Kind of like this.

Wouldn't help bug types though. There are very few fully evolved pure bugs, so all it would benefit is bug buzz on accelgor, and x scissor on pinsir (unless you want to attack with illumise/volbeat)

What does adaptability do then?

>>31212279
Still increases STAB by 33%

>>31210307
But it won't be proud of its power though

Would this give people a reason to use regular Groudon in Ubers over P-don? pseudo-adaptability precipice blades sounds crazy strong but it might not be worth it to give up weather wars

Every Monotype in PU moves up to NU

>>31210211
Offensive single type pokemon are good again.

The split ruined them as having a dual STAB is much more important than resists.

If Gamefreak has any sense they'll rework Protean completely so it's not utter bullshit, like working only once per battle, or working only with status move.

In what universe do you nerf Gale Wings let continue to allow Greninja to be the best Ice type in the game that isn't an Ice type.

>>31212590
You're dumb.

AG becomes more popular as a result of 5000% restricted pokemon pool increase
monotypes move up a few tiers
meta becomes fun for the first few weeks before people crunch out the most optimal team builds again

>>31210211
Well let's put it this way. Normally it's 1.5 so a 90 BP move will do 135 BP damage with STAB.

This means if your opponent resists your STAB (Not double resists), your coverage moves need to have at least 70 BP or more, or else your STAB would just do more damage. (Because 70 x 2= 140)

i.e. if Milotic attacks Swanna with Surf, it will do less damage than Ice Beam, despite the STAB.

STAB being x 2 means that Surf does base 180 damage. Which means that your coverage moves have to have a BP of more than 90 to even matter.

A Surf from a Milotic would do the same amount of damage against an opposing Swanna as would an Ice Beam by that same Milotic.

Running coverage moves would still matter, but suddenly things that rely on Aerial Ace, or whatever, for coverage are better off not even wasting the moveslot.
