>>46860453>Fairy no longer immune to dragon, resistOnly if Ice also resists Dragon (like it should've in the first place)
>Fairy no longer resists Bug, Bug and Grass resist FairyWhy? Fairy would then be resisted by 5 types. Even as someone who loathes the type with a passion, even going so far to as never have used a Fairy type since it was introduced, these nerfs are way too much.
>Fairy is weak to FireSure. That would be a good change, since Fairy can cover all 3 of its weaknesses with Ground.
>Water is weak to PoisonShould've happened, along with Ice resisting Dragon, instead of adding Fairy.
>Spikes deletedFuck no. Spikes are super hard to get out and maintain. Unlike Hidden Boulders, they aren't on every Pokemon, and 1 layer of Spikes is equal to neutral Stealth Rock damage.
>Stealth rocks is now a ground type hazardNo. What should happen, instead, is that ONLY Rock types can learn it. No Steel types, no Ground types, no Normal types. Rock is the only type that learns them, and it also either gets Sneaky Pebble immunity or resists itself so it takes half damage from Inconspicuous Igneous.
>Scald now has a 10% chance to burnI'd rather just lower the base power of Scald to 70 and revert Surf back to 95, that way only defensive Water types would want to run Scald over the more consistent Surf.
>Ice resists Water and DragonIce should resist Water, at the cost of being weak to Scald. It should also only resist Dragon so long Fairy is no longer immune to it. I think, more logically, you'd want it to resist Flying and Water. Birds notoriously head south for the Winter because they dislike cold, so Ice should resist Flying, which is a really strong type nowadays.
>Rock resist itselfGood
>Neutral to GroundNo. It should resist Ghost, though (gravestones).
