Who else thinks rock types need a recover equivalent?
It's supposed to be a tank type but it's more of a hindrance than an advantage to have one in your team due to how little they last in battle.
Pic related would do a ton more with such a move.

i think every bulky pokemon should get recover
if there's a pokemon with low HP and good defenses it should have a high HP stat
if there's a pokemon with high HP and low defenses it should have higher defenses
and they should all get better abilities too like regenerator or something that covers their weaknesses like water absorb hippowdon

Regirock's Pokedex entry talks about Regirock gathering rocks to repair its body so something to that effect should work.

It'd be nice for these guys to get some recovery.

If Rock types got an equivalent of Recover it would be absolutely retarded. If they got Regenerator it would be even worse.

What would work is a Rock type version of Aqua Ring.

The only thing they need flavour wise is to absorb stealth pebbles. Kill yourself.

How about that? Rock pokemon just moves stealth rock to opponent side?

Quoted By:

Rock types are pretty ass. Can't be good offensively due to stone miss. Can't be good defensively due to no recovery and weaknesses to common physical AND special attacking moves. Weak to EQ, weak to CC, weak to Scald. Not immune to any type or any status. They are pretty much only useful to stop certain birds and TTar is the only Rock type you ever need.

The point of a tank is to take a lot of hits and shrug them off. Clerics are for healing.

>the shitty meta that literally everyone who plays it bitches about is the most important part of the game

The story in a game made for children is shit? Who the fuck knew? It's still better than the competitive bullshit that everyone who plays it constantly whines about.

Not in pokemon, here viable tanks also have recovery.

If tank pokemon shouldn't have good recovery, then explain:
Porygon 2
Milotic
Reuniclus
Jellicent
Avalugg
Quagsire
Dragonite
Scizor
Mandibuzz
Braviary
Hydreigon (It learns Roost)
Volcarona
Altaria
Togekiss
Slowbro
Hippowdon
Venusaur
Chestnaught
Torterra
Arcanine

That's not even counting legends like Zapdos and Celebi.

All of them have either Recover, Slack Off, Roost, Synthesis, or Morning Sun. All can and should be played like tanks. Are you saying roost is a mistake? Are you saying Porygon 2 having tanky stats and Recover is a mistake?

If you seriously think this, you are a moron, and you have no fucking idea how this game works. If a tank can't recover, it's going to need some other shit to compensate (Tyranitar and its weather setting, for example), otherwise you're stuck with a pokemon like Nidoqueen, one that's too slow to sweep, and even though it's bulky, lacks the longevity to properly work as a tank or a wall. You take a lot of damage on switch-ins and hazards. It adds up. There's a reason why Nidoqueen is forever UU.

More bulk than Talonflame, commonly used with 252 Hp 252 Atk Adamant with Roost: A TANK.

Better bulk than all the Rotoms, even, just with worse typing than Water-Rotom.
