Steel got a complete overhaul, so its less dumb now than before to fight steels since they don't resist everything in the world now.

Fairy resisting Ice or Electric would've broke them. They have an immunity and 3 resistances (One to the most common offensive type in the game). Even if say, the bug(why do they resist this anyway? Bug has problems as is) or dark weakness was swapped out for either Ice or Electric, that would've made them far too brutal to deal with overall.

Flipping off 3 major typing's would make them bar none the best type in the game to be.

Azumarill would destroy civilizations if that happened

well I mean resist elec/ice instead of..bug/dark? (I am not even sure of their resistances)

And I am fully Convinced the steel nerfs were purely because of Bronzong being a massive pain in the arse.

It is. Dragon/Fighting/Dark/Bug are their resists. They die to Poison/Steel and also fail at denting Fire.

Dragon/Fighting/Ice/Elec would be even worse in terms of Brokenness <_<


Bronzong had his weaknesses, mainly lack of reliable recovery. There were more annoying steel types to deal with *shakes fist at Jirachi*. It was just in general Steel resisted too much, and they wanted Fairy's to die to Steel, but that would be way too much resists.

That and Fariy being strong against Dark meant Dark needed to gain something in return. Poor Dark, it still got the ass end of the bargain this gen.

Also with the introduction of Faries, There is not a single pokemon that has no weaknesses anymore.
:'( Spiritomb and Sableye(even if you have prankster you little bastid)

eh I would have it just be Immune to dragon, resist ice/elec and have no interaction with fighting (if I were trying to alter the meta game) along with the same weaknesses.

Also I say steel nerfs were purely because of Bronzong because that SOB could negate one of the 2 super effective hits he would take.

I have got a lot of shinies by doing fucking nothing, I believe there is an increased chance to find one in the new safari zone.

I got Clefairy and Dunsparce, so I'm very happy with it.

No joke, three of mine were completely by accident haha. Not I'm addicted since one was a Charmeleon. I'm trying to find a shiny Ivysaur now.

In the past 13 Years, ever since I started playing Pokemon, I have only ever encountered two shiny Pokemon, and they were both in X & Y where it's much easier to encounter them, and were both literally 10 Minutes between them.

What were the two Pokemon?

Fletchling & Remoraid.

Hey, "Smogonbird" is a good pokemon.

Unless it doesn't have gale wings, then you indeed found crap.
