How's that? By making Psychic-types more relevant you're making Dark's immunity to it more valuable. It also now has 3 resistances and/or immunities (Psychic, Dark, Ghost) and three weaknesses (Fighting, Bug, Fairy).

>>20742115
Those abilities were already useless on those Pokemon; Lucario would rather get an attack boost switchig into a Dark-type move with Justified, why the fuck would you use a non No Guard Machamp, and Gallade also gets Justified

If they're weak to Steel because metal is cold or whatever retarded bullshit, shouldn't the actual physical fucking manifestation of cold have the same effect?

yes

>Fairy is now both weak to AND resisted by Ice and Psychic
Ice doesn't need to be buffed offensively, only defensively.

>Fighting becomes immune to Flinch unless Focus Punch fails
fighting does not need any boosts, also steadfast would become useless on most pokemon

>Grass gets some other weird quirk to help them stay relevant
giving grass quirks doesn't do shit for them. Needs at least one weakness removed and have only four types resist it at max.

Why does /v/ suck so much at balancing?

Fairy is not even the best type. It's fucking steel.
Make Steel weak to ice, remove its plant resistance and make fairy not resist bug, and fire not resist ice. -> Everything's fixed.

Yes anon, this change would be the one that makes Steadfast useless. Not at all that it's a fucking gutterwater ability and everything that has it gets better options except for Mega Mewtwo X. No, no, this is the change that would make it not at all relevant.

they're weak to steel and poison because society and their steel machines with poison exhaust fumes ruins fairies (we all remember avatar). What really doesn't make sense is why grass doesn't resist fairy since they're clearly in some sort of symbiosis, see florges.

Pretty much the only thing we need.
Also, Ice looses weakness to Rock and now resists Flying, and Fighting's weakness to Fairy is changed to Poison.

What does that have to do with anything? Steadfast is even fucking worse than Guts and No Guard on Machamp there than it is in Singles. Hitmontop and Scyther prefer one of its abilities that are actually good and Lucario and Gallade have Justified. What are you going on about?

The problem with rock isn't offensively, it's defensively. Everyone already carries a rock move, changing this wont make that much of a difference and will actually help Ice types.

Lots of things carying Ice Beam to check water types, most of them not even ice type themselves.

The only thing that would help is if ice was actually resistant to water.
