how do you feel about mixed attackers?
>>59240691They’re worthless unless they have bloated BSTs or are minmaxed with min defenses and in maxed offenses and speed. Competent devs could make mixed attackerinb be a consistently good niche but game freak has lazy pedophiles not competent devs.
and thats how calyrex ice was born
>>59240691Fodder until gamefreak release a side game where the versatility matters.
>>59240702Imo the big issue is that GF keeps giving everything too much coverage. Remove half the coverage options, make coverage a differentiation tool. For example Garchomp gets mostly water moves. It will both make individual pokemon more interesting to take in your team instead of being able to just pick the one with the higher BST. Also having mixed attackers now becomes more important, as you can't just brute force your way over a physical wall with your physical coverage for example. Needs some tweaking to make stall less a problem but I think this would be a good step forward, now that games have 1000 characters to pick from.
