	Extra Grass Type	ie. Tangela, Roselia, Tropius, Carnivine, Maractus			Dragon Tree
82	FRESHWATER
83	Freshwater			Sometimes found on land		Water Pokemon have always been in abudance in all games. They are almost too well-represented, however. Freshwater Pokemon do overlap a fair bit with Ocean types, particularly when it comes to fishing. Ones found on land are generally created as an early water type to obtain before fishing becomes available to the player. As more recent games have explored though, not every Pokemon found in the water is a water type. Some freshwater types may also show up in caves as well.
84	Freshwater			Preferable 3-stage or alt evos
85	Freshwater	ie. Poliwrath/toed + Slowbro/king, Ludicolo, Gastrodon, Azumarill, Seismitoad	May not be needed if 2-stage		Platypus, Tadpole Frogs
86	Alt Freshwater			Sometimes found on land
87	Alt Freshwater	ie. Golduck, Quagsire, Surskit, Floatzel, Stunfisk	May not be needed if 1-stage	May fill another niche	Water Buffalo
88	Alt Freshwater 2			Sometimes overlaps with ocean
89	Alt Freshwater 2	ie. Seaking, Whiscash, Lumineon, Basculin		Fish Pokemon	Pollution Fish
90	Extra Freshwater			Sometimes found on land or in ocean
91	Extra Freshwater	ie. Kingler, Crawdaunt, Swanna		Misc type - may not be needed	Prawn, Pirate Parrots
92	Extra Freshwater 2			Misc type - may not be needed
93	Extra Freshwater 2	ie. Gyarados, Milotic		May fill another niche	Street Shark
94	OCEAN
95	Common Surfing Mon			Prolific/annoying rate		Some games tend to have more Ocean-based Pokemon than others, so not all spots may need to be filled. Surfing the oceans can prove to be a somewhat frustrating affair though, not unlike exploring a cave (even worse if a cave is along the route, however). Some ocean types can be found on islands or in caves, but not often. And fishing can also bring up a lot of rare surprises from the deep.
96	Common Surfing Mon	ie. Tentacruel, Pelipper, Basculin, Jellicent			Box Jellyfish
97	Uncommon Ocean Mon			Rarer encounter
98	Uncommon Ocean Mon	ie. Mantine, Lapras, Alomomora, Wailord	May not be needed if 1-stage	Sometimes fills another niche	Waelstrom
99	Ocean			Fish Pokemon
100	Ocean	ie. Seadra, Lanturn, Qwilfish, Sharpedo, Dragalge + Clawitzer	May not be needed if 1-stage	Sometimes fills another niche	Swordfish
