What would happen if supereffectiveness was cut in half? 2x supereffective would only do 50% more damage and 4x supereffective would only do 100% more damage.

Steal Rocks is now significantly less broken.

Grass types are now viable because they can tank some hits and recover with giga drain.

>4x supereffective would only do 100% more damage
Actually 4x supereffective would be 200% more damage, 1.5 * 2 = 3.
>>
Battles would last longer, for one.

Also, what would happen to crits? 1.25 as much damage? Eh. I guess it could be worse.
>>
Stall would destroy the singles format entirely.

Stall would infect VGC/doubles.

Disregard that, I suck cocks
it would be 125% more damage

stall ruins everything?

Yeah, we could make crits work like back then and with normal multipliers.

So the meta would be crit versus stall and focus energy wouldn't be useless anymore.

I really like this Rowlet, can I save it friend?

>>26415973
>100 turns
You pure innocent soul.

If this happened, matches would likely last 300-400 turns.

A lot of PP stalling.
>>
>>26415963
Of course! It's all yours, my friend! :)
>>
Well, I wait too a revision about that...
But more a x2 limit resistance/weakness !
>>
>>26415963
Why would you even ask? Just save the damn thing.
>>
>>26415741
Some Pokemon would be less jobby, Rhyperior would be a Titan.

I would go one further, make some weaknesses hit harder than others. (i.e. Rock is 1.25x SE against Bug and Grass is now 0.75x damage against it instead of 0.5x. Steel gets hit for 1.25x damage from Fire and Ground instead of 2x and 1.5x from Fighting, etc.)

Thanks :^)

Wow rude

Cut every multiplier in half. Every single one.

Type matchups are 1.5 instead of 2.
STAB is 1.25 instead of 1.5.
All abilities like tough claws have their multipliers slashed.
Defensive ones too.

In conjunction, all self target moves except signature/rare moves on shitmons ala vespiquen or everything with coil. have 8pp. That's recovery and setup moves. Can't just set up indefinitely now.

Spite is a good move to beat stall now.

>wanting Fighting to trump Fire against Steels
>Fighting already tied for having the most types it's SE against

Why?

Because Auradog.
