>>37610621It's a neat idea, but if they did do this, it would be quite limiting in terms of potential designs. Double STAB is nothing to gloss over. It'd be too easy to play around the double weakness while reaping the benefits of the double STAB, to a point where putting it on even a moderate mon could be dangerous. Double STAB is already an entire ability's worth of boost (quite literally so, with Adaptability as you mentioned). Combining that with having another ability on top of that or a really good movepool would be reaching critical mass, not to mention items and Z-Moves as well. There just wouldn't be any wiggle room when making such a mon. Unless their stats are REALLY downplayed or they have some other big downside (like a bad ability or something), I'd be willing to bet that any double-same-type mons would be Uber or even Anything Goes. Anything fun, like your Adaptability idea, would probably be tippety-top-tier and nothing else. A design that's reasonable for any tiers lower than that would have to be limited to a point where they're functionally the same as a regular mon without the double-same-type but with higher stats.
