Why did GF nerf Dragon and Steel?
They're supposed to be the best offensive and defensive types respectively.
Honestly, I don't really give a shit about Dragon, but why nerf Steel? It's not like it was particularly overpowered or anything, it performed its role well as the ultimate defensive type.
The new(at the time) Fairy type being weak against it isn't a good excuse.

Steel is because of Aegislash
Dragon is because of bestest snek
>>26701983
this, and dragon type was a powerhouse since it got an actual movepool
>>26701934
Steel losing its Dark and Ghost resistances was the trade-off for its resistance to and super-effectiveness against Fairy.

Remove fairies, easy

>steel nerf actually benefits aegislash
Ebin.
Steel was nerfed because of Aegislash.

>make a type counter one type
>make two types counter it
>>26701934
Steel is still the best defensive type.
Before, it resisted 11 out of 17 types.
Now, it resists 10 out of 18.
>>26701934
Because new steel types like Aegislash and Mega Metagross would be horribly imabalnced without it.
Dragons are gay lol

If Aegislash existed before Gen 6, its only weaknesses would be Fire and Ground

Hydreigon was too fucking OP.
Ghetsis Hydreigon is a nightmare.
shame i can't fight him now and take him out with one hit.

If Aegislash existed before gen VI, it's currently amazing dual stabs would both be walled by steel alone.
Really the actual problem is that ghost losing a resist wasn't compensated elsewhere.
>>26702191
Fairy should have resisted Ghost instead of Bug
It'd make sense, what with Fairy basically being the closest thing there is to a "Light" type
>>26702206
Fairy shouldn't resist bug, but a different type should have resisted ghost to make dark and ghost less offensively redundant.
>>26702206
Spirits and fae go hand in hand.
