Water and poison should be super effective towards eachother

>Rock does normal damage against Ghost
What's wrong with this one?

>>58066433
Poison does nothing to water. Those who live within water are the affected, but no water itself. On the other hand, some poisons have chemical properties that can corrode steel and some bugs can tamper some machines too. Steel shouldn't be portrayed as resistant as they claim

>>58066487
Gems and crystals have been used by different cultures to seal or repel spirits

I played since gen 1 but I didn't know until gen 6 that rock resists poison.

>>58066497
>On the other hand, some poisons have chemical properties that can corrode steel
There's an ability that does that, granted there's a lot that could be said about the type chart, be it good or bad

>>58066497
>Those who live within water are the affected
Damn, if only we had a type to assign to water dwelling creatures

>>58066429 (OP)
>Fairy resists Bug instead of being weak to it

>>58066543
There's plenty of art depicting Fairies using Bugs/Frogs as transportation method
The real question is why Fire resists Fairy

>>58066558
Yeah but Fairies are cute and girly and bugs are gross and girls are scared of them
And yeah no idea why Fire resists Fairy, I often think it's the other way around instead

>>58066580
>>58066558
Forest fires since fairies are known to live in forests I guess?

>>58066589
That would make Fire super effective against Fairies
But Fire resists Fairy

>>58066558
It’s because while Fairy is sold as the type of Mythology and the Fae, it’s really glorified Grass 2.0 and represents Nature as a whole.
If it was the former, Fairy should work incredibly well with poisons. Hags and Archfey create incredibly potent poisons and is truthfully their weapon of choice; they should naturally be resistant to that.

>>58066607
Makes sense, kinda
>>58066580
I will say that Fairy type mons try to be a lot of things rather than being connected to a single element
>Fire types are all related to heat
>Water Types are all related to the sea/aquatic life style
>Dark is related to underhanded tactics
>Fairy is related to Fae but also Girly mons but also guardian deities like the Tapus but also related to food but also Grandbull is here I guess
Yeah, it's weird...

>>58066558
>The real question is why Fire resists Fairy
it's so that Mega CHARIZARD wouldn't be weak to the gay new girly type

>>58066533
In that sense Fire-based Pokemon should just kill any Pokemon, even others of their own type because there's no living being that thrive on direct fire. Type effectiveness should consider the properties of the element, not the user's.

Bug is super effective against because of Kamen Rider homage.

>>58066714
That's because bugs proliferate in the dark

>Sunny Day nerfs Water's effectiveness
>doesn't nerf Ice's effectiveness

>>58066543
The entire time I've always believed the dumb fucks did this because 'U-turn is really good lets nerf it with Fairy' without thinking about how the entire type gets fucked by that in the process.

Kuromi anon you better not be banned of /v/.

>>58066990
make a new tdm in trash then

Poison just shouldn't exist as a type. Anything poison does could be thematically covered by Grass or Dark. Ice shouldn't exist either, just make them all Water types.
Honestly Rock and Ground could be absorbed together too.

>>58066990
Not him, just another TDM enthusiast.

SFW > NSFW

>>58066533
Not everything that lives in Water is Water-type tho, so that other anon’s interpretation is more correct than yours

>>58067006
no board allows them, /v/ is like using one of those patches when the container is already leaking

>>58066607
Shouldn’t Fairies be weak to Dark as well? Aren’t there a ton of stories of guile being used to outsmart fairies?

>>58067006
Nice, same for me.

>>58066497
Steel is completely immune to poison because toxic wastes and various chemicals are often stored in metallic containers and you can't poison machines. It would make sense for a special type of poison move to be effective against steel as a concept though.

>>58066558
Been over this many times you are thinking of fairy tales not cute badass creatures that would fuck you up being /16th your size.
Check Grimms tales for more or watch the leprechaun movies.

>>58067071
But those containers degrade over time and need to be replaced. If anything it shows that not even steel is durable enough to withstand poison.

>>58066429 (OP)
>water conducts electricity, so it’s weak to electric
>steel is neutral electric

>>58067191
running a current through a fish kills them, and running a current through water hydrolyzes it into hydrogen and oxygen gas. running a current through metal just moves the current through the metal as far as I'm aware.

>>58067233
You need ions in the water for that to work well. Otherwise pure water sucks for it.

>>58066429 (OP)
Dark should be super effective against everything and OKHO Fairy types.

>>58067427
Kuromi never said this! Ability Imposter.

>>58067233
>running a current through metal just moves the current through the metal as far as I'm aware.
It will generate heat, and depending on the current intensity, it can melt steel.
I think a change in states of matter could be a good standpoint on how type effectiveness should work

>>58066429 (OP)
Fairy should be the cutest and be the only super effective against human males and provoke them Infatuation.
Oh wait... It already is

>>58067675
What if you add water cooling/air cooling to help cool it down? now you have a x6.

bruh

>>58067813
POV- I'm using Minimize in front of them haha...

>>58066630
To be fair to Granbull he was called the Fairy pokemon in the dex and was in the fairy egg group before becoming fairy type

>>58068537
There's a few more mons in the Fairy egg group that aren't fairies themselves like Cherrim and the opposite is true too like Gardevoir being Amorphous/Human-like despite being fairy type
I'm not arguing that all they should/shouldn't be fairy types, just pointing out how, out of all the typing in the game, Fairy is a bit all over the place

>>58066429 (OP)
>lust provoking image

>>58066429 (OP)
Ghost is immune to Normal and Normal is immune to Ghost, but Ghost is immune to Fighting and Fighting ISN'T immune to Ghost

>>58067191
Steel conducts electricity harmlessly. If it actually damaged metallic components you wouldn't be posting here right now.

>>58068790

>Flying is no effective against Steel
steel, is fucking heavy. given flying is also the "air" type (see: gust, hurricane, air cutter, bleakwind storm, aeroblast) it'd be reasonable to think that something it can't easily blow away or weather would be resistant to damage.

>>58066987
too many non-bug type pokemon have access to u-turn in general, it needs the scald treatment. bug needs unique gimmicks to offset its dogshit type relationships, grass looks shit just based on the type chart but it has enough gimmicks going for it to be very useful. ice has also been dramatically improved by the snow rework (though it will probably weaken a bit with tera gone).

fairy and steel (and arguably water) need their own adjustments, though bug being at least neutral to fairy would be nice

>>58068910
I agree, it really makes no damn sense for flying to be effective against steel. Aerial flight would be nonexistent if planes were destroyed everytime during a mild storm.

>>58066580
>fairies are cute and girly
Retarded amerimutt detected

Can you stop talking about TDM on /vp/?

>>58066962
>Ice needs another nerf.
You know what, hell yeah. Fuck those cold assholes. Lets make Dark resist it while we are at it. The dark is naturally cooler than light anyways. I know dark is actually 'evil' type but consider this: Fuck you

>>58066990
I'm not and I never will be

I know what you are

Good excuse to buff Rock-type

>>58068706
I feel like Dark has this issue too. Sometimes it’s like
>it’s dark colored so it’s dark-type

>>58069110
But i like double battles...

>>58068910
Fair enough. I'm a bit worked up because of erosion and oxidation potential of air

>>58070295
Super effective against and resists Ghost.

>>58067191
Water splits into hydrogen and oxygen, and electricity just flows through metal and doesn't break it

>>58072400
NTA but maybe add an Electric Freeze dry-like move for Steel types? Could solve that issue
