Holy shit Nerf it again, HARD
>>59709382Gay fairy hands made this thread.
>>59709382Cope, Fairyfag.
Make it resist Dark again
>>59709382Remove Bug, Grass and Steel resistancesDamaging Steel moves by Steel-types vs Steel-types raise the Attack/Special Attack of the user and Defense/Special Defense of the target, steel sharpens steel and such
>>59709382Making it weaker means the Pokemon who are good against it are less valuable. Balancing a game does not mean everything has the same number of weaknesses and resistances.
Just bring back Inverse Battles.Steel becomes straight up rancid in it.
>>59709382Adds weakness to electric
>>59710447Metal just conduct it, if anything it should be inmune.Tey again when they add the micro chip type
>>59710452Try* again
>>59710457The same applies to fire; most metals have a higher tolerance than, for instance, a flesh-and-blood fighter, a villain, or a toxic substance that would evaporate instantly.
>>59709382Eh, bring back the Ghost resistance. Fucking NOTHING resists ghost. Ghost is too bullshit a type.
>>59709382I don't particular understand why Steel resists Psychic (other than obviously cuz Psychic really needed new counters in Gen II). Why exactly does being PHYSICALLY strong and durable provide any protection against MENTAL attacks?Psychic should be neutral on Steel. In exchange, Bug should resist Psychic. Bugs have hive minds/are too dumb to mind control/have minds that are so alien a psychic can't understand/control them.
>>59711894Tinfoil hat
>>59711894This, if anyone should have issues with the Steel type, it ought to be the Ghost type, given the historical associations between ghosts, supernatural entities, and monsters with certain metals—such as iron, bronze, gold, and silver.
>>59711910When I was a kid I saw some schizo haunted hotel documentary on TV that said ghosts can't phase through brick walls. So I've always really wanted Rock to resist Ghost, but I guess that's something the documentary pulled out of their ass and isn't a real ghost lore thing :/
>>59711903i choose not to validate the beliefs of literal tinfoil hat conspiracy freaks in any way
>>59711914The idea of ghosts passing through walls was popularized by 18th-century shows known as "phantasmagoria," which used mirrors, lights, and early projectors to frighten audiences with illusions. Prior to this, ghosts were simply envisioned as dead people who behaved as if they were still alive.A common theme across various cultures is that ghosts remain tethered to a specific location—not because of some rigid rule, but because the place holds personal significance for them. This could be their former home, the site where they died, or, in rarer instances, a portable object, such as a piece of jewelry.
>>59711910There should be more moves like Freeze-Dry.For example, against Ghost-types: a Grass-type move based on stakes, a Poison-type move based on garlic, a Rock-type move based on salt circles, and a Psychic-type move based on talismans.And so on, for various other types.
>>59709382Weak to>fire>fighting>psychic (the spoon-bending thing)>electric (same reason water is weak to electric)No longer weak to groundNo longer resists ghost or darkStrong vs>ice>rock>fairy>dragon (dragon-slaying knights and swords)
>>59710566Rock should resist Ghost because of the superstitions around salt being able to keep spirits away.IIRC the thing with salt also applies to fairies so Rock would also resist Fairy.
>>59712348Tyrantrum doesn't need a 4× weakness to Steel thank you very much.But someone will pull a gotcha accompanied with a wojak so there's no point in defending it.
>>59710452considering how water is weak to electric, steel should have it as a weakness toologically it makes sense and it's just one more weakness, the type still serves its purpose of resisting a shit ton of types
>>59709382Why? What's the problem? It exists to be fodder to Fire, Ground, and Fighting type mons. Gholdengo is maybe the most obnoxious one, because even Archaludon eats shit to Ground and Fighting moves.You can even run type-changing moves and fuck everything in your path over by making it weak to you.
>>59712420you're technically right that for consistent logic Steel should be weak too, but 4 weakness is way too much for a type that's supposed to made to be defensive and keep in mind, Water has Rain, high power offensive moves, and a shitton of good abilities that are mostly on water types. Steel doesn't really have that. But more to the point, Steel not being weak makes sense if you think about what electricity does to the material. Steel can carry a current without beign damaged, but electricity splits water apart. into Hydrogen and Oxygen. Note: Electricity also splits are apart to changing parts of it to plasma justifying Flying's weakness to electricity despite air being a poor conductor. Note: Game Freak is full of lazy retards, they almost certainly weren't thinking about any of the above when coming up with weakness. it just ends up weirdly working out.
>>59712434Sir, we don't capitalize the "a" in archaludon here.
>>59712394>Tyrantrum doesn't need a 4× weakness to Steel thank you very much.Tyrantrum wouldn't give a shit about a x4 weakness to anything if it had a rock-type equivalent to fishious rend like it should (in fact a x4SE bullet punch would be the only thing balancing it out at that point)>But someone will pull a gotcha accompanied with a wojak so there's no point in defending it.Huh? Why would anyone do that?
>>59712464>if it had a rock-type equivalent to fishious rend like it shouldI'd rather having my favorite Pokemon (plural) not rely on braindead busted nonsense like that thank you very much.
>>59712798As opposed to what it currently does? Which is?
>>59712464>this mon should get a buff that i am aware will make opponents dependent on using one scarcely distributed move to deal with...the fuck are you smoking?
>>59712835By that I meant a buff that would give Tyrantrum something genuine as opposed to Dracovish having Fisheous Rend.
>>59712843I say fishious rend but any semblance of a rock biting move would be fine by me, desu (ideally stronger than rock slide, psychic fang BP at least). Give it to drednaw, too. Even with rock's gimmick being very few high risk high reward moves, there has to be a world beyond head smash, rock slide and stone edge. Otherwise why even give these guys strong jaw.>>59712838It's his turn to be broken
>>59712935>Otherwise why even give these guys strong jaw.Because Game Freak is retarded.>It's his turn to be brokenAurorus too.
>>59711894Because several types of metal literally stop or hinder waves.Ever heard of lead or you know, a Faraday cage?Is education truly illegal in the united states of israel?
>>59713138>Is education truly illegal in the united states of israel?Yes because it's democrat liberal marxist pagan luciferian communist socialist anti-american anti-christian new age vegan hippie environmentalist feminist minority pagan woke witchcraft, and ultimately Jewish.#MAGA
>>59711903Brilliant.
>>59710447This.Mech enemies being weak to thunder is like an RPG staple.Pokemon is fucking weird
>>59714687If Steel was weak to Electric then Game Freak would find a way to fuck over physical Electric type Pokemon once more.
>>59710566>>59712374I still think that Psychic should resist Ghost, if anything they’d be some of the only ones even able to detect ghosts in the first place. I like the idea of making Rock resist Ghost though, that one change makes more sense than most type interactions and would make a lot of rock types much better.
>>59710452How about Water-type moves that reduce the Speed of Steel-type Pokémon by half?
>>59715517and Poison-type moves that double the Speed of Steel-type Pokémon
