Definitely, but as I said, in similar way this will "eventually" standardize. While fringe cases will happen (like the guy who Dynamaxed Incineroar in one of the final days of VGC instead of his restricted just to take out a specific thing), 90% of the time it'll be the same pokemon into same types.
This is also something we already went over, and it's going to just be noob bait that dies to the first sand/hail/entryhazard/toxic/wow/rockyhelmet/moldbreaker/insert another 50 things people run normally for other reasons while at same time wasting the gimmick on a useless pokemon.
all the fairy typing in the world can't save shed from its fate of dying to a warm breeze
How exactly is that different from things like power herb/grassium Z solar beam Heatran, fireblast garchomp, and other "i'll run a unexpected move to 1shot the check" lures that we see every time again?
that's true for pretty much any Pokémon with a frail defense no? in the case of Shedinja potentially everything can check it, and something as simple as sandstorm/hail takes it out, and then there's the plethora of entry hazards. having to give Shed a pretty useless item (it needs those booties) doesn't bode well for its viability and then on top of that having to stack spinners/defoggers, i get that most teams will have these anyway, but keeping Shed alive and those spinners whilst simultaneously keeping the enemy at bay is a hard feat, and for the payoff of.. 90 base attack??
I dunno about noob trap, air balloon electric is gonna be garbage but in the hypothetical world where it does make it in I can see tera steel being obnoxious, immune to sand and toxic, walls all kinds of shit, (remember that shed is also counterbalanced with a high-weakness typing), I could also see ground being also annoying for similar reasons as steel, sacrificing the toxic immunity for having a better type spread on the whole, as grass and water are fairly uncommon coverage options and having an ice weakness is manageable,
"air baloon steel" istantly dies to stealth rock.....
Yes, except Pachirisu wasnt a meme pokemon and was picked for a specific reason and for being antimeta, not because it was cute.
The downside is Pokemon Dependent. You could give an Electric type Ice moves, but that means Electric type becomes an Ice type. Some Pokemon won’t mind this and can just Terastallize after setting up, and really you are going to be boosting only 1 move 99% of the time on 1 Pokemon offensively and those moves keep their drawbacks.
different in terms of power (when compared to something like fire blast garchomp) and that a lot of mons will get access to a lot of options they usually don't have thanks to terra blast. while i think it is likely to be pretty gimmicky and inconsistent to run terra blast lure sets, it could easily add a pretty annoying level of variance into the game.
I suggest re-reading my post because nothing about this reply seems to be replying to anything I was saying. I never mentioned terra steel running air balloon, and I never said anything about shed being a wincon
Is it really. Once you're terastalyzed your Volcarona into a ground type to murder that Heatran that walls you, your volcarona is now a ground type. Sure it has 3 stabs, but it is now vulnerable to being demolished by Kartana and Rillaboom.
Actually, Steeling typing would. HDBs+Steel Shedinja means (outside of some rare stuff you’ll never see) it can only be hurt by Hail, Burns, Mold Breaker, and super effective attacks.
