It could work out more.

>>29196800
>Resists Fairy
>Resists rock

There we go.

>>29196800
remove ice, flying, fire, poison and bug types from the game

>>29196824
super effective against fairy too

>>29196824
>nerfing rock

>>29196824
This guy knows whats up

>>29196800
Resist fairy type

>>29196840
Rock should gain a Defense against Electric and Poison desu.

Ice should also resist Water, Dragon and Ground.

This would make Ice and Rock more favorable defensive types.

>>29196951
>Rock should gain a Defense against Poison
What did he mean by this

>>29196986
It's hard to poison a rock, but it's easier than metal.

>>29196951
rock already resists poison...

>>29196951
Rock already resists poison

>>29196986
a resistance to electric and poison types, is what he meant you silly fuck

Buff Ice instead.

>>29197008
>>29197023

Does it? I thought that was always because of Ground types.

>>29197034
I know what he meant, but as others have already pointed out, Rock already has a resistance to Poison. I agree with all of what he's saying but he still needs to memorise some of the less common type matchups

Make it resist and be super effective against Fairy.

Maybe make it resist Fighting too since who the fuck punches trees anyways.

>>29197053
ice is fine
its the slow as fuck defensive spread they keep giving to every single ice type that's the problem

>>29197053
Rock should resist ice, and ice should resist ground and grass

This should be a defensive GEN more resists would change dynamics of power creep.
Add grass resisting fairy and Dragon resisting flying.

>>29197123
It's not really fine when every dual type that gets Ice is worse off than they were beforehand

>>29197123
No, no its not. I don't know how many times I and everyone has to say this, but GF has already proven they're not gonna change there ways when it comes to Ice and Rock. They see them as "poor man's Steel" which is why they constantly insist on making them slow and defensive. Look at Avalugg, look at Aurorus, hell look at Sandslash. They're not gonna change there ways no matter what and living ignorance won't change anything.

That said, I suggests removing its Fighting or Rock weakness and make it resist Water, Flying and Normal. And also buff Hail to raise the Def of Ice types. And also don't pelt Fire and Water types.

>>29196800
Remove its Flying and Poison weakness and make it resist Rock.

>>29197260
Not beforehand, otherwise. I'm fucking tired.

>>29196800
Remove flying type weakness
Make it immune to fairy
Remove Dragon resistance

>>29196800

Remove ice weakness. Now it actually works against water types instead of dying to the Ice Beam every single water type seems to learn.

I kind of want to nerf flying a bit. If only because it's so fucking good offensively and not even bad defensively, even with the rock weakness.

>>29197098
Makes sense for it to resist fairy but be SE against it not really. Then again fairy does need a defensive nerf, probably more than an offensive one since the obly reason why it's considered broken is because a couple of pokémon with insane special get something like 180 BST move with no downside.

On the other hand being weak to two previously irrelevant types is a nice buff for said types, but it's not enough to be balanced.

>literally ruining the ENTIRE POINT OF DRAGON
Dragon is resistant to all 3 starters. That's why it was literally the type reserved for the final boss (before the "oh shit it's your rival" twist)

>>29197366
>>29197366
>180 BST
I think you mean BP, and Hyper Voice is 117 BP. 117 * 1.5 = is 175.5 I think, compared to HJK which is 195, Fire Blast which is 165, STAB Draco Meteor is 210 (105 on the second use; using it beyond the second time is pointless but the second one still hurts like fuck),

>>29196800
Literally just make a grass/fire type.

>>29197055
Ground, too, resists Poison. It's relatively unknown because Brock's Onix always seemed bulky enough to tank Beedrill all day regardless, but the dual resistance helped.

Also, considering GF balances (more or less) the game around doubles first and foremost, I'd say give Grassy Terrain better distribution (an auto-setter would be great), ditto Rototiller (Dugtrio can't learn it for some reason), and buff it to make it give higher boosts if Grassy Terrain is active or something; make a Grass-type equivalent of Surge Surfer, give more Grass mons Solar Power, and make Grass resist Rock, since it actually makes sense flavourwise.

>>29197431
Under-rated reply.

>>29196800
Better Pokemon

>>29196800
It can't

>>29196840
Rock is fine offensively.

>>29197053
hail increases def by 50%

being hit by water attacks raises all their stats

Give it an immunity to water

>>29196800
Where's that gif from? Surely the ashnime isn't this interesting

>>29197053
Ice should be immune to Water, resist Grass and be neutral against Fighting

Most grass Pokémon gain earth power.

Suddenly grass is looking good.

>>29196824
>throw boulder at lettuce
>somehow the lettuce win
resist fighting because punching plants is ineffective.
Also rock should be neutral to water. if it takes a million years to water to defeat a rock, the rock is winning.

>>29198912
Heath Capacity, water should actually be super effective vs ice.

Heath Capacity is one of the most important properties of water dude.

Get rid of Flying weakness and add a resistance to Fairy.

Make it neutral towards Steel and Dragon.

Stop giving so many Water-types Ice Beam.

MAKE IT HAPPEN

>>29198966
Ground and Fire moves. If Fire types can run around happy with Ground and Rock moves and Water types with stuff like Grass Knot or Thunderbolt, so can Grass types.

This has always bothered me

Sunny Day now lasts 8-12 turns rather than 5-8.
That's about all it needs. More moves like Weather Ball which get stronger in sun and AREN'T grass-type would also be handy. Between Solar Beam, Synthesis, Weather Ball, coverage, Grass is pretty reliable.
You could also give more things Solar Power and remove the damage drawback.
Ice and Psychic need more thorough buffs to work.

>>29196800
Immunity to Fairy

Why is grass weak to flying again?

>>29199177
>Kids like fire type so we give them something to be able to more easily solo the game with Charizard
>Masuda favorite type
>lol who the fuck care about grass
Probably something like that

>>29196824
Also get rid of the Flying weakness.

>>29199449
Some bullshit about birds in trees.

>>29199449
Because wings are sharp and can mow the lawn, duh.

Considering real life birds do nothing to trees outside of picking dead twigs, eating nuts and fruits that actually help the trees to spread there seeds and that tropical trees like palm trees pretty much laugh to hurricanes and tsunamis, I have no idea.

Also Poison, plants can grown in radioactive environments and in places filled with garbage.

Everyone is talking about removing Flying Weakness, but they should remove Flying's Grass resistance as well. Flying type needs a nerf anyway.

>>29196800
give it immunity to spores, and make it abundant with healing moves. make it resist based EQ and too common scald. here, problem solved.

>>29200746

>Rock should gain a Defense against Electric and Poison desu.

no. it's already hard as fuck to do poison damage. no need for more.

fairy immunity, because fairy are creatures who protect nature, so they musnt harm it.

Now:
