Weaknesses that don't make sense
We all know fire scorches steel, and water turns the ground into mud, but I thought it'd be interesting to list weaknesses that are odd than try to explain them..
I'll start off: Psychic, Weak against bug. Anyone care to add more or take a shot at explaining this? Maybe bug types are so simple minded that complex psychic attacks don't have as strong an effect? |
Thats the general idea I think. Although I dont think Dark should be completely immune to Psychic, just make Psychic NVE against Dark.
|
Well, considering I don't know anyone with actual psychic powers, that theory is a little hard to test ^_~
And why is psychic strong against poison? That one I really don't get. |
And how is leaf super effective against ground.
You'd think the leaves would bounce of.Try throwing a leaf at a rock and see what happens. |
Well....grass against ground and rock makes some sense, given that plants bore into the soil and stones and can break them.
But yeah, anything involving psychic, dragon, dark and poison are hard to test. |
Ground against Steel. Whats up with that?
|
Think of it this way. Building Vs Earthquake, who would win? XD
Help at all? |

And yeah, I agree with the Bug > Psychic explanation. Although it would've made more sense to have psychic attacks be NVE against Bugs as well as psys being weak against them. Dragon against Dragon. Now there's a difficult one to test out in reality. :bandit: |

Mwar, psychic abilities are all about the mind… perhaps a bug's mind is too darn tiny to be affected by Psychic abilities, and as such would have an advantage.
But that would be resistance, mwar, wouldn't it? O_O |

Rock, weak against Ice. Water, weak against Grass. How does that work?
|
it works like this,
in the scientific world, Rocks get water in the cracks of tehm, and when it freezes it starts to crack the rock (hope that helped) And water and grass, i think its because the water makes the plant stronge r by making its plant components grow ^_^ |
can anybody explain why fighting is weak to flying?? it's like "hey i'm a ninja! o crap! a pidgeon!!!!!" *dies* that makes no sense to me...
|
sure it does, the lfying nature of the pokemon puts it out of reach of the figihting pokemon, allow it "free" shots a tehe fighting pokemon ^_^
|
bulllllllllcrap. not with moves like "high jump kick" and besides... real fighters cary ninja stars and poison darts... immagine this... ryu from street fighter against big bird from seasame street... are you going to tell me that big bird has an advantage??? i don't think so!
|
Mwar, Big Bird is a pansy. No comparison.
|
why is fire weak against rock? i thought heat would melt the rovk into magma/lava, or are the fire attacks not hot enough?
|
Yes thats why.
~Filler |
How is Fire good against Bug type? accept of they might not have any hair leftXD
|
Try setting a bug on fire.You'll see.

Really? Because when I use Confusion on a tentacruel it's super-effective, and I'm pretty sure Psychic isn't strong against water...
I think you guys are right about the psychic vs. bug. Makes sense to me. It's probably the same principle that makes psychic weak to rock. You can't really confuse a rock. As for the flying vs. fighting thing... come on, big bird is not a fair representative for the flying type. You might as well say Barney is a dragon type. x_x |
XD
What I really dont get is how Ground is SE against ghost |
