Someone: my fave legendary pokemon is Celebi cause it can time travel!

Another person: I think Arcticuno is the best because it's the coolest legendary bird!

Me, a Rayquaza fan: hehe big sky snake

3 days ago it was like 80 degrees and then yesterday it was below freezing and snowing. Not sure if it’s climate change, or if an Arcticuno and Moltres are having a cat fight above my neighborhood.

ughhhhh i just hope it’s not another hoenn situation. we’ve GOT to stop enabling legendary pokémon to wage elemental wars

this is somewhat academic, because pokemon go raid bosses are frequently dual type and always have off-type charge moves, and raid attackers vary in power and are also often dual type and the types can cover each other's weaknesses. sometimes the best attacker isn't the obvious type. nevertheless…

types by what is both super effective against and resistant to them:

grass: bug, fire, flying, poison, ice+grass rock: fighting, ground, steel, water+ground, grass+steel fighting: fairy, psychic, flying fire: rock, water, ground+(dragon/fire/rock/water) steel: fire, fighting+(steel/fire), ground+(steel/water) ground: grass, water+flying, ice+flying bug: fire, flying dark: fairy, fighting fairy: poison, steel flying: electric, rock ice: fire, steel, fighting+fire poison: ground, psychic+steel water: grass, electric+dragon dragon: fairy, dragon+fairy electric: ground ghost: dark psychic: dark normal: fighting (well, close enough)

note: ground+(steel/water) in the steel entry, for example, indicates that ground isn't resistant to steel, but a ground-move excadrill or mega swampert is, and is thus at least equally as good as mono fire. in this case fire+steel heatran is even better but at that point look at a chart with your actual situation in mind.

the reverse table is arguably the more interesting one, though:

corollary: types by what they're both super effective against and resistant to:

fire: bug, grass, ice, steel ground: electric*, poison, rock, (steel if +water/steel), (fire if +dragon/fire/rock/water) fighting: normal*, dark, rock, (steel if +steel/fire, ice if +fire) flying: bug, fighting, grass fairy: dragon*, dark, fighting steel: fairy, ice, rock poison: fairy, grass rock: fire, flying dark: ghost*, psychic* grass: ground, water, (rock if +steel) psychic: fighting, (poison if +steel) water: fire (ground if +flying, rock if +ground) electric: flying, (water if +dragon) bug: grass ice: --- (ground if +flying, grass if +grass) ghost: --- dragon: --- (dragon if dragon+fairy) normal: ---

*the only strong option, in a sense

notably, ghost is always worse than dark, dragon is always worse than fairy (dragon+steel dialgia only helps a little), and ice is always worse than another attacker type because it has zero resistances. also bug is pretty useless but that was well-established already.

it is more complicated in practice but this does bring the utility of certain raid attackers into question. I can't think of a scenario where giratina could possibly be the best choice, for example, much as I love it. both ice megas would only be interesting if boosting many mamoswine or arcticuno. pure dragon pokemon like haxorus also don't seem to have any use at all (dragon+useful secondary type is still relevant for fighting dragons in practice since fairy is just okay and its only worthwhile mega is gardevoir.)

and, possibly more importantly, certain dual type pokemon are much more useful as one type than the other. for example, psychic-move mega gardevoir is completely unnecessary (against fighting you could use its fairy moveset; it is weak to poison so you would use a ground type or metagross there instead). dragon-move garchomp seems mostly pointless since the things it resists better than mega charizard x/palkia/zekrom are also the things you would use ground on. dragon-move latios/latias don't really have a niche if you have other dragons. mega heracross is better off fighting, and mega scizor is better off steel, unless you run out of other grass counters somehow. (meanwhile, mega gyarados is relevant on dark, psychic, fire, and ground raids if you have both movesets, which is way more than I expected.)

this is also relevant when considering powering up/tming a primal or instead using those resources elsewhere (as neither makes any difference when you're just putting the primal in the 6th slot for the passive boost). roughly, then, the types one would actually consider battling with the primal itself against would be:

groudon: electric, poison, rock, fire, steel rayquaza: bug, fighting, grass, dragon kyogre: fire, ground… maybe rock (but groudon and ground types are better so not so likely)

Mahina, I work at a library too! I'm not sure if you've answered these before, but what's YOUR favorite book? Do you prefer fic or non fic? How do you feel about audio books? (from @radducklett)

Oh, I've answered my favorite book before, but it changes all the time, so I don't mind! Another one I've read is Arctic Wings--it's a "based on a true story" journey novel about a boy determined to meet Arcticuno after it saved him from a blizzard, and how he becomes entangled with all three of Kanto's legendary birds!

I tend to enjoy either, if there's a good story! Though I have fiction genres I prefer over others.

Audiobooks are great for people without time! We're working on getting a good online collection going here. I'll always prefer the page, but I think it's good people can get to hear stories even when they're not in their leisure time!

why are delibird and arcticuno the only ice/flying types

Now all we really need is an item called ‘Tactical Vest’ that gives a 50% boost to difference but allows the use of only status moves. They literally have the blue print with the Assault Best.

Unless this is a matter of balance around the fact that there’s more ways to nerf physical attacks and physical attackers than there are ways to nerf special attacks and special attackers.

What I’m saying is the ROM hackers are right and that ‘Scare’ should exist as Intimidate’s special counterpart.

And we should, in fact, replace FRZ with FROSTBITE. And then maybe make a will-o-wisp equivalent like… ‘chilling glare’ and then rename Galar!Arcticuno’s signature move to something like ‘icy gaze’… or maybe name the move icy gaze idk. What’s the first thing that comes to mind when instachill is mentioned? FLASH FREEZE! Yes. ‘flash freeze’.

And then maybe with those balance changes you could give BRN more move interaction beyond Hex and Sparkling Aria.

And maybe it’s finally time to give us all those type combinations that haven’t been done yet? Fairy/Ground? Ground/Normal? Normal/Steel (yes that one robot from Pokestar Studios but I mean COME ON)? A non-mega Dragon/Fairy? Bug/Dragon (hello flygon)?

Which segues into maybe type-adding OR STAB-giving abilities? Ever thought a pokemon should have three types (FLYGON)? Why not Ground/Dragon with some ability called like… ‘chitin’ that adds the bug type? Or why not give Salazzle that sweet sweet dragon type?

And how about some more balancing changes, huh? Make water and poison be super effective against each other! Give bug more resistances cause bugs are actually quite resilient! Bring back pursuit or give steel its ghost resistance or do both! Give Zamazenta the ACTUAL defensive typing and take away Zacian’s fairy STAB! And you KNOW [almost] all those dual-type mythicals with psychic should have been given Fairy

And other choice thoughts. Thank you.

#pokemon #kind of a long post #it’s a rant about the gameplay #specifically battle mechanics #I want more from TPC #the Zacian/Zamazenta thing didn’t make them nuanced; you left one very much wanting #also yes I’ve been playing ROM hacks more than main series how could you tell? #sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh #anyway yeah I was always a gamer first #which is a LIE cause I used to dream up Bakugan fanfiction about Dan and Shun so obviously uhhhhh #anyway yeah please give us a tactical vest item and make frostbite + flash freeze a thing #we’re languishing and the plotting is nasty #+2 Sp.Atk loading from that Porygon-Z and whirlwind/clear smog is the best we’ve got #anyway yes this was all one take please forgive any typos you spot

Had some amazing incense luck today, the only thing not pictured was a G. Arcticuno I also encountered, though you probably know why THAT didn't show here already
