>>11949458I wasn't saying it needed speed, I was saying quite the opposite in fact, I was saying that magcargo was built as a wall and would be more useful if that was built on
I think you can make a pokemon weak to every type in the game, and give it stats to compensate.
this would have some proof if magcargo had shuckle-tier defense, and he'd also be a lot more balanced than shuckle with his type
however, I don't have a time machine, so I can't go back and swap shuckle and magcargo's stats.
changing magcargo's type would fuck some things up, so it's best left untouched
magcargo is one of very few lost causes in pokemon, and nobody will ever use him for a reason other than irony
