Okay, think of a type that is not Rock.Ready?That type now has a Stealth Rock variant in S&M, complete with additional effect where applies (Fire burns, Ice freezes etc)
How will it affect the meta?
>water
Positivelybut not very much
>>26283918
>grass
no
NO
>>26283918
Ice's freeze would be immensely over-powered. Even if you made it only work after getting a second set of them up.
>>26283918
>Poison
Isn't Toxic kind of the same thing?
>>26283918
Steel.
I think Articuno and Delibird die on switch-in if both Stealth Rock and Land Mines are up.
>ghost
Not much.
>>26283918
>Fairy
The meta is completely fucked.
>>26284017
>implying flying types affected by land mines
>>26284017
Why would either of those Pokemon take half HP in damage from Steel-type Stealth Rock?
>I think
No, you don't.
>>26283918
>Dragon
Well shit, that could either be burns or paralyses
>>26284135
You could throw back to DragonRage and do flat damage.
>>26283918
>stealth ice
>fucking flying types even more
i'd hope that it would be something that either one or both resist like fighting or bug.
fighting would be cool as it would do good damage to steel and rock types on the switch who already don't really fear entry hazards respectively and nothing would change with bug type. could call it caltrops or something although that is more of a steel type thing i suppose.
>>26283918
>Fire
i'd rather a ghost type twilight zone sort of thing, but it would be cooler if it was just a trick room style thing which made ghost moves do double damage and 1x dam on normal types
imagine building a team around hex, wow, toxic spikes and venoshock.
could be cool as an entry hazard but better for it would be a flame wall that only burns on entry when three are laid down and just does fire damage otherwise
>normal
I have no legitimate idea. Stealth fur?
>>26284325
sneaky hairs
>>26284352
covert cheveaux
>>26283918
Toxic spikes is already a thing
>>26283974
I thought grass too! How about tall grass. Can be used twice. Once increases teams evasion by one stage, twice greatly increases teams evasion! GG
>Furtive Fists
>>26284325
Covers the field in soft fuzz, causes foe to instantly fall asleep upon switching in.
Or does that sound more like a fairy move?
>>26283918
Fire would be terrible.
It would absolutely ruin physical attackers, who already have problems due to the prevalance of Intimidate, Will-o-Wisp and other burn/stall tactics.
So, I guess to answer that: if fire-type entry hazards were added, physical attackers would be removed from the meta for the most part, which would lead to the dominance of special attackers, which would lead to Blissey being the shit.
All hail Blissey, the new Pokemon overlord.
>>26283918
>Ground
Sneaky sand, lowers opponent's accuracy on switching in
>Stealth Shock
Deals electric damage, chance of paralysis if you lay a second layer
>>26283918
Uhh
Poison.
Toxic Spikes already exists
>>26284719
But this is a spikes that can hit flying Pokemon. So it still serves some purpose.
>Fairy
Type based damage up to 20% and Infatuation on switch in
>>26283918
>Shadow
Every Pokémon is weak to it.
Electric. Magnetic Field lowers the SpA of any mon that enters the field by one stage, and boosts the SpA and Spe of any mon with Plus or Minus by two stages. If Magnetic Flux is used while this is up, it inverts the effect on the user's side of the field (i.e. everything gets a SpA/Spe boost, but Plus/Minus mons are fucked.)
>>26284674
This would get the Smoron ban hammer right away
>>26285097
Oh, and you're allowed to use it on your side of the field too, just to add an extra layer of *FUN*.
>>26284696
Honestly a Shock Trap is what they shouldve put in instead of SR to hit flying types that were immune to Spikes.
but then >ground types
>Gliscor
So Thin Ice would be ideal. Fuck Garchomp, fuck Gliscor. Every grass type ever would be 300% fucked though, but just think about it.
>Leech Seed Leafeon
>Thin Ice Glaceon
>>26283918
>Normal
Only deals 12.5% of health as damage but has a chance to paralyze, burn, or freeze.
>>26284270
>instant burn
>meta without physical attackers
>rise of the Blissey
>???
It will do... something. I don't know. Nobody does.
> Bug
I don't even
