Pokemon that represents the SUN weak to fire. Wow.

>>
Please tell me there is more to its ability, like removing its Fire weakness...
>>
>>26566971
Well, better type competitively. Fire is weak to fucking everything, water and rock are used by everyone.
Still, they did choose some strange types for these legendaries.
Also, why the fuck do they need to be psychic? Ghost and Steel would have been better.

What if it's a man-made thing

You need oxygen for fire. Do you think the sun has fucking oxygen?
>>
>>26566971
Light in Pokemon always seemed to be more related to steel than to fire.
See Flash Cannon for example. I think there are more light-based attacks that are Fairy, Psychic or Steel type than light-based Fire attacks.
>>
>>26567776
The sun produces a lot of oxygen though.

Spaceships are made of metals.

>>26567716
Which is funny, because its ability decreases that weakness. Oh, what typing was your sun legendary? Psychic/steel? Get recked by moongiest beam. Good day to be a moon bro. "I am vengence, I am the night, I am Lunna!"
>>
>>26567776
The sun doesn't need oxygen. Not everything needs oxygen. Just look at insects, they don't need to breathe.

Idk just trying to rationalize this.

Why are you fucks sperging over Solgaleo's typing and no Lunala?

Solgaleo's typing while unusal is at least pretty solid (although poor on the offensive side), Lunala is so shitty I predict it will drop to OU on day 1.
>>
>>26567716
4x weak to ghost AND dark

How do you fuck up a legendary this bad holy shit

Solgaleo should have been fire/electric and Lunaala should have been dark/fairy. Bullshit.

Lol, I predict that Lunna will rock OU on day one. Not so good typing wise, but a multiscale like ability, with an attack that has a moldbreaker like effect. Yeah, we know it hurts sun idiot, let it out.
>>
>>26568141
It reflects light, I assume.

Though I always thought it was a japanese cultural thing, something about associating certain things with each other. Kinda like why Lucario is steel because aura is steel or something.

>>26568607
Steel/Psychic took a hit with the nerf but it's still relatively viable and has a solid set of resistances. Mega Metagross is doing good, so is Jirachi.

Meanwhile Psychic/Ghost is Ice/Rock tier of bad. Just look where Hoopa-C is right now to see how it actually plays out.

Because crits now do 1.5 times damage, as opposed to 2X.
>>
>>26568141
Metallic unions in atoms form very reflective, metallic, material, because of the constant release and travel of delocalized electrons throughout the material; these make metals be very sensible to electricity, conducting it with ease, and also very reflective. Could it be that Steel special attacks are based on this, in one way or another, the concentration of electronic/photonic metallic energy?

Wow look at that. Not all the Sinnoh legends are weak to themselves. It's crazy how that happened, it's like I already said that. It's like I just said that pretty much all of them were weak to themselves. Its almost like I didn't say all of them were weak to themselves. It's wild how words work, right? It's crazy how letters strung together have certain meanings that you can understand if you read them. Its weird how that works.

I don't see anything wrong though

It's normal that a devourer isn't necessarily the same element or better yet weak

Darkness wants to swallow light, but that's because they are weak to light

Segeleo wants to devour the sun to gain it's power, doesn't mean he's the same type, that's just what he does

Darkness/shadows in Pokemon have always been associated more with the Ghost-type than the Dark-type, which is more about cheap fighting tactics.

The main thing that the sun and fire have in common is hydrogen and helium

The sun is a nuclear fusion of the two that doesn't require oxygen, while fire is a chemical reaction between the two that needs oxygen.

So the sun isn't literally a ball of fire, but is it really different enough that anyone should give a shit?

On one side the debate you have legitimately uneducated people, and on the other side you have overly literal autists
