Now all we really need is an item called āTactical Vestā that gives a 50% boost to difference but allows the use of only status moves. They literally have the blue print with the Assault Best.
Unless this is a matter of balance around the fact that thereās more ways to nerf physical attacks and physical attackers than there are ways to nerf special attacks and special attackers.
What Iām saying is the ROM hackers are right and that āScareā should exist as Intimidateās special counterpart.
And we should, in fact, replace FRZ with FROSTBITE. And then maybe make a will-o-wisp equivalent likeā¦ āchilling glareā and then rename Galar!Arcticunoās signature move to something like āicy gazeāā¦ or maybe name the move icy gaze idk. Whatās the first thing that comes to mind when instachill is mentioned? FLASH FREEZE! Yes. āflash freezeā.
And then maybe with those balance changes you could give BRN more move interaction beyond Hex and Sparkling Aria.
And maybe itās finally time to give us all those type combinations that havenāt been done yet? Fairy/Ground? Ground/Normal? Normal/Steel (yes that one robot from Pokestar Studios but I mean COME ON)? A non-mega Dragon/Fairy? Bug/Dragon (hello flygon)?
Which segues into maybe type-adding OR STAB-giving abilities? Ever thought a pokemon should have three types (FLYGON)? Why not Ground/Dragon with some ability called likeā¦ āchitinā that adds the bug type? Or why not give Salazzle that sweet sweet dragon type?
And how about some more balancing changes, huh? Make water and poison be super effective against each other! Give bug more resistances cause bugs are actually quite resilient! Bring back pursuit or give steel its ghost resistance or do both! Give Zamazenta the ACTUAL defensive typing and take away Zacianās fairy STAB! And you KNOW [almost] all those dual-type mythicals with psychic should have been given Fairy
And other choice thoughts. Thank you.
