@@hamdepaf6686 exactly, thats the spirit

Same, I've been playing pokemon for over 10 years, even competitively sometimes, and I was surprised to see how many resistances fire had

It's probably because of how strong/common It's weaknesses are.

Poison be like: Am I a joke to you?

There's a few issues that make Fire not actually that great of a type defensively, despite its number of resistances. - A few of its resisted types are usually paired with another type that Fire is weak to. For example, most Steel types run a Ground move as coverage, so Fire fears them anyway. - All of its weaknesses are very significant, with Earth and Water being two of the most common offensive types, and Rock weakness resulting in large Stealth Rock damage. - Most fire Pokemon tend to have Glass Cannon stat spreads and movepools, so you rarely see fire types used defensively. - Fire doesn't pair too well with other types defensively, always leaving around important weaknesses. For the few types that do match nicely to a point, they're actually extremely uncommon pairs, one of them actually didn't exist until gen 9 (Fire/Grass with Scovillain) Looking quickly at the list of fire types, I can recognize these pokemon that have been good defensively: Incineroar, Heatran, Primal Groudon. Incineroar is good thanks to Intimidate and good defensive stats, but still has important weaknesses. Heatran is the one typically used in stall teams since it has a huge lot of resistances and its weaknesses are covered by other typical stall Pokemons, but being able to land an Earthquake on it still shuts it down instantly. Primal Groudon is a special case since the pair has only two weaknesses, one of them being double weak to Water, but its ability nullifies that huge weakness. For all of these cases, they don't have any recovery move, and value their offensive side. Without support from their allies (leech seed, Defog, etc.), you can easily wear them down over time and eventually take them down.

@@DaikoruArtwin Defog is pretty trash in VGC tho.

Yeah look at Zygarde Complete. It literally needs zero coverage move, because Thousand Arrows neuter Flying's advantage over Ground, and good Bug and Grass Pokemon typically have secondary typing that is weak to Ground, meaning Thousand Arrows alone hit almost the entire metagame with neutral damage, and hit a lot of great type for super effective damage

It’s unfortunate that psychic and normal got destroyed so badly for having been broken in gen 1. Hell, I’m guilty of still seeing psychic as the ultimate type because of the trauma of amnesia Mewtwo.

@hoanganphanle4584 Power creep on a 20yo franchise has to end up looking like that if they want to keep upping the hype with each release, though. It is what it is. Got many issues myself with the franchise and their owners more specifically, but not this one.

@@hoanganphanle Not my boi Shedinja, he's immune to that nonsense

And Dragon is still paying for Gen 5's Draco Meteor spam sins. Not only did it get nerfed but fairy types completely neutered it.

For garchomp specifically, it also turns his 4x weakness into a resistance, which is pretty nice to say the least

yeah XD

It’s only gonna get better when fairy gets a nerf one day too

Dark and Ghost are like the new Dragon haha and what Normal wishes it was.

Getting amazing? In gen 5 it was absolutely dominant and it's the reason why fairy got made other than to counteract dragons

@@M.W.2 We all know the real reason fairy was made was to add ANOTHER resistance to bug, because you know bug is simply so powerful it needed another type to wall it.

At a glacier's pace, you might say.

It's always been a great offensive type, defense however..

@@yamiookami nIce

Well, ice types' greatest buff is that they don't have to be ice types anymore...

Thematically, ice should have been resistant to normal and flying (as rock and steel) since day one. Water and dragon could also be discussed.

Isn't that 12 resistances and 1 immunity?

@@eef99yy it resisted ghost and dark from gen 2-5 and then lost those resistences in gen 6 but gained a resistence to fairy in gen 6

I think it's still broken. They need to take away two more resistances, at least.

@@Seetiyan honestly taking away a grass resistance both makes sense and would be fair.

And it was with 17 types. Steel had resistences/immunities of 70% of the types. Steel is so good defensively that honestly, being a duo type steel is often worse than a solo type steel (often, not always).

Yeah, imagine other such moves: - A Fire move so hot, it's super effective against Water because it literally makes water evaporate. - A Grass or Bug move that involves sharp thorns/mandibles, severely hurting anything that tries to eat them - super effective against Flying - A Poison move that is actually not toxic but rather corrosive, becoming super effective against Rock, or maybe even Steel. The list could go on and on, you can imagine.

@@asmodeus58XX I don't think all of this would be a good idea, but I love the poison one. In order to make poison more viable/interesting as a type I think it would be awesome if they gave it a bunch of moves with some weird and wacky effects, rather than its entire type being so linked to the poison effect. Maybe an acid rain weather condition, or a status condition that decreases stats. Poison could become a really decent support type.

​@@mattparnall4148acid rain, decreases the def and SP.def of steel types by 50%, there you go lol

It's the poster child for a tera blast user

@@omnomnom504Glimmora:

@@MorrisPXG I'm not sure what you're saying. Think of it as if you are a video game designer. Pokemon is mostly for kids and there are new players with every generation. Cyclizar is normal for the same reason the starter type Pokemon like Rattata and Pidgey are normal. They are tutorial mons with default attributes for the player to learn the game with. Cyclizar isn't amazing but he has STAB with Terra blast and is good with literally every Terra type. That's the point. It's a new player's first Terra blast user. You train up the cool dragon mon and it works in almost every situation with normal type moves and you don't have to worry about the details. I remember my Charizard in my Pokemon Red game I played as a kid had such bad moves his only good move was seismic toss. Pokemon is not a game you need to min max to enjoy. I didn't have flamethrower, but I still beat the elite 4!

Kinda, but the fairy resistance and offensive presence it gained in exchange is only getting better with each new game

@@GKoopa Not right now though. Like the only times it truly comes in useful is against Flutter Mane, Valiant, and maaaaybee Slyveon but we'd be stretching it a bit. A lot of Fairies were cut this gen

i realized this in my heartgold nuzlocke. HOW was this allowed

I'd hate to imagine a universe where Steel didn't get nerfed by the time Aegislash came into existence. That'd be terrifying.

Same

Ye

great b-reel and no terrible youtuber humor while still conveying personality

Same

Ever since he got this new editor, his videos have all been amazing

I think it's very obvious at this point that Gamefreak /wants/ bug to be a bad type. They like using it as a type for when they want to make things intentionally worse. For example, early gym leaders, early pokemon, and strong attacks (see: Quiver Dance, First Impression, U-Turn). They probably won't change it because it makes designing things easier for them.

Personally, I'm campaigning for improvements to ice. Specifically, resisting Water & Fairy, as well as losing the steel weakness. Reason: Bug has really good type combos (Electric & Steel), and can use those attacks for more consistent damage. Ice on the other hand is just a Nerf to a pokemon, and basically only exists as a move type, not a pokemon type.

@@simonteesdale9752 Your first idea with Water and Fairy i'm completely on board with, but your second take is awful imo. Steel only hits 3 types for Super effective with a lot of common things resisting it, so you basically are just adding more pain to an already mid offensive type. Like you wouldn't even be nerfing steel, just a handful of pokemon for no reason.

@@i_like_chomp6382 Fair enough. My issue with Steel is that in addition to being an insane defensive type, it's also a decent offensive one. (Mainly thanks to hitting fairy). In my opinion, steel should be one of the worst offensive types in order to compensate for it's defensive capabilities.

@@simonteesdale9752 it already is. It's like a notch above Bug, Grass, and Poison. You don't need to compensate for anything, it's not like steel types are going to mow over your entire team, they won't. The only pokemon that run steel type moves are steel types themselves and they don't even have good moves to begin with (Iron Head and Flash Cannon aren't powerful enough) In fact the reason Fairy was created was to not only balance Dragon but to buff Steel and Poison offensivley as well. Steel doesn't need any nerf as of right now, it's not a problem. It's already weak to the three most common offensive types, that's what fundementally keeps it balanced and fair. Litterally every single offensive pokemon with access to Fire, Ground, and Fighting attacks will run them. That's part of the reason why even though on paper Steel is better defensivley than Fairy, it feels much harder to break through Fairies than it would Steels as they're weak to rarer attacks.

I'd argue that having Bug and Psychic resist Fairy would go a long way towards making the balance a tiny bit better.

@@Arcananine77 I agree on Psychic too. It's weird that we've reached the point where Psychic needs a buff.

I don't see why Psychic should resist Fairy. They should be immune to having their moves disabled.

@@EnriqueLaberintico interesting suggestion! I also had an interesting discussion once where I said Psychic types should be immune to confusion because of their steady mental constitution, but my friend said their reliance on mental power means confusion is actually extra risky for them. Idk what the right answer is, I can see both sides.

@@BrianStorm742 bugs can't get dizzy, so it goes to them instead.

Doesn't only one evolution line have access to that move?

@@dayandere2669 Yep, just the Nacli line, who are pure Rock types, but seem pretty good (at least in singles, which is what I play primarily)

OH I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE IT WAS LIKE CURSE.

Garganacl is pretty much Regirock as a non-legendary, but he certainly is on another power level.

Every other type: "Haha, fairies! Steel so op you lose your top spot!" Tinkaton: "Haha, Tinkaton _smash!"_

true

I’ve been playing Gen 1 lately on my old gameboy, and as a huge fan of psychic types, it was amazing having my favorite type actually feel strong and powerful. I completely agree with your comment. I’d honestly even say they should make psychic deal super effective damage to steel because of that idea, I think it would be fun, but I’m not a game designer and don’t know how that would play out

Mewtwo with a Spoon:a little spoonful

being rresistant to ghost and dark was so stupidly broken, and it didn't even made sense lol. I was playing sacred gold yesterday and when I pulled out spiritomb against a Steelix I remembered it and got obliterated.

Yeah but that's about it. Imagine if other types get the pseudo treatment 600 BST. Most would probably break OU and goes to Uber especially if it's ghost or fairy.

The same reasoning could also be reasonably applied to Psychic, which would "force" Steel and Dark types to be present unless you wanted to do the Psychic mirror match. And yet Psychic is one of the underpowered types atm

Steel and fairy would be in every team without dragons though , both are great types

He already uploaded a video with and ice team.

@@Aahir. oh he did nice

Also Wolfey already took a Cetitan team to rank #1

Ice wasn't good in Gen 1 either lol. It's just Normal, Psychic, Ground, Water and then everyone else. People would apparently much rather use Snorlax Base 65 Special Blizzard than Articunos Base 125 Special STAB Blizzard. Although to be fair they weren't aasss bad so I guess it kinda was their best Generation in a way lol.

only reason ice is good is since they can get the defensiive abilities of steel. lol

It's also interesting because I remember reading somewhere that in gen 1 flying was created specifically to be a secondary type which is why there were no pure flying types until gen 5.

He is judging the types in a vacuum, so even though most os dragon types are really good, the dragon type itself isn't as good. The same logic applies to normal type.

Flying is still carried by the secondary types and the flying types he mentioned are only as good as it's SECONDARY types can take them.

90% of the Flying type pokemon are Flying/Normal though, which adds very little to differentiate from pure Flying.

@@Dr.J42 If we are only considering monotype pokemon than Flying is probably the second best type you can be below Pure Fairy. It has the meta defining Ground immunity with an incredible resistence to fighting. All it really needs to worry about is Stab Electric type moves seeing as though Ice and Electric coverage is generally rare and coveted for, and Rock/Ice types are rare as a whole. From an offensive standpoint Flying is incredible, resisted by the already stated rare Rock types, Electric types which are usually frail. That leaves Steel types as Flying's biggest check but that's extremely managable. Being a Flying type means you already offer something of value, it's why Skarmory and Corviknight are incredible. They're immune to EQ and are not weak to fighting. Some of the best type combinations and pokemon have Flying in them: Electric/Flying - Zapdos, Thunderus Fire/Flying - Charizard, Moltres, Talonflame Ground/Flying- Landorus, Glisgor Steel/Flying - Skarmory, Corviknight Dark/Flying - Yveltal Fairy/Flying - Togekiss All meta defining mons from recent who mostly all have been dexited. Sorry if I'm ranting lol it's just that I really don't understand this Flying type slander lol.

"As a fire type main" What does that even mean?

@@paulsmith9786 It must mean they're a fire type gym leader...

These are some great suggestions; the only thing I'd add is having Psychic resist Fairy and be super effective against it.

@@Arcananine77 Wtf that doesn't even make sense. Psychic being super effective against steel would make more sense than it being super effective against Fairy. Make it make sense.

@@nathanieljohnson5908 fr. Steel bending with mind.

@@nathanieljohnson5908 Way I see it, Fairies are all about whimsy and mischief, which Psychics would be uninterested in because they're too cerebral. "I don't believe in fairies!" if you will.

@@Arcananine77 I feel like the mischief part is more dark types. But fairy to some degree. I would say that makes sense, but since it's pokemon we are talking about, where fairies are very clearly real, I don't think it makes sense

I feel like that aspect matters way less this generation because fire types usually tera to get rid of those problems similar to how ice types got bumped up as a type this generation for that very reason

Thing is , steel is the best type and normal type can't safely switch into anything, they do have some good moves though

Rock already resists fire

I think cuz ice cant harm water in any way and in a mortal battle the ones that get damaged is the ice, idk thats my logic xd

Poison should resist and hit water super effectively. Yeah water can dilute poison but still, it’d be a small nerf to water but a massive buff to poison

hell yeah

It's less of a buff, more of a "tera gimmick lets them ignore their downside". They'll be worse again in the next game.

@@MrCheeze hail buffed them too. They’ll still be B tier next game

@@MrCheeze While Ice definitely benefits the most from Terastallization, the Snow buff will presumably still persist, so while the type rankings will change next gen, Ice is undoubtedly better than it used to be.

"At least we're carried by enough Pokemon to make a full team." Meanwhile Bug:

@@EnriqueLaberintico Drapion (not a Bug-type but evolves from one), Scolipede, Heracross, Pinsir, Vikavolt, Orbeetle, Rabsca, Scizor, Kleavor, Lokix, Centiscorch, Volcarona, etc.

Tbh I'm pretty sure you could knock out two resistances out of their chart and Steel would still be a good defensive typing.

Tbh I don't think Steel needs to resist psychic anymore. Dark and Steel were introduced partially to nerf psychic due to how dominant it was in Gen 1, but the type has just been getting worse and worse with each generation. Gen 1 benefited psychic the most due to mechanics (Special being one stat), bugs (Psychic being immune to ghost), and limited movepools (the only types it was weak to were Bug and Ghost neither of which had strong offensive moves to use) as well as the fact that the only ghost type in the game was weak to psychic and every bug type other than scyther and pinsir (who didn't even learn any bug type attacks) had horrendous stats. Now psychic as a type is actually really bad, nothing about the type itself is scary or useful, I've never looked at a pokemon and thought it would be better if it had psychic as a secondary type, or been worried about dealing with an offensive psychic type on the enemy team. Any psychic pokemon that happens to be strong isn't strong because of its type, it's strong because of its stats/ability/movepool.
