>>53608834Game Freak's retarded impulsive obligation to give almost every Rock-type Pokémon imaginable dumbass stat spreads. Rampardos having a higher Speed stat will not fuck the meta in any way especially considering Ghouldengo being everywhere and resisting Rock.
And Rock is in a fucked predicament:
- all the moves having sub-100% accuracy barring a select few like Rock Throw
- special attackers having only three options (Ancient Power, Power Gem, & Meteor Beam) with some like Aurorus not having Power Gem (seriously, wtf)
- poorly synergizing with almost every other typing resulting in most combos with it having a double-weakness thanks to its weaknesses being common (like Ground, Water, & Fighting)
- every fucker out there having Close Combat and Earthquake (even in a playthrough there will be some fuck shitting out a Brick Break)
People complain about Ice but Rock is in a worse state. At least Snow increases the Defense of Ice-type Pokémon and it makes Blizzard 100% accurate so that every Pokémon with Snow Warning can have a spammable 100% accurate 110 BP STAB that hits both targets from the get-go without having to use Snowscape to set up Snow. Also Aurora Veil. What does Rock have? Special Defense increase in Sandstorm and that's it?
