How do you fix the most broken defensive type in the game without introducing a new type?

Removing the Poison immunity would be a reasonable nerf and also make Poison attacks more viable as coverage moves.
>>
Remove fairies and Steel becomes what it used to be, just without ghost or dark resistance.

There, I fixed your metagame.
>>
>>33479146
Thanks, now my five-dragons-and-a-chansey team is viable again.
>>
Dude, steel is the only thing that's keeping the game balanced
>>
>>33479158
Just because it keeps dragons and fairies in check doesn't mean it isn't busted itself.

Why does a type need 400 resistances and an immunity? Slapping steel on almost any type makes it instantly better and a potential wall.

>gen 8 introduces a busted as fuck fairy type box legend
>like Xerneas but on a diet of nothing but steroids
>meta is in shambles
>GF quickly introduces a bunch of power creep steel types & poison types so the game becomes playable again, including a poison/steel mythical
>adds a few busted-as-fuck steel & poison moves as well
>fairy becomes a bottom tier type, just above ice
>steel and poison take their rightful places as king and queen of the meta
I can hardly wait

Poison is SE against Bug
Bug resists Psychic
Steel loses the Psychic resist

Everything make sense + buffs poison and psychic while steel is nerfed. Bug is just as bad as it was before.
>>
>>33479137
Make Dragons and Psychic types deal neutral damage.

Problem solved.
>>
>>33479318
When Steel go introduced I thought Psychic would be super-effective against it because of the "bending spoons with your mind" shit. I mean there is even a Pokemon based on it.

Obviously it wouldn't have made sense at the time because Steel/Dark was supposed to nerf Psychic but nowadays that resistance is unnecessary.
>>
>>33479338
Steels aren't made out of steel, anon. I guess some spoons might be, but I feel comfortable saying that 99% of spoons are not steel.
>>
>>33479361
Spoons* aren't made out of steel. Fuck.
>>
>>33479361
I know, keep in mind when Gen 2 came out. I was a dumb kid back then.
>>
>>33479369
Also there are definitely some spoons made out of stainless steel. It's not that rare but whatever, you get the point.
>>
>>33479206
It's at least less busted than Dragon type was, so I'd say GF is at least taking steps in the right direction.
>>
>>33479157
Outrage is nerfed to 90 BP along with its varients. Good?
>>
>>33479298
>poison ever being good

Stop hurting me, anon

>>33479137
>broken type
>not fairy
>>33479298
>fairy ever being not broken
You tease me, Anon.
>>
>>33480812
It's more broken than Fairy. We aren't in early XY meta anymore
>>
>>33479298
Steel is already the king of the meta, anon.
>>
>>33480812
nice bait
>>
It Steel really all that OP?
Sure it's a really powerful defensive typing.... but...
>Fighting weakness
>Earthquake weakness
>Fire weakness

Much like Fairy type's problem is that nothing learns Poison and Steel TM moves...
Steel's main splashable weakness moves are physical (fighting/earthquake)....

That being said, there's plenty of splashable 80+ BP special ground and fire moves to go around.

I'm not seeing the brokenness (unlike Fairy which could be solved if they let everything learn those poison and/or Steel TMs like how everything learns Earthquake).
>>
>>33480879
Steel is only as amazing as it is because fairies are dominating the meta. Just because steel beats fairy 1v1 doesn't mean steel is the best type.
>>
>>33480947
>make steel even better by improving its offensive move spread

Epic
>>
>>33480959
Steel has always been the best type in the game though. Expect for maybe like gen 2 only because it just didn't have many.
>>
You're retarded OP. Having 10 resistances and 1 immunity is completely fair and balanced.

When the fairies take over, you'll be begging for our help again in no time.

>>33479137
Remove the Fairy type SE and resist against Fighting.Make Fire SE against Fairy and give fire type mons Energy Ball and/or Thunderbolt.

Change Magnet Pull so it's also a levitate+trap and give Magnezone +10 speed and Heat Wave.Some of Magneton's dex entries imply it should get this move >It is actually three Magnemite linked by magnetism. It generates powerful radio waves that raise temperatures by 3.6 degrees F within a 3,300-foot radius.

Gee, I wonder who could be behind this post...

>>33481145
A whole bunch of electric types could have Heatwave if we go by design/description
