Groups and Nen Types
The Main Four
Gon: Enhancer, Combat
Killua: Transmuter, Mixed
Kurapika: Conjuror/Specialist, Mixed
Leorio: Emitter, Mixed
One of each type except for manipulator, and every ability except gon's has a mix of utility and combat prowess. The main four is a little small to see any clear trend of nen users in groups and what types they are.
One thing to note is that abilities made to obfuscate combat are not considered combat abilities; mind control is not considered a combat ability for example.
The Spiders
OG-ish spiders, before they started dying but after they got nen.
Chrollo: Specialist , Mixed
Nobunaga: Enhancer, Combat
Fietan: Transmuter, Combat
Machi: Transmuter, Mixed
Hisoka: Transmuter, Mixed
Phinks: Enhancer, Combat
Shizuku: Conjuror: Mixed
Shalnark: Manipulator, Utility
Pakunoda: Specialist, Utility
Bonolenov: Conjuror, Mixed
Uvogin: Enhancer, Combat
Kortopi: Conjuror, Utility
FRANKLIN HOW COULD I FORGET I AM SORRY: Emitter, Combat
Now we're talking
Specialists: 2
Enhancers: 3
Transmuter: 3
Conjuror: 3
Manipulator: 1
Emitter: 1
With more than twice as many members than nen types, the fact that there is only 1 emitters seems odd, and even if you include later members like Illumi, Kalluto and the fake stupid fuck from the movies, the trend stays the same. Additionally, franklin seems to have a lot of friction with most of the members of the troupe at one time or another.
This makes me Headcanon that emitters are seen as more reckless and less reliable, and generally not favored for group actions.
Additionally, there are no enhancers with utility to their abilities. We know from Bill's ability that this is possible, but more common with female enhancers. I also want to note that Feitan is essentially an enhancer, given the reactive nature of his abilities and how adjacent transmutation is to enhancement.
This makes me think that more than other types, enhancers are seen for their gender and possibly male enhancers are preferred for their presumed combat effectiveness.
Above all, it seems that the most common abilities provide a blend of utility and combat prowess which. yea. Duh.
I would LOVE to go deep and talk about more groups but there are so few we know anything about. GREED ISLAND and the zodiacs are the main ones I wish I could write about.
As a final note, I headcanon that manipulators generally don't play well with others, and shalnark is an exception rather than the rule, because all of the later members of the troupe who are manipulators come in with their own intentions.

♪─Shizuku x reader she forgot wasn’t a long time s/o─♪
To make sense of this basically these hcs about shizuku remembering reader as someone she’s been dating for 6 years. When in fact they’ve only known each other as friends for 6 months :)
~just a fluffy little writing prompt~ <3
To start off you and shizuku were having a conversation over your favorite drinks and it some how tied back to how long you’ve known each other
”mm, yeah we’ve known each other for about 6 mo- no.. 6 years right??”
”hm? No only six months, remember shizuku?”
”no! It’s been 6 years! We’ve been friends for so long how could you not remember??”
”what?! Shizuku! We’ve only known each other for six months! We met recently at a book store remember?? You said you liked mystery books and I said I liked (favorite genre)”
”what are you talking about (name)? What about all the times we had together? Your saying that didn’t happen?”
”Shizuku your misremembering again. We met at a bookstore!”
”mhm, yea 6 years ago!”
”what?! No we didn’t we met when- ah never mind”
”yeah I know.”
you stopped yourself after realizing she wasn’t letting up and you didn’t want this to turn into an argument
”by the way, what should we do for our anniversary this year?”
”wait what??”
”well we did sightseeing last year, and went to the beach the year before that, so i was thinking why don’t we go to a waterfall this year?”
”wait go back! What do you mean anniversary?? a sixth month friend anniversary?—and what beach?? What sightseeing?!”
”what are you talking about? We’ve been dating for a while now! I’m talking about our 6 year anniversary, I know it’s not official between us yet but I thought we discussed this? How come you don’t remember?”
”none of that happened! We just met 6 months ago what are you-“
you paused
All the sudden you realized maybe she was doing that on purpose??
”do you remember now?”
you relax into your seat
“Good. I was starting to think you had amnesia”
you realized this might’ve been her way to propose and make it official!! You were now shizuku’s official s/o!!!
so yes. You two did become a happy couple from a single miscommunication during a simple conversation.
(More like misremembering and misunderstanding)
for the record, you did go on that waterfall visit
you two are adorable 💗
this was so cuteeeee <3 also it’s short on purpose :)
