>>47772550 (OP)Because there needs to be a Hazard to knock Flying types of their pedestal of ground immunity, but Game Freak had to drag Fire/Ice/Bug down for some reason. But as
>>47772792 pointed out, Flying got a Golden Parachute via defog. That's not even getting into shit like Roost and the absolute clusterfuck that was Max Airstream.
>>47773638I agree that standardizing Stealth Rock is the wrong direction. Just make it so that Stealth Rock is less over powering. They should make it so that the damage done by Stealth Rock is reduced by 1/2 for all grounded Pokemon (Fire/Flying takes the normal 50%, Fire/Bug takes 25%, Pure Fire takes 12.5%) Flyers/Levitators being immune to all other hazards makes this fair. It also fits the lore because the Rocks float in the air. Any Pokemon that is still shit even after this has far more problems than Stealth Rock that need to be addressed.
