You are now free to switch in something that resists Rock - say, Gliscor
First of all, Gliscor does not resist rock. Second of all, this is invalid since Gliscor is basically always a safe switch into Terakion (although SD might pose a problem if Gliscor is at low health). Third, CAP 1 being dependent on Gliscor is silly.

My reasoning against Flying/Fighting is simple. I don't like that it is weak to itself. That encourages running more offensive spreads, which is not what we are going for.
