I'd probably throw out or heavily rework most of the Pokemon if I'm honest.
The Conkeldurr line annoys me from both a visual design and game design perspective, so I can single it out I suppose. A fighting type that can be considered on par or better than Machamp (who has always been my sentimental favorite) should never look so durrpy.
And when items figure that prominently in a design, the type should reflect it. A better case could be made for pure Rock Conkeldurr than pure Fighting. Those pillars are literally a crutch, and its Pokedex entries might as well say it's a pure Rock type. It has rock flowing in its veins just as much as you'd expect elemental types to have fire or water in theirs.
But we live in a bizzaro universe where Lucario is Steel type and Scrafty can have such high defenses when he can't even defend his own pants from gravity. I probably shouldn't try to make sense of any of it.
