I have an idea, a Dragon typed fruit that tastes delicious to most Pokemon, but only Fairy types can safely eat more than one or two at a time because the dragon typing is the plant's defense mechanism against most Pokemon just ruining the seeds. Once the typing kicks in eating any more fruit will cause the dragon typings to cross react making the hapless Pokemon violently ill.
I also have a goofy idea for a Steel typed coconut, that is nicknamed the "Cannonball Coconut," that due to a, sadly apocryphal, legend was used by marooned pirates as ammunition to shoot something they could actually eat without needing high explosives or a modern machine shop to drill into.
Edit: I just thought of something, ANY Pokemon could be a legendary in waiting, it just requires the extreme willpower to keep banging your head against the wall until not just the wall breaks but physics does as well. Hmm, I wonder if that's why so many Legendaries are so... eccentric? I mean nobody normal would consider taking gardening tips from Doc Brown and expand upon them....
I was going for a Dragon typed fruit actually, after all only Dragon types and Ghost types are weak to themselves. Basically it gives them a minor overdose in typed energy, which Fairies are completely immune to anyways so it doesn't stick to them, barring said Fairy outright gorging themselves...

-E.I.G. said:
-Sounds like an interesting idea for a fairly rare one.
-A Fairy typed, and thus bad for Dragon types, fruit that turns anyone without the Fairy type into a Dragon type.
-Any ideas about what exactly it does to pokemon to make them into Dragons?
I was going for a Dragon typed fruit actually, after all only Dragon types and Ghost types are weak to themselves. Basically it gives them a minor overdose in typed energy, which Fairies are completely immune to anyways so it doesn't stick to them, barring said Fairy outright gorging themselves on the fruit, I suppose.
-E.I.G. said:
-A nice kind of non-transformative fruit from the sounds of it, although something that if you do get through the shell to make you Steel typed enough to eat more sounds like it could be fun.
I figure it could easily lead to a permanent steel typing if you eat more than one full coconut in a given sitting, due to how extremely dense the steel typed energy would be in order to be so tough. The real trick is getting it open without ruining most of the meat due to said durability. Oddly enough the juice doesn't have much energy in it so it's perfectly safe to drink.
For a ghost type I could imagine some kind of cursed mirror, considering the whole other world thing associated with them, that and Giratina's direct association with using mirrors to cross the barrier of the Reverse World in the movies. Of course there's also the old joke about ghost type...

I don't remember any Fighting type transformation, so let's try to create one.
Bamboo might be a good starting point. A lot of martial art use bamboo in their training.
Bamboo Shoots that give the fighting type, with a tendency toward giving plant or steel as secondary. Often give claws or horns that allow the use of Sword-like moves, like Sacred Sword.
So we could consider Alexa and her team to be One Legendary Pokemon collectivelly. A little like Zygarde if you squint, one legendary made of multiple elements. Glad you like it. Still, need a name, Sharp Bamboo? Here's another one. Frozen Pinecone. It would give the Ice type obviously. Perhaps...

Glad you like it. Still, need a name, Sharp Bamboo?
Here's another one.
Frozen Pinecone. It would give the Ice type obviously. Perhaps instead of transforming the body, it would cover it with a layer of ice.
So in addition to changing type, you'll lose a lot in speed but gain a lot in defense.

There are plants that have massive boosts to growth or seed production after being burned in a wildfire. So a forest bush/vine that when burned, the smoke gives pokemon the grass type.
Deathworld route would be so that grass pokemon burn easier in the fire so their dead bodies would give nutrients to the new plants.
Good Pokemon route would be so the temp grass types would constantly shed seeds as they walk around.
For max pun, it's called Smoke Weed.

Another idea, the irl mushroom that inspired parasect infects ants, grows in the brain killing the ant, then puppets the zombie ants body to a high place to spread its fungi spores.
I'm sure some culture would have parasect mushrooms as a traditional food. So you could have someone try to grow the mushrooms without needing a parasect.
Turns out that when not grown in a pokemon the mushroom has odd effects. I cant decide if it gives Bug or Ghost type. Bug for the in world parasect connection, Ghost for the irl connection.
Edit: my ideas are super dark today.

Hm, it seems like you'd have to be really careful with type-removing stuff, given that single-type pokemon exist? Unless it just turns them human, I guess, which would be a kindof amusing bit of symmetry... As for type-changing plants, I posit the fel-creeper: a rare parasitic* vine that lives...
forums.sufficientvelocity.com
As for type-changing plants, I posit the fel-creeper: a rare parasitic* vine that lives in the deep jungle, in places where light never gets to the forest floor. Its amazingly-sweet fruits grant the Dark type to pokemon eating them... which grants them a weakness to the bug-type pokemon that tend to pollinate the vines.
* Parasitic, in this context, meaning 'sinks its roots into trees', rather than the creepier example of pokemon like Paras. Though, well, plant-type pokemon are also a thing, so I suppose you could also plant the vine in a plant pokemon to apply a longer-lasting secondary Dark type, along the lines of the Frozen Flame... (Edit: ...But it would probably die pretty quickly if you took it out into direct sunlight, so that's maybe not so useful.)

A punch that makes the drinker a fighting type on their secondary and lets them punch better!
And to make a third fruit... How about a Ground Apple? Found when a tree was uprooted in an area with a very strong ground-type element, and turned out that the apple tree that wasn't bearing fruit on the top was bearing it on the bottom! Tastes like potatoes, eaten and cultivated by Digglet. (Overrides primary type)
Or an ice-mint! Literally mint that, if eaten, gives the ice type for a day (overrides primary type).

Black sand formed from crushed volcanic rock created by a Heatran, it will replace a Fire type's secondary type with Rock after taking a thorough sand bath. The skin will be greatly toughened, with numerous rock-like osteoderms, as well as taking a darker coloration. Density greatly increases, and some of the osteoderms 'weep' molten glass.

Urshifu Headband
The discarded headband of an Urshifu, the strong Fighting type energy has soaked into the fabric over the years of wear. After tying the headband around their head, the wearer will be able to tap into the Urshifu's accumulated kinesthetic genius: their muscle memory, in other words. The wearer will have their primary typing switched to a secondary typing, and have it replace with a new primary Fighting type. The joints of the wearer will also loosen, allowing for a wider and smoother range of motion. To obtain any effect from wearing the headband, the Pokemon must be organic and have a vaguely humanoid body type: a set of clearly defined legs, clearly defined arms, and a head. [EX:Ledian would gain the benefits, as it has but Ledian or Centiskorch would not, as their is no distinction between their legs and arms. Golurk has the correct body type, but is inorganic, so it would gain no benefits.] Pure and primary Fighting types who wear the headband only gain the benefits of muscle memory, secondary Fighting types have their primary and secondary type switched, but otherwise again only benefit from the muscle memory.
When worn by humans, physical strength and flexibility are greatly increased. Gaining of Fighing type is inconsistent, thus far. Some become Fighting type, some don't. There is anecdotal evidence that martial artists/boxers/people with a high degree of physical fitness seem to gain the type more easily, but sample sizes are too small to state for certain. The extent to which the wearer gains access to the Urshifu's muscle memory varies, with wearer who don't gain the Fighting type barely gaining the benefit, with wearers that have above average Fighting type energy being able to do full katas and moves. Elite Four member Bruno was even able to utilize Wicked Blow. There have been no recorded changes into a Pokemon while wearing an Urshifu Headband...yet?
When thinking up the Urshifu Band, I kept going back and forth between it having a permanent physical effect when taken off, like it constantly was improving your baseline physique, but I just couldn't get it to sound exactly right. THe best one I had was it was increasing the number of muscle...

When thinking up the Urshifu Band, I kept going back and forth between it having a permanent physical effect when taken off, like it constantly was improving your baseline physique, but I just couldn't get it to sound exactly right. THe best one I had was it was increasing the number of muscle fibres(myofibrillar hypertrophy) while also slightly decreasing the size of the muscle fibres, so in effect muscle density greatly increased while muscle size only changed a little.....but it just seemed more of the same kind of invisible changes.
Does make me think if the main difference in between Fighting type and other Pokemon is something with their muscles. Different types of muscle fiber, so comparing a non-Fighting type to a Fighting type is like comparing a humans and chimps.

Had another idea for a transformation item! I'm on a roll today!
Calyrex Grape Leaves
These leaves come from grape vines in Calyrex's personal vineyard. When held in the mouth, a Pokemon will gain a secondary Grass typing or replacing its existing secondary typing with Grass. The Pokemon will grow vines out of their body, forming a thick protective layer of woody vines with thinner vines forming decorative knotwork patterns on top, as well as a laurel wreath like crest on the head. The transformed Pokemon will gain an instinctive knowledge of how to use Vine Whip and Power Whip, as well as Bind and Constrict. This transformation lasts for as long as the Pokemon can hold the Leaf in its mouth, without breaking it, swallowing it, or spitting it out. Eventually, the leaf will dissolve, but the strong Grass type energy of Calyrex means that process will take longer than you think. Particularly determined individuals can maintain the transformation for weeks. When the transformation ends, the vines wither away, leaving the Pokemon unharmed.
Attempted reuse of the Leaf is both unsanitary and ineffective.
My main idea here was a combo of the difficult part of the Animagus transformation from Harry Potter and basically a wooden version of how Rachel from Worm powers up her dogs. But less gruesome to undo.

-I like the idea of this seemingly permanent Psychic type change. It is something that technically does what Alexa's group wanted with a Psychic typechange, but sounds permanent which they were deliberately avoiding.
To be honest, I just forgot to think about duration or reversion requirements. But it being permanent does make some sense… I didn't go into any real detail on the post, it was a bit more stream-of-consciousness than planned, but my idea was that the tear triggering the transformation wasn't consistent, the exact catalyst for the transformation is uncertain. The same Pokémon can use the tear off and on for days for the empathic traits and not transform, only to pick it up one day and transform within minutes. Or another Pokémon might touch one for the first time and transform within the hour.
(My idea is that while the catalyst is not known to anyone researching it, the actual requirement for the transformation is matching the emotions that Jirachi felt when the tear was created. The same mix of anger, fear and pain; or joy and excitement depending on the tear.)

Artificial Clay
This substance (which resembles non-drying modelling clay) was made by powdering and wetting the matrix rock or sediment surrounding evolution stones, in an attempt to artificially replicate the process that gives rise to Mundane Clay. The makers underestimated how metaphysically sensitive the process is, and infused their product not with mundanity but with artificiality.
The effect of rubbing Artificial Clay on a pokémon is highly inconsistent. It generally has no effect on pokémon known or suspected to have an artificial origin, such as Porygon, Castform, or Golett. Among pokémon Artificial Clay does affect, it usually changes their type to Normal and changes their form to resemble a plasticine model of themselves, but leaves both mutable. The details of that mutability are themselves variable: some pokémon become capable of at-will shapeshifting and typechanging like Porygon; some become sensitive to environmental stimuli like Castform; others change in still other ways.
The one consistent thing about Artificial Clay transformations is that they very conveniently last until the pokémon decides they don't want it, at which point they end immediately.

Inspired by Oricorio (and its signature Ability Dancer) and Porygon, I've come up with a couple Dance moves that are further variations on the theme of Conversion/Reflect Type.
Mimicry Dance: The user dances to evoke the primary type of the target, thus changing their own primary type to match. If the user has a secondary type, this move normally leaves it unchanged; if it's the same as the target's primary type, however, it becomes what the user's primary had been. Because it has a similar thematic logic to Mirror Move (the original Japanese name of which translates to "Parrot Mimicry"), Mimicry Dance shares the property of being unexpectedly Flying-type.
Peruperu: The user dances with such aggression that they become a type that would be super effective against the target; the target flinches.

Fairy gossamer- a pinkish fabric, contact with a pokemon will cause them to gain the fairy type and have fairy gossomer sprout from their body, usually in the form of clothing or hair. The fairy gossamer can be controlled with practice, and similar to the Contagions the transformation lasts as long as gossamer is attached, meaning it must be shaved off to revert forms. Figured since the only two themes really present in Fairy types are "pink" and "cloth that's part of the body/animate hair" I would just combine the two.
Spectral Memento- objects that have absorbed enough ghost typed energy to become ghost pokemon but failed at actually animating into one, spectral mementos can be used to grant a ghost type, while also transforming the user into an animate mass of whatever the spectral memento is an object of. For instance, if Charizard used a fork, he'd become a Charizard shaped being of metal, with fork tines for teeth, claws, and wings.
Regi moss- A type of moss originally found growing on Regigas, consumption removes the user's secondary type and turns them into an animate mass of their primary type.
Reins of unity- If this works on people besides Calyrex, it would fit, linking the mount and rider's energy so closely they're more like a two-headed pokemon than separate pokemon, creating a single pokemon with the primary type of the rider's primary type and a secondary type of the mounts primary type. It didn't transform Calyrex and their mount, but that could be handwaved by saying that due to Calyrex's severe weakening all of the energy went to alleviating the metaphysical equivalent of starvation, with none left over to cause transformation. That this lets you have Mephagic Alexa and Charizard combine into a poison/fire type or some similar event is also a neat bonus.
Magic powder- this move already seems to fit a type-changing substance really well, and like chitin powder you could say it takes a while to settle in order to have a more lengthy duration than just a battle. Alternatively, you could say the more potent form can only be found near large groups of Hatterene/Gigantamax Hatterene
Edit:
Fallen Star- Wishing Stars and other Eternmax fragments drained of power, these have only been recently created due to Macro Cosmos's use of Galat particles. Similar to the frozen flame, this is embedded in a pokemon and grants either the dragon or poison type. Poison type causes the pokemon to emit glowing energy from their mouths and eyes and develop glowing spots on their body, while dragon type turns them into a black substance similar to Eternatus with glowing joints. In both cases the glow corresponds to their other type, and for pokemon who become dragon/poison they match Eternatus even more, transforming into to a dark, draconic skeleton with flesh made of red energy. In all cases they gain similar traits to Eternatus, losing the ability to generate typed energy when low on it, but gaining the ability to absorb energy of their types and increased capacity of typed energy as well as generating large amounts of energy when near full.
They can also absorb Galar Particles, although lose the ability to dynamax as all Galar Particles absorbed are fed into the Fallen Star. Absorbing enough Galar Particles will result in it turning back into a wishing star and falling off the pokemon as their transformation reverts. Research has shown that pokemon transformed by Fallen Stars can absorb enough Galar Particles to forcibly revert Dynamax Pokemon and temporarily prevent Dynamaxing in their vicinity, which has caused the government of Galar to start stockpiling them in case of another Darkest Day.
Use on Pokemon who are Fairy/Steel or originally Dragon/Poison is not recommended.
Nah. It’s more that, much like a Grass-type who learned to manipulate time became a Celebi, there’s a good chance a Fairy/Steel type who learns how to be extra effective against dynamax pokemon or a Dragon/Poison who learns how to generate and absorb Galar Particles will turn into a...

-As is often the case, the emphasis on "not recommended" reminded me of the Errantry Concordance entry for eversion. To evert is to turn inside-out. This makes me imagine that there's something that turns a being's energy structure inside-out, for some value of the term. Possibly it would make a Pokémon's typed energy tightly constrained (effectively human), and loosen a human's typed energy to the point of expression.
Nah.
It's more that, much like a Grass-type who learned to manipulate time became a Celebi, there's a good chance a Fairy/Steel type who learns how to be extra effective against dynamax pokemon or a Dragon/Poison who learns how to generate and absorb Galar Particles will turn into a Zacian/Zamazenta or Eternatus, respectively.
And while few people would have a problem with more Zacian/Zamazenta, no one wants a second Eternatus so they try to avoid any situation that might result in one.

Modular Widget- a body part belonging to one of the steel-type lines that evolve by fusing with each other such as the Beldum, Magnemite, and Klink lines. The transformation items are created by several cultures of their respective species that use their mechanical nature to undergo ritualistic transplants using the body parts of their ancestors. After undergoing repeated transplants, body parts will become sufficiently infused with Steel type energy and mystically aligned with fusing with somebody to act as a type-changing item for other species.
Contact with the item almost always causes the transformee to gain a steel type and a robotic form similar to the donor Pokémon line, with the item visibly integrated with the Pokémon's body. Removal of the item causes reversion, similar to the Frozen Flame. If one of the Pokémon's types matches the donor lines' non-Steel type, that type will be preserved in almost all known cases.
For an unknown reason, certain species of Pokémon instead transform into a consistent form regardless of the line the item originated from, and frequently gain a type instead of Steel despite their robotic appearance.

Sturdy paste
This paste was intended to be a way of greatly increasing a pokemon's defenses, as an alternative to X-defense. While it did increase test Pokémon's defenses, it did so by physically changing their forms to be better suited towards defense. While the Pokémons types didn't change, it still was considered to be a too extreme of an effect for the intended product to be viable, and never made it to the production stage.
The change reverse itself after about 4 hours.

Idea for a transformative item: the entire team on the same type of Contagion (Mercury, Toxic or Magma) then have blood-equivalents drawn from them and mix them in the same manner used for creating that healing sap.
Idea is that this creates a more 'potent' version of the contagion that, instead of simply changing their primary type, the new 'processed' contagion actually changes a pokemon into a monotype (Similar to the Terastal phenomenon for the upcoming pokemon game). Via this method, the Mercury, Toxic and Magma contagions become "[x] Type Converter Fluid" (I.E. Steel Converter Fluid, Poison Converter Fluid). These have extremely 'fucky' effects if the Converter Fluid matches the pokemon's 'Hidden Power' type.
Additionally, the Converter Fluids can be used to make Chlorophyll Jade equivalents when used to treat a depleted elemental stone. However, the effect is much weaker as the proper way to treat the stones haven't been discovered yet. Instead, the Chlorophyll Jade method is applied to the depleted Elemental Stones. In this case, the 'Converter Fluid Treated Stones" or CFTS merely changes the type of the Pokemon's 'Hidden Power' move rather than causing any outward changes.

Well, here's one idea then.
'Reverse Prisms'
Found either (rarely) in the reverse world or in places where portals and other openings to the reverse world have been frequently opened over long periods of time (IE, even more rarely), these crystal like items can cause an interesting reaction in those exposed to them while they are refracting light from both the normal world and the reverse world at the same time. To be precise, if a pokemon has a primary type and a secondary type, those types will reverse so that their secondary type becomes their primary type and their primary type becomes their secondary type until the next dawn or nightfall.
This is (very loosely) inspired by a sword a character I played in a game long ago had, which could reveal ghosts and other undead because it was forged from underworld crystals and so light refracted through it would count as underworld light, which made me think about magic crystals and then I just decided to take the name of a 'Reverse Prism' literally and have it... well, reverse a pokemon's types. And the 'until dawn breaks or nightfall sets' just seemed an appropriately fairytail/magical ending clause. Feel free to change it if you don't like it.

'Zenith Berry'
A plant associated with the rare legendary pokemon known as Marshadow, Zenith Berries can be found where Marshadows have repeatedly entered the special form change known as 'Zenith Mode', and are said to have resulted from a portion of their fighting spirit rubbing off on the plantlife around them. The plantlife then promptly shoved all that fighting spirit into said berries to get the spiritual contamination away from them... at least according to myth. The berries do give pokemon that eat them the Fighting type for the following day however, unless they are ghosts, in which case they tend to be stuck with the fighting type for around a week before the change wears off. As a generally tendency, the change tends to be one that either awakens, amplifies, or involves the energy known as 'Aura' that Lucario in particular are known for controlling, and some connections have been suggested with the supportive aura shown by the Alola region's Totem pokemon.
For a less meme version of what's basically the same idea.

forums.sufficientvelocity.com
In the communities of Poliwag that live in or around the crescent-shaped lakes and marshes that border Origin Sand deserts, there is a worrying trend. These Poliwags will live as normal Poliwags, evolve into normal Poliwhirl and eventually Poliwrath or Politoed, as they prefer, and spawn new Poliwag in their homes. This, according to them, is the one and only, true way to live.
It is, therefore, very tragic when such a Poliwag evolves into a Poliwhirl within the bounds of a Hydropellant Field, gaining the Ground typing at the cost of the bitter (and sometimes violent) rejection of the only community they've ever known.
These Poliwhirl almost always end up wandering said Hydropellant Field, eventually finding community with other such Poliwhirl in caves beneath the desert, where they train, fight, and meditate without water for extremely long periods of time. This latter activity evolves them into Ground/Fighting-type Poliwrath, which are pillars of such communities.

Miraidon Tail Shedding
A relatively small piece of shed Miraidon skin from the tail will, if ingested by a Pokémon, confer upon that Pokémon the Steel or Electric typing until said skin fragment is fully digested. This typing is not random, and Pokémon of the same species will always become the same type. If the Pokémon is already a Steel- or Electric-type, then their other existing Type (if applicable) is overwritten with whichever Type they don't already have. The attendant physical transformations always seem to make the Pokémon look obviously artificial, often robotic.
Note that Miraidon tail sheddings are ferrous and frequently contain residual electric charge, and so most Pokémon may need significant cajoling and/or a very close bond with their Trainer before they consent to eating them.

Reverse Grapes
-Despite their name, Reverse Grapes are actually a kind of tuber. Unlike most tubers, however, it forms a thin 'vine' underground which grows multiple fleshy sacs, resembling grapes but closer in appearance and consistency to small potatoes.
If eaten by a single-typed Pokémon, these sacs do nothing*. If eaten by a dual-typed Pokémon, however, the sacs cause the primary and secondary Types to switch, causing appropriate physical changes over the course of fifteen minutes. The effects last for five hours. Further consumption increases the duration of the effect, but with a sharp decline in effectiveness, such that five grapes extends the duration to fifteen hours, and multiple grapes are required on top of this to extend the effect by even another hour.
*One of the Pokémon tested reported extreme gastrointestinal distress, but this Pokémon was later found to have been very successfully begging for greasy, high-fat snack foods from multiple researchers, so this being a symptom of Reverse Grape consumption has been judged highly improbable.

Vile Contagion (Dark)
-An inky black liquid that tends to semi-solidify into thin, fragile sacs when exposed to the air. The sacs are technically denatured, but liquefy into an active state quickly enough after they're broken. The transformations it induces follow a gothic theming - lots of black, spikes, plain metal, et cetera. Notably, while the Dark typing doesn't inherently affect your personality, the Vile Contagion does. Those under its effects will feel an urge to act more selfishly and sadistically. It's not an irresistible urge, but it doesn't go away until the Contagion is removed, which means that any given person (human, Pokémon, or otherwise) will inevitably give in to it if they continue to operate under its effects.
Marrow Contagion (Ghost)
-A bone-white fluid with a gritty texture. The transformations it induces are bone-themed and generally end with the Pokémon looking like a skeletal version of itself. Notably, Cubone and Marowak are completely immune.

Quark Crystal: A mysterious crystal found washed up on beaches, ingesting it slowly turns you into a Robot version, a steel type as you usually keep your primary type. It's named such for because of the data of the Pokemon found. As of right now, the changes are irreversible once it has fully completed Conversion, which usually takes 1 to 2 hours.
Notes: Mundane Clay does seem to undo Roboticization on mammals, though the Steel/Normal Typing remains afterward. No time limit has been found on this "cure". No insect or mineral cases have been found, so testing of such is stalled. A number of Water/Steel Type Magikarp have been discovered across the world from this phenomenon which relate to this.
Cause Paldea shenanigans messing with the time stream. Some end up in the ocean and wash up. Others get eaten by Magikarp, the idiots. There has been one case of an Iron Feebas discovered with Conversion moves, for some reason. All such Pokémon have Quark Drive as their ability, and cannot evolve naturally.

A succulent that sprouts in Lum Berry-enriched soil. If eaten, it cures a status condition, as well as curing any type change or transformation with a time limit (possibly with a limit, say, only up to 24 hours? maybe it reduces the "timer" by 24 hours?)

Dragon Fruit:
A fruit found in tropical environments, particularly those with numerous dragon types. Primarily fed on by dragon types, the seeds of the fruit are usually dispersed by dragon types as they travel the global. Not usually accessible to other types due to the tough hide of the fruit and the numerous thorns that coat it. Doesn't have any effect on dragon types. When fed on by non-dragon types, it boosts dragon energy in the consumer. The energy boost is not enough to provide dragon typing to the consumer, but is enough to aid in the teaching of draconic typed moves. Often used by move tutors to help teach non-dragon types how to access and use dragon type energy.
Shadowfish:
A mundane fish that is found in the Hadalpelagic Zone of the ocean. Usually preyed upon by the denizens of the deep sea, it survives the depths of the deep sea by employing ghost type energies to maintain a semi-tangible state. This often results in predators deciding this animal is too difficult to secure capture of without having a typed move to counter the ghost type energy employed. Not able to be caught with normal nets, which it phases through, nets woven with Misdreavus hair are required to catch it. When consumed by non-aquatic Pokemon it can provide either a Ghost typing or a Water typing. The form of those that consume it are less solid and gain an almost semi-solid/fluid state (akin to a blob fish, which actually look normal when they are in their natural habitat). Guarantees a water typing if the Pokemon consuming it is a Ghost type.
I thought it might be fun to play with the fact that deep sea organisms like the so-called blob fish are developed for entirely different environmental pressures than those we are familiar with. Under the pressures of the deep sea, they would look normal (have a normal solid state) but with the...

Hell...I knew I was forgetting something alongside the earlier chapter corrections I had noted down on my last phone and hadn't gotten back to.
Like a plant (Peach of Tomorrow? I don't think I had a name lined up) that would grant Psychic type but only if its very particular, very random tending requirements were met without being exposed to actual precognition. (Celebi using time travel to get around this is okay.)
*grabs phone for those plants Celebi might've delivered, cracks knuckles*
- Dragonsbreath [or firebreath] pepper: straightforward. Icy Mint its obvious inverse.
- Being PokéJapan, a gnawed leaf like for tanuki-sort of illusion...which is sometimes Psychic, sometimes Dark, I guess, though transformation's domain can also arguably Normal type, given Ditto/Porygon/Arceus.
- Wing Maple Seed, grant wings/flyingtype (hang on I need to fend off a Falkner swarm).
- Venomed Serpent Apple.
- I'd suggest a ghost pumpkin, but...hmm, nearly/in-effigy eating a Gourgeist/Pumpkaboo seems ghastly/Ghostly.
- Turtle Peaches as a spinoff of the fruit of immortality.
- ReBark, a strange bark that can be peeled off and applied to another creature to turn them into a plant. Must cover half before working; there's a bit of a lack of inconvenient TF mats in this work [at time of writing this list] which makes sense because they're in the field, not a lab [where they could deal with the inconveniences]
- Clock Nuts, which are clockwork cogs but not comprising steel even if they make one mechanical Steel-type. [Think an acorn but make the acorn one bevel gear and the cap another.]
- Shade Tree, granting extra dark type [past-me, what did you mean here] to anything shaded by its leaves. Possibly related to Shiftry.
- (name-pending) [guess I remembered correctly] psychic-granting berry paste, but only if the berry is called-shot picked before the picker is aware of it, requiring insane luck or psychic premonition or timetravel. Cannot be cultivated with use by psychics or people who did not pick them. If cultivated, after a bit of careful selective breeding (again optionally stupidly specific steps [normally] requiring premonition), bestows psychic type with quarter potency of original.
- "fey contagion" no, that's called Changeling.
- I expect[ed] Ice Contagion (creeping frost)
