>>53396082It's weird how rock is clearly typecast as a defensive type, with most rock mons having high defense but low speed and often not very good offensive stats, but the type actually sucks defensively. If it was just an issue of having weakness to common special attacks then at least they could function as dedicated physical walls, but they're also weak to three very common physical attacking types.
>>53396133>>53396133Garganacl only manages to be good thanks to a broken signature move and an ability that's basically two strong abilities rolled into one. Shows how bad rock type is when they have to go to such lengths to make it competitively viable. Imagine if a fairy or ghost type got Purifying Salt and Salt Cure.
