and why is it steel?
>>
t. a fairy type
>>
without steel to blanket check most types, you'd lose at team preview half the time
>>
>>32092506
Fairy fucked the meta up, made steel retarded strong.
>>
Nothing bad with good offense, if steel types had worse coverage and more status they would be just tanks instead of powerhouses
>>
>>32092500
Steel is the only thing keeping it relatively healthy (and to some extent, Dark).

Fairy is way the fuck too overpowered. Especially now more than ever, where Gamefreak just pulled out a huge Fairy cock and shoved 4 extremely powerful, dual typed, terrain inducing Fairies straight into the metagame.
>>
>>32092537
>>32092559
The only reason GF let it get this out of hand is because Steel types exist to begin with.
>>
>>32092569
Steel is only offensively used because Fairies presence permeates the meta so much. Steel would never be used offensively if not for that, just like it wasn't ever used Gens 2-5.

Hell, half the time even Steel types themselves wouldn't even use their own STAB if they had a secondary type. No Lucario or Skarmory sets ran Steel attacks prior.

Fairy is the problem. Fairy single-handedly weakened Fighting as a type to where its a detriment now. Otherwise, if Steel was like you say, Fighting would be seen more.
>>
>>32092600
Yes, Gen 6 added Fairy which made Steel a powerhouse. Steel is now the best type in the game.
>>
>>32092629
Now?It was the best since gen2
>>
Steel is only good because of Tapus.
>>
>>32092677
>megagross
>celesteela
>skarmory
>only good coz tapus
>>
Still think psychic should be normal or super effective against steel since psychics bend spoons and such for training. It would also give psychic a 3rd type to be super effective against.
>>
>>32092708
Do you want Tapu Lele to destroy the meta?
>>
I vote fairy
>>
>>32092745
I was more hoping for some love for alakazam.
>>
>>32092708
A Light type would be better for that job.
>>
>>32092763
Alakazam is getting suspected in UU and mega Zam is solid OU so I don't know what the fuck you're on about
>>
>>32092797
>this again.
Also, water is worst type.
>>
>>32092500

Fairy/Ground type when

>Give it a weakness to one of the best types in the game, steel
>Meanwhile Bug can get fucked
>>
>>32092883
just GF things
>>
Ah, nice thread. I can't wait for bugfags to complain yet again about a non issue.
>>
>>32092883
>>32092895
>GF wanted to nerf Dragon and buff Steel
>rather than make Dragon weak to Steel, they create an entire new type
>new type exclusively appeals to girls and furries
???
>>
>>32092922
>wants to nerf dragon
>forgets ice exists
>create an entire new type
>new type exclusively appeals to girls and furries
???
>>
>>32092941
Ice will always be shit, live with it
>>
>>32092946
im trying
it gets harder to resist suicide everyday
>>
>>32092941
Ice is fucking fine. GF just needs to stop making them defensive
>>
>>32092745
Just remove bug resistance from fairy
>>
>>32093060
And also make ice resist ground, psychic SE on steel, poison SE on water
>>
honestly, if they wanted to fix type disparities they should've just made ice resist dragon and water and made steel supereffective against dragon

but that's not convoluted enough so boom, fairies everywhere
>>
>>32092543
Fairy type forced Steel to get neutral damage from stuff like Shadow Sneak and Sucker Punch I guess
>>
>>32092500
It covers too much defensively. Fairy type being added didnt help.

Steel needs another weakness. It's fucking cancerous right now.
>>
>>32093105
you're dumb as shit
>>
t. poisonfag.

>>32092506
fairy doesn't get fucked over by steel as poison does.
>>
>>32093113
Fairy LITERALLY made Poison usable, even if Steel rapes the shit out of it.

Implying Mega Metagross isn't by far and away the most cancerous Pokemon in the game right now, with Celesteela second, Lele, Fini, Koko third fourth and fifth.

>>32093116
poison is still usable. its a nice counter to t spikes and can wall off toxic fags.
steel is better than poison at what poison was made to do- toxic stalling. this is why poison fags don't like steel.

anyway, yes, celesteela always fuck my shit up, more than m-metagross. the topus are annoying but not that bad.
>>
>>32093116
megagross isn't even that cancerous, it gets walled hard by literally any other steel type that isn't weak to EQ and most bulky waters
it can't afford to run setup moves since its coverage is mediocre enough as it is
it has no recovery
getting burned takes him out of the game
it can't come in on knock off or shadow ball spam since steel got nerfed

it has gargantuan stats and shits on all fairies bar koko and scald fini, that's it
that's all he does
>>
>>32093141
>only counters are other cancerous steel mons and will-o-wisp if the mon doesnt die before getting it off
>>
>>32093146
he also said 'bulky water' and 'scald'.
>>
>>32093146
>ughhh I have to run a dark type to deal with gengar? wtf
>>
>>32093151
>scald fini

>>32093153
whoosh
>>
>>32093155
SHITS ON ALL FAIRIES BAR SCALD FINI

you dipshit
>>
>>32093157
>>32093151 said scald
i said he said scald fini

r e t a r d
>>
>>32093155
any scald user actually. fini is a scald user that happens to be a fairy.
>>
>>32093168
every water type learns scald, you fucking surplus of chromosomes
>>
L I T E R A L L Y

calling a 30% burn chance a reliable counter

i would concede if you could get more than 3 off by the time megagross kos whatever it is
>>
>>32093173
he literally can't come in on scald because getting burned means he's dead weight for the rest of the game

>>
>>32093182
he can fuck off after the tapus and le healthy lion of meta fuck off
>>
>>32093168
yeah, he didn't porpusly say 'any water scald' but scald is burn move, in addition to wow.

>>32093173

>>32092500
I problem with steel is that it complements alot of types well, flying bug fairy and it doesnt help gamefreak is especially cranking out these mons constantly giving them megas,, great stats and useful move pools it doesnt help that fire isnt a very common type most pokemon can learn
>>
>>32092500
Because it has 10 resistances, can't be poisoned and is now a good offensive type thanks to fairy
>>
>>32093202
can it 2hko it? because if not, wailord can just restall. and even if it can, rocky helmet hurts.
>>
>people complaining about le meteor man of predictable offense when the zards exist

>>32093194
252 Atk Tough Claws Metagross-Mega Thunder Punch vs. 128 HP / 252+ Def Wailord: 264-312 (51.4 - 60.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
It doesn't even need Thunder Punch.
>>
>>32093268
>It does need Thunder Punch.
I fucked up and mixed up what I wanted to say.
252 Atk Tough Claws Metagross-Mega Zen Headbutt vs. 128 HP / 252+ Def Wailord: 211-249 (41.1 - 48.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

>>32093202
t. sub-1500 elo shitter

people absolutely run tpunch on mega meta. not on every set, but it's not uncommon by any means.
>>
>>32093278
>rest
>rocky helm
>pressure
yes it does need.

>>32093268
well, at least the rocky helm can do some damage.
first turn rest, second turn sleep talk and hope. third turn will die by t punch before act.
>>
>>32093211
There's like 3 types not made objectively better by being part steel and even then those are debatable.
>>
>>32093310
thingken of rock/steel
>>
>>32093310
reasons not to get 2nd typing steel:
1.already have 2 types
2. have access to moves of another type and wants stab
3. doesn't have offensive steel type moves

i like steel types cuz they fuck hyper offense.
