Things to know:
• Normal-type attacks have unresisted coverafe
• Ice-type's only weakness is Ice-type
• Avalugg on every team for that reason
• Normal-type's only weakness is Ghost
• Bug is super effective against half a dozen types

Serebii's inverse type chart says weaknesses and resistances only go *2 and 1/2, no quad calculations.

Can fire types be burned?

no and no. Status immunities and immunities from abilities (flash fire, levitate) still work.

Also fliers are still immune to spikes for whatever reason.

So I know how avalugg is defensive, but what does he do? Ice is a shit attacking type as well, does he toxic stall

pretty much yes

a set that will probably be very popular is

avalugg @ rocky helmet
ability: sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def
Nature: Impish
- Recover
- Toxic
- Roar
- Mirror Coat

his partner in crime is your typical chansey set

What happens to immunities?
Like Normal->Ghost and vice versa
and Ground->Flying and what about Levitate?

immunities from types become super effective
immunities from abilities will still work (so rotom is still immune to EQ even though it would be NFE)

there's also some movesets posted at the end of >>19016548 if anyone's curious about what showdown's inverse ladder ended up looking like

Is rock good coverage in inverse? How about u-turn or knock off?

rock is good against steel, ground, fighting... I think? it's not a great attacking type

bug is good, grass is better, and knock off is great for utility as always, though it doesn't hit ghosts and psychics for much

I kinda want to participate but I don't think I'll be able to come up with a working team until then.

Especially because I could only try it out once a day. God damn GF.
