@@defensivekobra3873 and in a few cases like eelektross specifically the levitate is given to a single type pokemon, electric has ground as the only weakness and levitate just solves that for the most part (except against the mold breaker ability and the smack down move, anyway both can be also covered by stucking a flying balloon on that motherfuckin fish) but without giving it any of the weaknesses of flying type pokemon and also giving none of the stabsp, but i get that it sounds interesting if the ability was "third type: X" only given to dual type pokemon and maybe as a hidden ability in some cases or a second ability that would be kind of a sacrifice of the powerful first ability for pokemons like solgaleo making you choose between having "full metal body" or the damage modifiers and stabs of the "third type: fire"

@tim..indeed Год назад

I think the bigger problem than 8x weaknesses is that 4x weaknesses would become a lot more common. Pokemon with 4x weaknesses are almost barely playable and with 3 types the likelihood of each individual Pokemon having 1 or more 4x weakness triples.

@pussmagic1541 Месяц назад

Okay, x8 weaknesses, are you serious?! That's for if Pokemon are able to get a 4th type and all 4 types share the same weakness. The correction is if the type combination has the same weaknesses for all 3 types, it's 6x weakness to a particular type (for example Bug/Grass/Fairy-Type would now be 6x weak to Poison-Types). Same thing for if all 3 types are super effective against the same type, then it would be 6x for super effective damage.

@browserjunior4707 2 года назад

I think one factor you forgot to mention is that type specific Immunities would now be even more prevalent defensively and giving Pokémon like Klefki the Ghost/Steel/Fairy type gives it not only 4 immunities but also makes it have the ability to not be trapped by trapping moves and abilities. By giving triple types you risk a lot of Pokémon not only having more offenses but having more niche immunities like immunity to Powder moves, immunity to prankster, immunity to Burn/Poison/Paralysis, trapping moves. It’s already one thing to know all the intricacies of the current types like Ice types being immune to Sheer Cold and Freeze, but now having to balance Sheer Cold immunity with anti-trapping and prankster immunity is a lot more information to manage.

@WolfeyVGC 2 года назад

Very good point! I hadn’t considered this

@quintonclothier6171 2 года назад

@S92 Competitively, I don't think that would change anything. Casually, or in Nuzlockes, sure, but that isn't his wheelhouse.

@cooldude6269 2 года назад

Side note: IMO making dark types immune to prankster feels like a lazy way to nerf the ability, it doesn't really add strategic depth in an interesting way and feels more like just a bonus instead of something you can plan around. They could at least make it not affect the turn order instead of just making the prankster move fail...

@browserjunior4707 2 года назад

@@quintonclothier6171 It makes pressure useless for Singles and moves like Spite, Grudge and Eerie Spell worthless (which I guess is only anti-stall and stall related moves). Infinite PP would actually effect certain moves as now Charizard can spam infinite amount of Max Flare Blast Burns without drawback and while rare there are instances where you want to play around said scenario if need be (not recommended since it’s Charizard but hey if you can stall out 8 Blast Burns then you’re at least removing its strongest stab).

@ArgenteonYT 2 года назад

@@IgnitedQuils Sound-type might be interesting but I'm not sure how different it could be from Normal. I thought about separating Flying into Aerial and Wind, similar to Rock and Ground being separate, and Sound moves could be incorporated into Wind but then I get stuck and weak/resist charts for it. What I would be really interested in would be a Light type. I've seen people argue against a Light type, saying that Normal/Psychic/Fairy is basically already the "Light" type. I argue instead of thinking in terms of moves like Flash and Moonblast, convential light, make the Light type the Angel or Holy type. Pokemon doesn't have any conventional angels or holy figures outside of Arceus so I think it would make a really compelling type!

@NeonCitizenTeal 2 года назад

As for the complications of STAB, the one way they could balance it would be if STAB got weaker the more types a Pokemon has. For example, 1.6x for monotypes, 1.3x for dual types, and 1.2x for triple types.

@rattle_me_bones 2 года назад

That'd be a neat way to balance. Kinda like how some fighting games balance 3v1s by making the 1 far bulkier than any one of the 3.

@larseunic 2 года назад

More types doesn't mean a better pokemon, as it can increase its weaknesses. Lowering stab dmg would turn them into complete garbage

@aldoushuxley5953 2 года назад

Every single one of his arguments can be countered with the following implementation: Make a held item (??? stone), that gives you an additional type when your Pokemon is holding it. Only once on each team, like Z moves or mega stones. So Gyarados + Dragon Stone = Water/Flying/Dragon Won't have OP boost of triple STAB + Choice item, just triple STAB and better resistances, won't have 8x weaknesses (unless the player chooses to have that), won't be hard to design, you don't need new forms, just indicate the item with a recolour (Charizard + Dragon Stone = some purple elements/ purple particles around it)

@frank2mb 2 года назад

@@frank2mb True :) I think it is likely that this will be the new gimmick, since the gimmicks are usually "teased" first. So for example the gems in gen 5, and then Z crystals in gen 7.

@q12aw50 2 года назад

I think that the first problem could be fixed by simply capping the super effective move bonus at 4x. Keeping it similar to how it was, and fixing the issue without making one type too powerful and one Pokémon extremely weak.

@DKKiller581 2 года назад

I think an interesting way to balance tri-typing is to slowly weaken stab moves based on the number of types. 1 Type: +50% Stab 2 Types: +40% Stab 3 Types: +30% Stab This makes it where you trade power for coverage. This balance allows for single types to be the strongest in their stab moves, and might allow for an interesting change in the meta.

@dracoblizzard7944 2 года назад

But you aren't trading power for coverage, because a pokemon can't choose how many types it wants to have, it just has them. It would be a major nerf to pokemon who don't need it

@DKKiller581 2 года назад

@@dracoblizzard7944 the solution isn’t perfect, but if a Pokémon has 3 types, their coverage is automatically better by default due to the number of stab moves. Mixing types has a defensive downside, but offensively there is zero downside to adding more types. Yes, Pokémon don’t choose to be more or less types, but that doesn’t mean they choose their weaknesses either.

I really liked the video. As far as the editing goes, I think things move a bit much. It's very hectic visually on top of a very hectic topic as is. A lot of things move before they're trying to grab your attention instead of when they're trying to grab your attention. The topic, presentation and analysis were great and interesting! It would be cool to see a triple type be a gimmick for a Pokémon or a line of Pokémon. Like an alternate eevee style branched evolution or rotom form shift.

Nice video, but I think we all knew going into this topic that it's not a viable option for a few key reason which you naturally covered. The more palatable game changer, in my opinion, would be dual-type moves. So, for example, fire punch would be fire/fighting type, scald fire/water type, etc. That would bring a new tactical layer to movesets without overcomplicating the battle mechanics, I think.

I think one of the best way to implement a "third" typing would be this: - Make the third typing into a item. - Any pokemon holding this item gets that typing, including STAB and weaknesses. - Everytime a pokemon with that item appears it says "pokemon is now also x type" - You can knock off to remove the item + typing - You can fling your item to make the target into that typing until they change out. (overrides their current type item if they had any) - You can trick your item to change both yours and the enemys typing. And since its a item, you have to debate between "do I want more power with power orb/survability with leftovers or do I want to be more versitile in my STAB/Resists?" It would at least be the most interesting way to do things

Or like there will be just one item and a pokemon will get a third type once that item is held.

The unpredictability can be reduced this way as well as reducing typings on pokemon that just does not make any sense at all. We wouldn't want a infernape with water typing now would we

@abdullahbinjs2236 2 года назад

@@shadmankabir5916 I agree. It would be incredibly cool to see what new types all the pokemon would have. What could also happen, is that only a few pokemon get the extra types, and the item is specific for them. It would fit the game because items have changed pokemons before. I definitely think 3 types would be interesting to see at least, even if they may be broken. Perhaps we could see an eternamax-like one off 3 type pokemon, idk.

@Straddllw 2 года назад

Instead of making something 8x weak, you’d need to rescale everything so that it’s more linear than exponential. E.g - 1x damage when neutral, 2x when weak, 3x when double type weak, 4x when triple type weak.

@rayquarizard2911 2 года назад

I’d be curious how it would function if a third type were added, but in such a way that all multipliers for it are reduced.

The third type is still relevant like this, but inherently nerfed compared to the primary two types
