Salt encrusted hands typed this post

>>58275787
having both a rock type and a ground was real dumb

This. The erosion thing doesn't make any fucking sense. I can buy Hydro Pump eroding rock, but literally every other Water attack clearly would not chip away at solid stone whatsoever. It takes decades for a waterfall to even begind to erode rock, or it takes extremely high-pressure water. The fact that rocks sink in water also doesn't really make sense for contributing to an in-battle weakness. There's really no excuse for solid stone to be somehow weak to water attacks, even cartoonish logic doesn't really work. 95% of Water Type attacks clearly would not be capable of eroding the Rock Type.

The Grass weakness is fine tho. It's also based on plant erosion, but in this case the Grass Type is using its special powers to make years' worth of plant growth happen instantaneously. So you would actually get several years of erosion to the rock happening in an instant

I like this. If not salt, then the justification can just be that stone is too solid of a material for a ghosts to phase through.

Same element =\= same Type. Types are not elements. They're whatever factors into the rock-paper-scissors logic, and stone and solid clearly do not behave the same way, nor do ice and water

>stone and solid clearly do not behave the same way, nor do ice and water
nor do mushrooms and plants
nor do cutesy shit and woodland tricksters
nor do unremarkable and type-agnostic

Merge it with ground

>>58275787
More moves that have 100% accuracy.

As >>58275812 said, give Tyranitar fat fucking tits. Next, give it pursuit back. Now, the shopping list:
>solid rock is now a 50% damage reduction on super effective hits. Rhyperior and Carracosta see large buffs
>Aerodactyl now has brave bird and head smash
>give Kabutops shell smash
>Let's make Rhydon hit stupidly hard. Make a new eviolite that increases attack
>ancientpower's base power rises to 90 if used by a fossil
>Sudowoodo evo
>only rock types can learn stealth rock now
>mega Gigalith
>Tyrantrum now has bite STABs
>buff accelerock to 60 base power. Midnight Lycanroc can now learn the move
>Kleavor's stone axe has higher base power
>Hisuian Avalugg now has solid rock since it's literally a hunk of frozen rock
>mega Bombirdier. Rocky payload is good. Just give the bird better stats
>MEGA KLAWF
>Iron Thorns finally has a good physical electric move
>rock legendaries in gen 10
Rock is a good type. It just needs pokemon that to be buffed to modern standards while making them more valuable through stealth rock exclusivity. Do not buff Terrakion - fuck him.

I have no idea how to save Aurorus and Bastiodon without slapping solid rock on them, which is counter-productive to how they function. One is an offensive mon while the other wants to take heavy damage and dish it back with metal burst.

Nah. Attack Eviolite is stupid.
