>>14606660Fire has the second highest number of resistances in the game yet is infamous for being a bad defensive typing. Grass on the other hand can work well defensively despite having so many weaknesses. Have you ever thought about why that is?

>>14606764That's nice and all but factoring in all of the things I've mentioned (excessive vulnerability to hazards and weaknesses to common types), it still comes together to make a bad defender. Defenders need to be able to switches in frequently and take hits and if you're putting a ton of effort just so that the thing won't die then it's not doing a good job. A couple of Spikes Layers or some Rocks down and Flareon switching into any of those means it lost over half of its fucking life. That is bad.
