Steel today is literally the most broken thing in all of Pokemon since the first gen.

Its original inception was to be primarily defensive, with no strong use as an offensive type, and it worked well in that situation for generations.

Now, half of best Pokemon in the primary tier are steel, and for good reasons.

Almost all offensively strong steel types have innately good defences;
It resists the highest BST type in the game;
It resists the type that counters the type with the highest BST in the game;
It is immune to the type that counters that;
Thus it is also immune to being worn down with toxic;
Its first weakness - fire - is hindered inherently by ever prevalent stealth rocks;
Its second weakness - fighting - has arguably been the most hard-hit type in the game in the past half decade;
Its third weakness - ground - is often offset by the fact most steel types have huge defence, also two of the three most overused steel types are immune, anyway

When is this shit getting fixed? A weakness to electricity, perhaps?

Inspired by this thread >>32399323, I decided to start it again.

Rules are simple:
>download the pic
>strike, cross or white out 3 pokémon you absolutely despise for whatever reason
>post the updated version and so on until one pokémon is left (or two, three whatever)

this may take several threads so look out for results
