@TILFURTHRNOT1CE Flying has few resistances. Types without much in the way of resistances or immunities get kind of busted when you give them spammable moves without much downside (ghost dark fairy)

@ValToadstool 'why does every good flying move have drawbacks' because part of flying's identity is that its a really strong attacking type with bad attacks to keep it in check. same with rock

@Rockandrowl1 @MelvinProphete @TomCafeConLeche In actual competitive singles? Yeah but like the rock/ground duo was kind of designed as such. Im talking about it from a game design perspective more than that

@72Person @TomCafeConLeche steel resists ghost and dark pre gen 6, steel/psychic is a phenomenal typing cause it negates all of psychic's weaknesses. Crunch off base 75 special attack is probably doing a third to metagross at best while one meteor mash is tearing thru absol's paper mache defenses.

@rankomon And almost all of the pre gen 4 fighting moves are either relatively underpowered but consistent or have extremely high base power at some kind of cost (focus punch, dynamicpunch, hi/jump kick, superpower)

@rankomon Something I never see anyone mention about old gen balance is how fighting is a very specialist, risk reward type (at least until they made close combat). Its specialized to take down the "defensive" types as well as the otherwise neutral normal

A lot of people are saying "Psychic types disprove this" when you gotta remember...you're right. They realized it too. And they introduced Dark and Steel the very next gen. Notice how they're both weak to Fighting, a very underperforming type!
ruru🌙@rankomon

STAB moves that actually synergize with the best attacking stat used to be rare on purpose back in the day. It was self balancing in way that the maximum damage a 'mon could do was limited. Damage multipliers nowadays make everyone very easily 1-2 shot with boosted stab moves

@72Person @TomCafeConLeche Its pretty good in game though. Badge boosts in gen 3 patch up the speed and bulk issues and it gets swords dance by level up

@72Person @TomCafeConLeche Absol would not have been good (competitively) in gen 3 even if dark was physical its too slow and too frail to do anything even if its base attack is great even by modern standards

@MelvinProphete @TomCafeConLeche gen 1 also has rhydon and golem as the premier physical walls and kingler is the strongest swords dance user in gen 1. Kinda falls apart with steel being introduced 3 years later but Kingler is a very well made mon in its original context

@PokemonGems Extremely strong special attacker with all the coverage and utility it could ever want + 3 immunities balanced by the fact that it couldnt use its stab types effectively is a lot cooler than Guy Who Presses Shadow Ball And Wisp

@PoopingIRL Its not the fun answer compared to blaming every societal ill on the CIA but like no these insects coevolved with the wild ancestors of our domestic crops and proliferate because we incidentally breed out resistance and then make monocrop fields of the plant they eat

@PoopingIRL No this is just conspiracy slop lol. Tomato hornworms are a sphinx moth who's larvae are generalist feeders on Solanaceae (tomato, tobacco, potato, pepper family). They "decimate" tomatoes bc we bred all the nasty tasting defensive phytochemicals out of them + plant them in rows

@MHFZZEnjoyer I think it would be really funny if the second monster to be freed from frontier jail was unknown flying nonbinarythalos

Ra Ro (also known as Unknown Black Flying wyvern) is a Monster From the Spin Off Monster Hunter Frontier. A now officially shut down proper MMO MH. Though you can play it through private servers Ra Ro is a Case of convergent Evolution. A monster that looks like a rath but isn’t

@MHFZZEnjoyer Who is Ra Ro? I'm familiar with monster hunter but not all of the monsters so a new monster to learn about is kinda exciting

@thepancakington @FordonUbell @Plasma_Legion yeah but you catch all the pokemon that evolve in the 50s at high 30s thru 40s in the context of the game they originate in lol? It sucks for later games where they give you them way too early on but they work fine in BW lol
