Why are Steel Pokemon over the last 3 gens or so either in the snow zones OR in wild in snow storms only.
ah yes, orthworm, my favorite snow mon
>>58360797The snow helps them cool down
>>58360797creatures of steel wouldn't be bothered by the cold weather, at least as much as the fleshy ones, which is why they fitting to fill out snowy eras, provide some type diversity to the biome
>>58360994very wrong, metal is very brittle in the cold and would be more adversely affected by it than fleshy creatures. Really Fire-types should be more at home in snow biomes.
>>58360797It's a reference to Pokemon Go boosting Steel types in snowy weather
>>58361071pokemon go was a mistake
>Beldum (gen 5)>Bronzong (gen 4, DP only)>Alolan Sandslash (ice type)>Wormadam>Lucario (alpha)>DuraludonThere's more? I didn't play gen 8.
>>58361058I’m pretty sure most Fire types prefer living in the heat
>>58361144Yes, but they're also well-equipped to terraform their environment to their liking. Also some fire-types are depicted living in the cold currently, like infernape of all things.
>>58361071You've got to be shitting me. How much GO cocksucking are they gonna keep adding to the main series?
>>58360797Snow is associated with mountains, which are rich in iron ore.
>>58361058You say that but cold also enhances magnetism which is why Metagross and Magnezone are found high up in cold mountainous areas, this isn't rocket science anonAlso, steel rapes ice
i hate steelfaggots so much right now
>>58360797Color coding.
>>58361058Chimchar is in the snow area of SV's DLC.
>>58361928So is scorbunny and cyndaquil
>>58360797Cause heat melts steel
>>58361071Why the fuck does Snow have to do with steel? If anything steel should appear in sandstorms or something.
>>58362698Gos weather buffs are based on your literal weather it pulls from your GPS location and Irl sandstorms aren't exactly common.
>>58362698metal is cold to the touchand uhthat's it
>>58361853I'd be happy if selective options like those were presented as fitting, I'm not happy with people saying "Ah yeah almost all steel-types would love the cold" when that's the opposite of the truth
Steel is just hard, metallic snow.
>>58360797They prey upon ice-types.
