Haven't kept up with pokemon in a bit. What's up with fairy and stellar?
>>
Stellar isn't really a type. It's part of the terresstrial gimmick in scarlet and violet. No pokemon actually has this type. Fun fact if you hack a pokemon to have the stellar type, it's resistances and weaknesses will be the same as poison.
>>
>>729643184
Stellar Pokemon have a permanent 41% chance of hurting themselves in confusion.
>>
>>729643432
Gimmicks are part of what killed Pokemon. Now we're stuck with this legacy type forever, despite it never being relevant or expanded upon in later games, just because Game Freak wanted a one gen "LOOK WE ADDED SOMETHING NEW!" buzzword.

The Pokemon type is related to this:

Stellar is part of the Tera gimmick. Tera as a gimmick allows you to change a Pokemon's type mid-battle to be whatever type their Tera type is. They become that type defensively, and gain STAB on it as well while not losing their original STAB. A Pokemon with a Stellar Tera Type keeps its original types, but instead gets a one time STAB boost to every attacking move they have. It's a mediocre gimmick at best.

>>729643848
That's such a retarded point, it's not actually a real type and it's far less intrusive than other past gimmicks.

Stellar isn't a type. It's basically designed as an anti gimmick gimmick.
>>
>>729643184
Stellar isn't a real type.
Gen 9 has a gimmick called terrastalization where a pokemon can temporarely change it's type in battle.
Stellar type is a type only available through terrastallization. It doesn't change the pokemon weaknesses and resistances, but provide a power boost for the first move of each type the user use.
There is also a move called terra blast, which type is based on the user terra type. If he is stellar type, the move deal super effective damage against terrastalized pokemon, neutral damage otherwise.
Once gen10 release and ditch the terrastalization gimmick, stellar type will be gone with it too.
>>
Gen 10 needs to fix fucking everything, this shit is a mess

Fix Hurricane
Fix Meteor Mash
Fix broken ass Glimmora auto toxic spikes and make it 50% chance.
Nerf Stealth Rocks for fucks sake. No weakness checks. Fuck that shit
Stop making boosting abilities and signature moves with no drawbacks
Stop making guaranteed bullshit completely guaranteed

>>729643184
Fairy was made to counter dragon and also make the lacking poison/steel types better. Fairy is now one of the best types in the game (at least last I checked).
Stellar is a special type that is only part of one of the game's gimmicks, there's no pokemon with said type, so it's basically not one.
>>
>>729652361
They should make it so if you put a focus sash on a Glimmora then the game crashes.
>>
>>729652602
>Fairy was made to counter dragon and also make the lacking poison/steel types better.
It became a far worse problem than Dragon ever was, furthermore, Steel and Poison are still garbage.

Congrats, Gamefreak.
>>
>>729652361
Pokemon is unfixable. The demand from the top for a new mainline game so often, plus a new gimmick each time AND a slew of new mons, it's going too fast to stop and clear up. It's like trying to change the tyres on a motorbike without stopping.

> Once gen10 release and ditch the terrastalization gimmick, stellar type will be gone with it too.
New leaks show they’re doubling down on Type fuckery. Gen X will have something even dumber.
>>
>>729652878
>Pokemon is unfixable
I also don't think they'll ever try to rebalance the types.
>>
>>729652835
>Worse problem that Dragon ever was.
Never played against Drag/mag.
>Steel is bad
Steel is the most important defensive type in the entire game. Everything that Steel resists is a significantly worse offensive type because of it.
>>
>>729653121
And even then Steel has some good moves going for it. Heavy Slam shits on 99% of Fairy Types and Pokemon like Iron Hands run it in VGC exclusively to OHKO Flutter Mane. Or how Gholdengo's Make it Rain is a nuclear button when set up properly.
