WHY IS HE PART STEEL?

>>27624479
Because he's GF's OC, do not steel.

Steel spikes on his paws.

Why are you full faggot?

this always confused me

He has metal bones. He's like the wolverine. That's why he learns bone moves

>>27624479
>>27624506

Seriously? He's got steel spiked fused into his body....

>>27624479
steel shorts

>>27624479
something about steel nerves or heart of a warrior or some shit like that

So he has no fighting weaknesses. The reason why steel resists psychic, fairy, and flying

>like hard steel

You don't have to be made of steel to be Steel-type, you just have to hard or durable like steel.

Because edginess

WHY IS HE PART BIRD

>>27624545
Then why isn't Avalugg part Steel?

>>27624532
>Steel resists Fairy not because of iron being a fairy's weakness in some tales, but just for Lucario!
>Steel resists Psychic and Flying just for Lucario! Even though it's had those resists for two fucking gens by the time Lucario came around.

But I'm sure it's all just a Lucario conspiracy. Just like how Fire resists Fairy just for Mega Charizard X and Blaziken, right?

>he has steel spikes
proof? the leek like bone to me. and by that logic, why isnt chandelure a steel? why isnt sableye part rock? it clearly has gems fused into it. same for samurott. he has shell armor. and what about blastoise's canons? their metallic

>>27624582
She's cold

>>27624569
Because Avalugg is a shit

>>27624582
Why is she psychic as well?

>>27624479
DUDE SPIKES LMAO.

>>27624532
um Fighting doesnt resist Fighting anon and Steel is weak against Fighting

>>27624582
She's based on a couple of mythological creatures that are associated with the cold.

>>27624664
What he means is that steel removes fighting-type's weaknesses

>>27624479
He would look way better without the edgy spikes on his hands.

>>27624616
It'd be shittier with the steel typing though, your intended response cancels itself out...

>>27624582
Ice was added late in development so they just slapped it on a few existing mons.

>>27624582
Because she is just like Jenna who refused to go on a date with me. Fuck you Jenna, you're a fucking bitch

>>27624664
>Reading comprehension

>>27624526
No, I think that was the explanation for the blue musketeer.

>>27624569
Because they didn't want Avalugg to be good or interesting in any way.

because they wanted it to be good

any other excuse is a lie

>>27624601
I see no metal on chandelure.

>>27625047
>what is literally every part of chandelire except the glass and the fire

>>27625117
It just looks like one, it isn't actually one, fampai.

>>27625148
It's still probably made of all the same shit.

He works for the masketta girl

>>27625166
Doubtful but even if it was a pokemon can only have 2 types.

>>27624479

People complain about this, but not Mawile, Jirachi, Dialga, Cobalion, Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash, and Trash Cloak Wormadam.

Why just Lucario? Oh wait, because it's popular and the other ones aren't.

>>27624479
Aloa variant Lucario Ground/Psychic

>>27624479
he's not

>>27625341
mawile has a huge fucking steel jaw on its head making up half its mass
jirachi is a meteor
dialga is clearly covered in metal
cobalion gets a free pass because its part of a trio
alola shrew is pretty dumb and makes no sense

>>27624601
I always thought Blastoise should be part steel. When I was gonna get a mega I assumed he would become water-steel in Mega form. Sadly no STAB Flash Cannon

>>27625341
Dialga is fucking covered in metal, retard.

Same reason Rockruff is Rock and Growlithe is Fire. Their cells have those properties.

Why you people struggle to understand why Charizard is not Dragon type? It's because Dragons are fucking resistant to Water while Charizard is weak to Water on a fisiological/cellular/molecular level.

>>27625421

>>27625421
This is the dumbest faux-smart thing I've ever read

>>27625440
That's a Neil Degrasse Tyson tier explanation

>>27625440
But it actually makes sense.

>>27624479
Let's not forget that Lucario is heavily based on the Egyptain god Anubis.

Anubis was the Egyptian god of embalmment. They would help guide spirits into the afterlife. They were also known to measure ones's soul. They are often associated with tombs and the like. Anubis carries around a was sceptre. Perhaps Lucario's Steel-type comes somewhere from here.

Honestly, I always assumed that the dark grey sections of his body were metallic, like the mouth on Mawile's head.

>>27625421
>Fighting is weak to Psychic on a cellular level
>Steels resist Psychic
>Lucario is still Fighting/Steel

>>27624555
Don't you clearly see the beak, anon?

>>27625523
His design was definitely taken from Anubis

His typing was not. An Anubis like Pokemon makes more sense being Dark or Ghost or even Psychic. Not fighting or steel. I'm thinking it's Steel so it wouldn't get shat on by Flying and Psychic type pokemon outright.

>>27625551
He also said fisiological. Shut the fuck up

>>27625551
His body has the properties of steel. So good heat conductor, flexible, good hardness and so on.

Because of midi-chlorians

>>27624582
I always figured it was some kind of opera viking princess thing.

>>27624582
She's a blend of Yama-Uba, Futakuchi onna, ganguro, minstrel blackface, and Skaði.

What are these, a traditional Japanese soup's ingredients?

>>27625756
This, with black/purple hair from being left in the cold. Made perfect sense.

why is this fucker part fairy? Even its steel type seems random, but fairy is just plain wrong

>inb4 it's cute though
>inb4 its backstory makes it fairy

if anything, ghost would make far more sense. Especially when compared to froslass, another woman based japanese yokai (monster)

demon =/= fairy

>>27624479
>>27624526

He has a heart and fists of steel. That's why his HA is Justified.

Why is Jynx Psychic/Ice?
Why is Weavile Dark/Ice?
Why is Drampa part Normal-type?
Why is Vanomoth not Flying-type?

It doesn't fucking matter.

>>27624569
No wood/glass types.

>>27624722
No it wouldn't?
>it gains weaknesses :DD
Yeah but it gains resistances too you dumb fuck. Avalugg is literally bottom-of-the-barrel PU.
Tyranitar has every weakness undder the sun and guess who has been an OU staple for forever? 4x weaknesses mean very little when it comes to viability, and Avalugg being part-Steel would be fantastic because it has fucking Rapid Spin and Recover.

>>27625781
But Pokémon company accidentally added a secret ingredient to the concoction: White Guilt

And thus Jynx was fucking abandoned and will never get an evolution.

>>27625921
Jynx could have been Ghost-type or perhaps Fairy-type, but we'll just have to deal with what we got.
Weavile is based partially on certain demons.
We don't everything about Drampa, but it does feel a bit different from the other dragons. Perhaps its traits as a caretaker have something to do with its typing.
Venomoth cannot have three types.

>caring about tiers

my avalugg will fuck your shit sideways

>>27625539
The black and red dendretic streaks on Mega Lucario are made by the aura that it permeates. Might be a reference to iron in blood.

>>27625889
>>27626498
Fairy fits a "deceiver pokemon" and they had two gens before that to retype it into Dark or Ghost. But they didn't, so fuck it. Another possible reason it fits Fairy is that despite being pure steel in some parts its lightweight.

>>27624569
Sunlight melts icebergs far more easily than metal.

>>27624479
I think it's based off of monks and shit having flesh as strong as steel.

>>27624575
It's too great a coincidence that the new type that wrecks dragons and fighting types leave the popular ones untouched

Alright so where does Greninja fit into the marketing conspiracy? It's all over the place and it's weak to Fairy.
>but Protean
Your starter doesn't exactly come with the HA, you know. Also how about Mewtwo? Mega Mewtwo X is weak to Fairy. Explain that.

Also do you really think for one Pokemon and one Mega they would make a whole type resist Fairy? Is one Pokemon and one Mega really "too great of a coincidence"? Get your head out of your marketing-Pokemon victim complex ridden ass.
