There are actual bugs thag can survive being frozen solid all winter, though.

but a lot of them are you little shit.
>>26779759
I should have said "all Pokemon".
Point is, Charmander isn't MADE out of fire, so why wouldn't Razor Leaf hurt it some?
>>26779787
ice is made of water, why would it hurt water types?
>>26779430
Rocks kill Bugs
>>26779810
you're 70% water too, yet an icicle could easily pierce through your disgusting fat flaps and destroy your internal organs

Ice should resist electric. It's a shitty conductor.
>Ice doesn't resist water
>Ice doesn't resist grass
>Ice doesn't resist electric
>Ice only resists ITSELF
>>26780441
If Ice resisted all that Water/Ice would be top tier.
>remove rock weakness for bug
>swap it with a poison weakness since we use pesticides and poisons to kill bugs more than we use rocks
>make poison SE against water since hazordous chemicals in a local water supply can cause plenty of problems
Is it enough to make poison viable?
>>26780459
Giving lapras and friends two new resistances that aren't just Water and Ice while Fighting and Rock still exist isn't that bad.
Why isn't Poison super effective against Bugs? What kills more bugs than insecticides (except maybe other bugs)?
>>26780509
Poison SE on fighting?
>>26779759
Look closer buddy. See that tongue and those eyes? Geodude may be covered in rock, but he's made out of MEAT.
>>26780545
What? Are you telling me that you don't get rid of a cockroach infestation by throwing rocks everywhere?
>>26780509
honestly poison being SE on bugs and water would make a lot of things better in the metagame
>>26779771
Not the same anon, but it depends on what you mean by 'elements'
For example, fire and water are a point to you. But what about dragon, fairy, or but? not very "elemental" there.

>Why isn't Poison super effective against Bugs?
It was in gen 1 but then every single bug pokemon in the world built up a resistance to every poison in the world all at the same time.
>>26779430
>Steel isn't weak to electric.
>everything except water isn't weak to fire
Also
>no electric attack that causes burning
I never got why ghost was super effective against psychic. I mean, if there's one thing that could interact with and defeat ghosts, wouldn't it be psychic abilities?
>>26780509
Didnt poison used to be neutral to poison and SE against bug? Like back in gen 1? Or am I just remembering it wrong. Because I always remembered my weedle's poison sting being SE against other bugs.
Magcargo's body temperature is approximately 18,000 degrees F
Regice cloaks itself in air that is -328 degrees Fahrenheit, and can survive submerged in molten lava and other extremely hot temperatures
Fire and Ice should just counter each other, either super effectively or resistance.
>>26780882
Electric pokemon shouldn't be hurt by electricity conducted through water because the amount of electrons displaced in water is lesser than what the pokemon was dealing with initially anyway.
>>26782488
Psychic is pretty much Mind type. Your mind can get warped and lose concentration by things we deem as scary, such as bugs, the dark, and ghosts.
>>26782488
Psychic types are weak against fears
dark, bug, ghosts.
Psychics generally never beat ghosts, they actually fear their existences. How can telekinetic powers do well against phantoms without real physical form? Or... at all.
>>26780980
There's honestly a lot of shit Steel should be weak to, but lol muh defense meme type.
Why the fuck does steel resist grass?
Why isn't it weak to water and electric?
>>26780509
>wanting to buff poison even more
>>26782567
How often do you see a steel beam get effected by a plant?
>>26782585
>implying poision is viable
Their are really only a few decent poision pokemon. Most are mediocre at best, if not just god awful.
>>26782555
It depends on how you look at steel, for example electricity - we all know metals conduct electricity well so we'd assume it's weak. However steel is resistant to it? Seems pretty strange at first but I guess it's trying to tell us that it "deals with" electricity.
I know you didn't mention electricity, but this is a common thing people get confused about.
>>26782594
I live in the rust belt. I see overgrowth destroying factories, buildings and cars constantly.
>>26780338
How lame.
>>26782603
Those are a mix of brick, wood, and probably sheet metal that has been rained on and survived weather for decades if not longer with no maintenance. Overgrowth is not destroying the metal, its the rain and lack of care thats destroying it.
>>26782601
also in saying that, steels should also be resistant to fire. Metals irl have very few weaknesses and actually the best opposition it could have is poison. Yup - all those acid based moves etc. You know, things to cause chemical reactions which is fairly easy for poison to do.

Bug and poison were SE against each other, kek
Poison was still NVE against poison. I think if you used poison sting on weedles it was NVE since gen 1 only took one of the mon's types into account.
