It's more the weight of most pokemon seem really low. There's no way Registeel shouldn't weigh at least a ton, but he's 450 lbs.

Do yourself a favor and just ignore all Pokedex size and weights, most of the media already does. Almost none of them make any sense unless the majority of Pokemon are tiny and/or hollow. That or the made of depleted uranium like Larvitar.

But thinking about it I think it would have to be ice/rock. ice is so bad.

Six weaknesses, but two of them are 4x.

Well what's the absolute worst type pairing with the most weaknesses and least resistances?

Grass/Bug has 6 weaknesses, 2 4x, and only 5 resistances.

Grass/Ice has 7 Weaknesses, 1 4X, and 4 resistances.

Take your pick there.

There's too many disgusting flavored shinies or those that just look a slightly different shade than what they were. I hope Nintendo goes through and sweeps those up and removes all the gross-looking green or purple alternate colors that don't look that great and make almost every Shiny actually worth looking for.

Yes please. I randomly found a shiny Growlithe yesterday. I mean come on. :crossarms:

Ice/steel is also gonna be pretty dreadful with its double 4x weaknesses. Making Alolan Sandshrew a defensive pokemon with that typing is dooming it from the start.

VVV Same reason they make defensive rock types

I don't know what that reason is other than "rock move slow" but it results in poo poo pokemon

They had a chance to balance the type chart when they introduced Fairy and all they did was remove Steel's resistances to Dark and Ghost.

So according to them, the type chart is fine and needs no more changes. At least until Gen 10.

My personal balance gripe is that fairy resists bug. There's no reason for that it should be the other way around! :mad:

Z-Crystals are linked to specific Z-Moves in the Pokémon series for Nintendo 3DS Family Systems: Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.
Each Z-Crystal activates different lights, sounds and vibrations on the Pokémon Z-Ring.
The type based attack icon associated with each Z-Crystal is revealed when inserted into the Z-Ring.
Includes all 9 Z-Crystals: Grapple, Fight and Thunder; Steel, Stone and Poison; Ghost, Insect and Evil

20 dollars for nine of the Z-crystals, 3 come with the toy, I guess about another two packs would get you the whole set for 63ish dollars. Also lol the typings

Grass is actually a really good type. It's weaknesses are balanced out by its strong resists, immunity to powders, and good offensive strengths.

Okay, I'm stumped. How the hell do you get Uxie to show up in the Nameless Cave? I have the other two and I've followed every thing I've found online regarding making Uxie appear such as visiting between 20:00-21:00 and having three Pokémon with you who have max affection. But it's been almost a month of visiting near daily and he still won't show up. Him and Palkia/Dialga (whichever) are the last legendaries I need in OR so I can start an AS game.

The thing about Grass is that its Water, Electric, and Ground resistances are fantastic, whereas most of its several weaknesses are not very strong types. Four of the five are weak to Stealth Rock and you almost never see STAB Ice. The other bad weakness is Flying, but no one ever uses Flying moves without STAB, so it's easy to see coming.

Hello as there is no Pokemon Z I am replaying X with a new team building method: if I want to use a pokemon I dump it in a box named "team" and rotate all the ones I have on hand around so that they're evenly levelled. It works pretty well! Anyway I have about 12 or so team pokemon now and would like to inform you that yes, exp share is absolutely absurdly broken because with it turned on they're still all outlevelling everything.
