Paradox Pokemon for Raikou, Entei, Cobalion and Terrakion?

[ReKoil]

Galar gave us regional forms for the birb trio from Kanto.

Paldea has so far given us a future Paradox for Virizion and a past Paradox for Suicune. The remainder of those trios could very well still get Paradox Pokemon that make it into the games via DLC.

Do you expect the rest of these trios to get Paradox Pokemon?
If they do, do you think the Legendary beast trio would all be given past Paradoxes and the Swords of Justice all future Paradoxes? Or would they mix it up within the trios?
If they are given Paradoxes, what typings would you like to see on Paradox Raikou, Entei, Cobalion and Terrakion ?

Edit, forgot to answer these myself lol:

Spoiler:

I'm fully expecting we'll get the Paradoxes for the remaining members of these trios through DLC. They'll probably keep the groups together, meaning past Paradox Entei & Raikou and future Paradox Cobalion and Terrakion. I would not mind if they mixed it up and swap 1 or both of them though.

Past Raikou: Electric/Fairy. Currently only on two Pokemon iirc.
Past Entei: Fire/Steel. Exists only on Heatran, would like to see another one.
Future Cobalion: Steel/Ice. Only exists on Alolan Sandshrew/slash atm.
Future Terrakion: Rock/Grass. Breaks Lileep/Cradily's monopoly on the type.
Mainly picking these combinations for rarity.

Expects the rest of the trios to get Paradox forms. Gave all the Kanto birds a regional form, not just some.

Nods. Probably makes more sense to keep all of one trio past and the other future. Maintains some level of cohesion that way.

• Past Raikou: Electric / Dark. For dark thunderclouds. Passed on Electric / Flying because of Kilowattrel.
• Past Entei: Fire / Ice. Purely for the odd typing.
• Cobalion: Steel / Ghost. Again, for the odd typing. (And hey, actual Steel future Paradox Pokemon.)
• Terrakion: Rock / Water. To try to make a good Water/Rock type for once.

Kept the Flying type for all the Kanto bird trio. Would have guessed the same with the Swords of Justice's Fighting type, if not for Iron Leaves.

Personally, I hope not. I still believe that Paradox Pokémon are uncreative, lazy, and lack inspiration because they simply copy pre-existing Pokémon. In addition, because they often have signature moves, better type combinations, and oftentimes even better base stat totals, they often completely invalidate the original Pokémon that they're based on. I'd rather see the original Pokémon improve as a species over time than have them replaced by some cheap one-off gimmick. Instead of creating these new and/or rare type combinations on gimmick knockoffs, Game Freak should save them for new Pokémon instead.

Oh hey, I have literally been thinking this for a while but was hoping and waiting to see in anybody else was thinking the same thing.

I mean, we originally saw how the original forms in the book were a fusion of the each whole trio, so I was disappointed to see the outcome be only one from the trio. So maybe each whole trio got paradox forms and the book was supposed to show a combination, but that's really just guessing.

I also thought up possible typings for them all:

Past paradox:
Electric/Ghost - If one of them ended up as two legged, I think that would mean a high chance all three would end up being randomly bipedal. I thought of something sleek and speed based, so I figured this could work. Incidentally I do think Devalue's thundercloud idea could work better for Ghost than Dark, since Ghost covers actual shade based stuff (It's still a really cool idea though!)

Fire/Fighting - For a bipedal version of this one I imagine a more bulky counterpart to the other two. And would most likely be using heavy fists to brawl. And hey, at least it's not a starter with this typing!

Future paradox:
Rock/Grass: Surprised I managed to see eye to eye with someone else here! Different reason though: I just saw a lot of cool fanart of solar panel based future paradox mons and since the original has these real wide horns, we could turn those into such (and I figured Grass could work since it is sun based and Rock/Grass is a neat typing.

Steel/Dark: Actually, I'm unsure about this one. Just simply thought it could be interesting and we could just make it that it just became corrupt over time or something.

Besides, she's a part of the "Swords of Justice," but they didn't even do her any justice. I'm talking about Virizion. She is supposed to be 6'7," but Iron Leaves is like, what, 4'11?" That's just another reason to hate Paradox Pokémon.
