>>32667512>what was it originally? Normal?fucking rock, all of those dex entries justify its rock typing
I'm not going to defend the entire Fighting type but Cranidos/Rampardos' shtick is their rock-solid skulls, not their propensity for fighting each other. Heracross is based on a bug that fights with its head, but it was restructured into a vaguely man-shaped bug that fights with its arms (you think stag/hercules beetles have those big balloon hands that mega heracross has?)
having a tendency to fight doesn't make something a fighting type, the whole franchise is monsters fighting each other with whatever viable apparatus they have on their bodies. Rampardos' isn't a skilled use of skull, it's the toughness thereof
