>ruins your balance forever
>>59219159That’s not mega evolution
>created because psychic was OP in Gen 1>it was only OP because gamefreak made the only ghost type in the game have poison secondary so it still gets one shot by Alakazam despite "countering" it.they are fucking retarded
>>59219159That’s not tera blast
>add fairy type to nerf dragons (understandable)>remove steel's dark resistance to compensate for its new fairy resist (understandable)>also remove steel's ghost resist and start shitting out overtuned ghosts like it's going out of style1 step forward, 2 steps back
Too many overpowered moves. No other type gets STAB options like Knock Off or Sucker Punch.
>>59219202The issue is way too many non dark mons can learn dark moves for coverage, it's ridiculous a random water type can bite spam your psychic pokemon to death
>>59219215it's a bite action, retard. Of course it's so universal. The issue is not turning it into Normal type.
>>59219198You forgot >fairy resisting bug (why the fuck would you nerf arguably the worst type in the game?)
>>59219248are you autistic? You agree with my point yet still lash out. Yes, the issue is the move is dark type. Congratulations, you got it.
>>59219260u-Turn
>>59219260Yeah. Bugs should be natural fairy eaters instead just to make it fun
The type chart was literally perfect in gen1 and every change and new type has made things worse, this is a fact. The only issue was MAYBE dragon type was too overpowered but honestly just get over it
Let's make this a fun thread and retype all Dark, Steel, and Fairy types to the original Gen 1 type roster.E.G.Umbreon -> PoisonMurkrow -> Normal/FlyingHoundour -> Ghost/FireSneasel -> IceTyranitar -> Rock/Ground
Poison is already the deceptive evil ninja type. Dark makes zero sense to exist
>>59219290t. lance
>>59219284Halving U-turn’s BP would have accomplished the same thing, without running the entire type
>>59219198Ok but also>add fairy type to nerf dragons>do absolutely nothing to ice despite removing its main purpose to exist which was to slay dragons
>>59219174Psychic was OP because the only thing that resisted Psychic was Psychic itself typechart wise at least.It also doesn’t help that Bug and Ghost moves back then were complete dogshit that even hitting super effectively means doing less damage than STAB Body Slam more often than not.
>>59219367Or restricting its distribution. That’s just how Gamefreak balances shit though, weird half-assed attempts that make a bunch of stuff catch strays.
>>59219170Megas are way less damaging to balance compared with dynamax or terá.
Make gengar pure ghost, make ghost special, bug and ghost got decents attacks and resist to psychic. Here psychic is balanced
>>59219530I think Ghost was made Physical because most Psychic types had a high Special so hitting them in their Defense stat would be exploiting a built-in weakness. Without new types there's no reason to change it's classification.
>>59219523Tera would have be fine if Gen 9 didn't introduce a broken shit like Kinggambit.
>>59219628Ghost was Physical because the only attacking Ghost moves in Gen 1 were Lick anz Night Shade and Shadow Ball
>>59219780I don't there's anything explicitly physical about Night Shade (I understand Lick though)
>>59219174Poison was the original "evil" type until they added an Evil type
>>59220174Night shade didn’t count bc it was fixed and could hit normal anyways
>>59219174>Shadow Ball (the only good new ghost move) was a one-use TM and Misdreavus (the only new Ghost-type) was only available at the literal end of the game>Fury Cutter was a one-use TM and took a bit to power up, and Megahorn could only be learned by Heracross, which was rare and part Fighting>Umbreon was the only Dark-type that you could get pre-Kanto (Crystal at least added Larvitar to the Goldenrod Game Corner and Sneasel to Ice Path)>Scizor is conceivably a Psychic killer, but it (and Scyther) learn no Bug moves and you could only get it through trade evolution with a late game itemIt's honestly astounding how they tripped literally every step of the way while nerfing Psychics in Gen II.
>>59219628I think that's was because the only ghost attack was lick, but shadow Ball need to be a 95bp special attack to help gengar counter psychics
>>59219202they should nerf knock off
>>59219317There's nothing ghostly about Houndoom it should be pure fire.Tyranitar should be Rock/Bug
>>59219397Fairy should have been weak to Ice, like in the early XY type chart from the teraleak.
>>59220824>Fairy should have been weak to Ice, like in the early XY type chart from the teraleak.Source?
>>59219198They seething at a GOLD dengo
>>59219159lolIt literally never recovered from the introdution of this one move.
>>59220838Here's the leak thread where anon was dumping some XY stuffhttps://arch.b4k.dev/vp/thread/56667621/#56670858>Fairy was going to be SE against BugFucking lmao
>>59221270Basically, it was originally super effecrive on on Bug, and its tyoe interactions with Poison were initially its interactions with Ice.
>>59221270>Fairy was going to be SE against BugWTF
>>59219397>>59220824This doesn't buff Ice, it buffs Water. Ice is one of two types where STAB is almost a nonfactor because most of Water universally get Ice moves. Ironically, the other type with this problem is Dark, where almost every fucking mon in the game gets Dark coverage now
