Fellow Steel trainers, we must accept the possibility that Gen VII has royally fucked us.

Let's see what Pokemon are confirmed Steel type:
>Magearna
It's a fucking mythic, fag if you use it.
>Solgaleo
It's a fucking box legend, fag if you use it.
>Togedemaru
Pikachu clone with dog shit typing, the only reason Magnezone functions is Magnet Pull and HP Fire.
>Coldsteel (Sandslash)
ABSOLUTE WORST TYPING POSSIBLE FOR A STEEL TYPE.

Pokemon that still could be Steel type:
>Anchor thing
Let's be real here, this thing looks kinda silly. And I'm not just saying that because it's an inanimate object.
>Wimpod Evolution
This one is a long shot, but some devoted anon(s) are shitposting about it a lot so whatever.

What are your thoughts?

HAHAHA STEELFAGS BTFO

BUGFAGS AND FAIRYFAGS WIN THIS GEN

>ice/steel absolute worst typing
so only 3 weaknesses is bad now, right? i guess pokemon like tyranitar and talonflame must be terrible due to many weaknesses lmao
>>
>>29318748
Wimpod won't be steel, and the Anchor looks cool imo. I'll stick with my bro scizor.
>>
This gen will test your metal to see of you want to stick with the series.

I personally don't mind. I love Alolan Sandslash.
>>
>>29318775
Two 4x weaknesses to common types is always bad. But I still think Rock/Steel takes the cake.
>>
>>29318775
Two of those are x4, it's guaranteed to be slow as piss, and it's almost guaranteed to have the same BST as Sandslash. It's going to suck, anon.
>>
>>29318775
>3 common weakness, potentially low stats while already being a slow ice type, mediocre ability, and the potential having a lack of good moves. This thing has more problems then just it's type
>>
>>29318748
Magearna will be godly in the VCG,the anchor and wimpod evo might not be steel type,we dont know how good solgaleo is(might be the next hot uber) and we also dont know the type of the UBs,all other points are fair though,im a steel-fan 2 but im more positive

It's going to be a slow defensive ice type, it's fucked

>>29318762
Why can't we just be friends?
>>29318778
I know anon, but I can't help but hope. Good on you though, Scizor is my favorite.

It sadly wouldn't even do well in inverse battles, because

What about the urchin looking thing?
There's a possibility its Poison/Steel with Ferrothorn-ish stats.
>>
Fuck off. Us ground trainers got fucked harder.

NOT A SINGLE NEW GROUND TYPE.
>>
>>29319329
wish they saved that combo for a levitate pokemon
>>
Really hope the anchor is steel, but it's probably ghost/water.

In terms of design however, I fucking love magearna.

I really, really doubt it.

>>29319419
I think I'd rather have that than watch my favorite type get shit on like this.

>>29319576
Magearna has an amazing design, but fuck them for making it a mythic.
>>
>>29318748
Seriously dude? Anchor is great. Be happy with it, please.
>>
"wahh muh steel--"

What about FUCKING POISONIGGAS BRO
>Salandit
>Worst fucking typing combo for Poison

>maybe Spider thing but there's more evidence of it being Bug/Water

>Sea Urchin thing might be Water/Poison
>Just a defensive shit with Iron Barbs and/or Poison Point

Fuck off. The anchor is shit.

>>29319817
At least Salandit will probably be semi-useful in battle and you still have hope in the urchin thing. Steel is fucked.

>gets hit by Mud Bomb
>dies

Can't most Steel types learn Ground-type moves like Earthquake? Salandit/Waifulit are going to get BLOWN awy before they can do anything to Steelosers.

Three of the most prominent steel types (Scizor, Skarmory, and Ferrothorn) can't do shit to it.
>>
>>29319900
>Fire type

Does it even matter? Why would steel types want to switch in?
>>
This fairyfag is very very very pleased.
>>
>>29320014

But we don't even know its stats either-- What if it's an NU shitmon? Whose going to use it to check Scizor/Ferro?

Can't make assumptions-- If you do, I can easily make assumptions too and say it'll be bad.
>>
>>29320067
I'm not saying it WILL be good anon, only that it has a better chance of being good than garbage like Toge-fucking-demaru or COLDSTEEL.
>>
>>29320107

Fighting and Fire aren't as common coverage as GROUND my dude.

And it must be nice having more than 1 confirmed option for Steel types at least. Salandit or bust right now for me
>>
>>29320014
>keeping Ferrothorn or Scizor in against a fire type
Arena Trap is an ability, not a permanent feature
>>
>>29319419
you fucking dumbass
>>
>>29318813
Bug/Grass and Rock/Ice are FAR worse
>>
>not counting alola forms or UB at best we get 1 dark type
>or blazekein gets a new brother
>>
>>29320300
I'm talking purely about Steel with another type.
>>
>>29318830
see bringing up low stats is a good reason why it will suck. saying it will suck just because of its type is terrible.
>>
>>29318867
it not being weak to stealth rocks + rapid spin most likely means it won't be complete shit unlike a certain table
>>
>>29318748
Well, there's still 30 Pokémon with an unconfirmed type. So I'm still optimistic.

And on the plus side, lots of the cool Steel types are appearing in the regional dex this gen.
