Not counting Arceus, this is the only Pokemon type that does not have a single Uber.
What would it take for a Rock type to make it into Ubers?
>>32922506
No shit, Sherlock. They haven't made a box legendary Pokémon that is rock type yet.
>>32922506
>rock is not weak to ground
>rock is not weak to steel
wew fixed
Better coverage
>>32922518
This.
>>32922518
They haven't made a poison box legendary either yet you retarded faggot
>>32922518
There aren't any fighting type box legendaries either but there's three in ubers right now.
Give aerodactyl brave bird and head smash
>>32922623
Literally this. With the power of its strongest STABs doubled, Mega Aerodactyl gets fucking banned.
Source: STABmons fucking banned Megadactyl two generations running.
>>32922555
>>32922566
Not him... but the point is a Rock-type cover legendary would be a guaranteed Uber.
>>32922671
Not necessarily, they could always fuck it up entirely like Black Kyurem.
>>32922740
Okay, true but White Kyurem is Ubers, so at least one form of Kyurem made it to Ubers. And they still haven't fucked it up with a cover legendary of the initial pairs.
>>32922671
>>32922740
what about something like this
Rock/Ice
Pressure
120-100-150-100-150-60
Gets no access to recovery moves, icicle crash or power gem
>>32922763
The issue is that I doubt they'd release a pair of Rock-type cover legends like they did with the Kyurems, likely giving themselves only one chance to get it right instead of two. And Rock is a fairly delicate type to get right, like Ice, so something like a Rock/Psychic Solgaleo clone with a Rock-type Sunsteel Strike might not even prove to be too much for OU.
Hell, with the Sand Special Defense bonus, Tyranitar has at an effective BST of at least 659, depending on investment, and it was fine even in the Diamond/Pearl era.Fun fact: Tyranitar was the first Pokemon to actually get a suspect test way back in Gen IV,
before even Garchomp
>>32922793
Garbage. Might struggle to break into NU without a great signature move.
>>32922555
Yeah, Gengar and Lucario are good because of their types
Try again faggot
>>32922506
Sap Sipper/ Water Absorb
High defense to resist fighting
High Attack to OHKO with Accelrock.
What else?
(Or is it too OP already.)
>>32922814
>Garbage. Might struggle to break into NU without a great signature move.
and worst part is, I could totally see GF do something like that
Base it on a mountain so the rock/ice type makes sense, so does making it highly defensive and slow as shit. Slow defensive ice type has been a meme for a while now.
There's no thematic sense for it to get recovery moves or power gem (would get icicle crash most likely though). Only thing they'd do would be to give it a unique ability.
Maybe something like "Mountain's Wrath: Summon sandstorm and hail at the same time"
>>32922506
They don't need to. Literally almost every goddamn Pokemon can learn Rock Slide. That's more than enough.
JUST GIVE ACCELEROCK AND POWER GEM TO MORE THINGS
ALSO ROCK SMASH TO AERODACTYL AND REMOVE DEFEATIST FROM THE GAME
new Compound Eyes counterpart ability STAB Stone Miss / Rock Miss with high attack and speed
>>32922506
Mega diancie being released.
No shit, the speed buff is absolutely MASSIVE for it since it was basically forced to run protect. They buffed diamond storm, it's now +2 defence and to top it off it actually learns power gem now (not that you'd use it over diamond storm).
Otherwise a fast rock/ground type with a reliable and strong rock STAB and a big fat attack stat.
>>32922506
Why doesn't Arceus count?
>>32922901
or if they're unwilling to give power gem to things that don't thematically fit, at least make another special rock move that isn't bloody ancientpower
I'd be okay with a special stone miss, as long as fellers like omastar got it
>>32922908
>new Compound Eyes counterpart ability STAB Stone Miss / Rock Miss
It'd be better to make a new signature move with 100 BP/95 to 100 acc/30% chance to flinch and free up the Ability slot for something even godlier.
>>32922921
Because there's an Arceus of every type, so counting it is like putting a participation prize in your trophy case. You could do it, but it'd only highlight how empty your life is if you have to.
>>32922506
Mega Diancie was great last gen in Ubers
>>32922912
>rock/ground
Rock/Fairy you mean.
Make an offense oriented onix alt evo. Then give that evo a mega.
>>32924347
>offensive onix
how about this
Volcanix
Rock/Fire
35/130/160/30/45/110
Rock Head/Sturdy/(Magma Armor)
Movepool: steelix minus ice fang and aqua tail but with added Flare Blitz and Wild Charge
would that work as a baseline offensive onix evo?
>>32922506
Is diancy not uber?
>>32922793
Is this a suggestion or prediction? I hope neither
>>32925466
a suggestion for a rock type box legend that doesn't even make it to ou
a genuine prediction for a rock/ice box legend given GF's track record with both types
>>32925449
Fuck no.
Diancie is RU, Mega Diancie was OU last gen but got some pretty significant buffs this gen so we'll see what happens when Diancite gets released.
>>32925478
if it happens i will find you and do bad things to you
>>32925482
but WAIT it gets access to 2 boosting movescurse and cosmic power
>>32925496
>>32925532
also a unique move
a signature special rock move with high power to make up for not having power gem
Geoforce
Rock Type
150 power
5 pp
90% accuracy
Effect: User cannot Attack on the next turn.
>>32925573
What will it take for you to stop this madness, Anon?
>>32925580
Gamefreak to realize ice and rock are not defensive types
>>32922740
>>32922763
Scarf Kyurem-B is still Uber's tier doof
>>32928172
it really is not
for it to be ubers it needs a reliable physical STAB
Give it say, icicle crash and maybe earthquake (curiously kyurem is one of the few pokemon that learns earth power but NOT earthquake) and it probably gets banned to ubers
Primal-Solgaleo
Rock/fire
Ability: levitate/intense sun
>>32925573
>90 accuracy
