Always bothered me that the rock/grounds are weak to ground, when most of them dig or drill through the Earth. I guess because earthquakes can crack rocks? That doesn't explain the ground/steels though.

What if it you tickled it and it instinctively rolled over and then you were smashed, so your pokemon voluntarily escape from their pokeballs to try and free you but no one on your team was capable of it so you eventually get crushed to death, and then snorlax gets arrested for manslaughter, but the local officer jenny's jail isn't big enough to contain snorlax so she becomes a stripper to try and raise money to build a bigger jail

It would be great if Steelix dropped Rock Head for something like Thermal Exchange, but I think I'd rather give it Earth Eater.

>The iron it ingested with the soil it swallowed transformed its body and made it harder than diamonds.

Give some Steelix the ability Heatproof as an HA, at this point there's no reason why Pokemon can't have different HAs, it could even be a trait depending on the region of origin.

In fact, many inconsistencies could be resolved with HA, such as Vikavolt's speed or Machamp's punches.

I love Gigalith’s design, and it would’ve been so cool if it were a special attacking Rock-type, since that’s so unique. But they made it yet another slow bulky physical attacking Rock-type, as if we don’t have enough already.

It has multiple Dex entries clearly describing Solar Beam (which it can only learn by TM), but also one saying that fissures develop in its body when it fires off its full power.

+30 SpAtk and Solar Power would be enough to get the idea across, and wouldn't be too crazy as a retcon compared to what's been done before. Maybe Steel Beam?

I always thought that was lame. I imagine the idea was that the low speed represents the extra weight of the Charjabug it's carrying around for more power.
>If it carries a Charjabug to use as a spare battery, a flying Vikavolt can rapidly fire high-powered beams of electricity.
But of course, it doesn't actually carry any Charjabug ingame.

No? The last move it learns is Agility. It's a Gradius reference so it has to power up first.
