If the Physical/Special Split never happened, what would the

>>32062243
gengar would be shit
weavile would be shit
alakazam would regain the elemental punches

Game freak makes fairy attacks Physical.

megas wise
charizard x would run special instead of physical
beedrill would run sludge bomb but would lose knock off
pidgeot would be shit
ampharos and sceptile would run outrage

>>32062256
>gengar would be shit

yeah it's not like gengar wasn't one of the best mons in gen 3 or anything

>>32062355
OP said current meta you shitter

>>32062243
That's a big vulva

>>32062368
so you're gonna tell me one of the top 5 used mons in gen 3 is suddenly no physical move weavile-tier trash one gen later despite no system changes

>>32062537
illustrate me then
what is a genger going to do in the current meta without stab

>>32062370
Elemental Punches, Psychic, Dark Pulse, judging by the fact that all Eevees have been Special types we can assume Fairy would be Special in this hypothetical meta thus it'd run Dazzling Gleam, Focus Miss, Energy Ball, and still Perishtrapping as a Mega.

>>32062593

>>32062893 was meant for you

>>32062893
>Mega

Opinion discarded. Besides, the only reason it's relevant in this meta is that ghost and poison shit all over everything, especially Tapus. Focus miss/energy ball/gleam and bolt is shit coverage in this meta and more Pokemon can pull off the fast special attacker role with some or all of that generic ass coverage better.

>>32062893
>Split don't happened
>Focus Miss

>>32062941
>Opinion discarded
It's not an opinion you fucking retard. It's a fact that a fast Shadow Tag mon with Perish Song will be good.

>>32063762
>Banned in VGC
>Banned in OU

I mean, it won't be allowed in any relevant format, so it's still basically worthless.

As for the opinion part, yes, I was wrong for wording it like that, apologies. However, Gengar is still shit unless you're playing battle spot.

>>32063616
Oh yeah. Never mind that one then.

>>32062941
>Opinion discarded
Fuck off.

>>32063781
Gengar is awesome

>>32062319
>stabs are special
>they still give it tough claws

>>32062893
>Elemental Punches, Psychic
Starmie pulls that combo even better with tbolt/ice beam
try again piece of shit

>>32067706
The moves would still make contact.

>>32067764
Outrage yes , but fire blitz would not exist

>>32067775
>fire blitz would not exist
???

>>32067859
No split means that fire blitz is unnecessary

>>32067706
they still get the boost because despite being special, they make contact

Kinda like grass knot on mega metagrooss

>>32067875
Why not?
OP said spilt on current meta, I don't see "remove x move" anywhere

>>32062355
Claydol, fore and pert were top tier OU back then, just to give you an idea.
Sub-punch was probably amongst the best gengar set.

>>32067875
First, >>32067896

Second, flare blitz doesn't have an exact special counterpart

>>32067914
It was created as a strong physical Fire-type move though. If Fire-type remained special, we'd still be using Fire Blast.

>>32067914
Also despite being special based now, it still makes contact like >>32067886 said
