She’s the worst design in her line. Rhyhorn > Rhyperior >>> Rhydon
>>
>>59459111

I could have sworn Phoebe was always flat. Her boobs werent actually this big
>>
>>59459018
I never understood what significance gamefreak gave to priority of dual types. Like which type comes first has no gameplay difference whatsoever.

oh so rhyperior fags are trannies, it all makes sense

>>59459193
Revelation Dance is the only instance of it mattering, and it's only on a single Pokemon
>>
>>59459018
I mean you would immediately know if you actually used her. But I get it, she has that rock/ground "look", same reason why some people think that Mawile is part dark type too.
>>
>>59460160
Untrue because its ability has a built in electric immunity and its spdef is so low 4x vs 2x is still gonna kill you

Per Bulbapedia, looks like type order also effects the damage calculation for Present in Gold and Silver due to a glitch (where the damage varies based on the secondary types of the user and target if applicablr) and of course Judgement in Legends Arceus where, if holding the Legend Plate, Judgement will prioritize changing Arceus to a type that resists the opponent's primary type
>>
>>59459193
Theoretically, the 1st type is the main one (breeding, movepool) whereas the 2nd type is an added detail (TMs, gained from evolution, mostly physical types like flying(wings) or poison(spikes) or even ice/rock for shells).

With that logic Moltres should have been Flying/Fire vs Charizard Fire/Flying.
>>
>>59460557
I don't think "gained from evolution" should always be secondary, like Onix going from Rock/Ground to Steel/Ground makes the most sense
>>
There's definitely some internal logic to what is primary and secondary type.
There is also a noticeable shift during Gen VIII, with Flying now being much more common as a primary type and standalone type. Birds like Corviknight, Cramorant, and Bombirdier would previously have been Steel/Flying, Water/Flying, and Dark/Flying. I'd argue Cramorant should still actually be Water/Flying since it is much more closely associated with water than flying.
Another change that happened was related to Pokémon getting secondary typings upon evolution. Prior when a Pokémon gained a second typing, it would always take the secondary slot, no exceptions. No you have cases where the new type might instead push the previous primary type into the secondary slot. An example would be G. Slowpoke which goes Psychic -> Poison/Psychic. Had it been introduced earlier it would be Psychic -> Psychic/Poison.

All of what you said is an oversight mistake from gamefreak, obviously.
>>
>>59459018
give split evoluton
>>
>>59460642
True.
And since G Mime is Ice/Psychic, Mime Jr now goes from Psychic/Fairy to Ice/Psychic.
>>
>>59460619
concepts devolved quickly after Gen 1:
>wind as Normal type, Flying is birdness
>grabbing and throwing are Fighting type, not karate and punches
>Ghost types are not real spirits, no shadow magic
etc


That's why I split pokemon in 3 phases;
Gen 1 : gritty , kaiju inspired, real world
Gen 2-5: world ending threats, "ancient lore"
Gen 6-9 : gimmicks, friendly rival, meme designs
>>
>>59460619
That's a special case bc the Rock part got coated in Metal

type order should play a role
