>Lorewise, Gigalith's main method of attacking is firing energy beams>It's a physical attacker for some reason?
>>59237646And for some reason sandslash and mega skarmory don't have tough claws ceruledge and armarouge don't have sharpness and mega launcher what else?
>>59237646hitting someone is an energy beam when you think about itbut fire is a chemical reaction that causes the cells and any other matter to break downthats why bro
>>59237646Because game freak are retards, who don’t even want to make Pokémon
>>59237646Unova copy Kanto. Unova know no why Kanto do things.
>>59237813>Unova copy Kanto.True.>Unova know no why Kanto do thingsWrong, they knew exactly why the primary representative of a physical-attacking type (even after split, rock has 3 physical attacks for each special attack at best) was primarily a physical attacker. Its moveset at the time would be:>power gem>maybe ancient powerunless they did the nu-gen specialty and gave it a super broken signature move.
>>59237828Adding new special rock moves for competitive variety wasn't that hard, they just didn't bother doing it.
>>59237646>Pokemon has a genuinely good opposite attacking movepool>the stat for them is unusably lowThis shit annoys me to an unreasonable degree.
>>59237646This was the same gen that has Escavalier's deck talk about how fast it is but its slow as shit.

Same goes for its coverage with fire or electric etc: totally non existent,
