Spiritomb has a weakness
So I was facing a Spiritomb in the Battle Maison and I realized that dark is weak to fairy, you know what that means right?
|
Not much of anything. Both Sableye and Spiritomb had exploited weaknesses before through use of Odor Slueth or Foresight or if the Pokemon had Scrappy which made both Miltank and Kangaskhan Spiritomb and Sableye's worst knightmare.
Now it just has an easier access to taking SE hits than before from just one attack. |
Yup, spiritomb and sableye have been knocked down a peg.
I didn't even think about it until I was looking for HA's in a safari with spiritomb and nailed it moon blast and the screen read" it's super effective". Nice |
Also, the move Magic Eye allows for Psychic attacks to hit Dark type pokemon. not that it matters since they are half ghost, but really, the strongest pokemon out there right now is Mega-Gardevoir. by creating Fairy type, Game Freak has changed everything. Spiritomb and Sableye were good shields, but now they have lost that one thing that made them special. hate Fairy type... why not call it Light type instead?

Back to the topic at hand, its nice that Sableye and Spiritomb have a type weakness now. Makes Prankster Sableye easier to deal with, and hopefully idiots will stop using Wondertombs since its no longer "invincible" (not like it ever was before, but still). |
I still love my Sableye, the new weakness just makes me consider a new tactical aspect of the game.
|
I hated Spiritomb, but loved Sableye in Gen 5. He was the ultimate troll. They really weren't that much of a threat though, I think that they should've been left alone. It seems that dragons and dark types were knocked down a peg, while normal types go boosted a litlte in gen. 6.

Um... it means Eelektross is the only Pokemon to have no conventional weakness?

That being said, Mega Gardevoir's 175 Spa is no slouch, but it's still frail like some have said here. |

Mold Breaker, Teravolt, and Turboblaze pretty much just cancel out Levitate and other defensive abilities making it as if the ability didn't exist. Its not exactly the same as trying to use Gravity tactics which would be the same as using Foresight or Odor Sleuth on Spiritomb/Sableye in the previous generations. Eelecktross still has a natural weakness through use of an inborn ability as well as an exploited weakness through specified tactics. Yes it makes Eelecktross the new Sableye/Spiritomb of this generation. Until the add another weakness to Electric next Generation to do away with that just as they did with Dark/Ghost's type combo. As a side note, there are more ways to get through/rid of Eelecktross' ability that there were ways to pass through Spiritomb and Sableye's type combination. |
