If you're still doing this, I'd see Knossos as a ground/normal type probably! With like a archeology theme.

Day 21: Mythology

So I'm a huge nerd when it comes to Greek mythology/history, so I absolutely lost my mind when I ran into the palace of Knossos and figured what was going to happen. The maze had me terrified though...
