Next season battling is going to go to the Inverse mode. Leads to questions how does that affect your team? and How does one train for that?

What is the best defecive type in Inverse? Ice? LOL. Only weak to ICE.

Avvalugg OU.

Lets talk strategy!

If you thought Kangaskhan was strong before, well prepare yourself, because now it resists fighting. And normal STAB will be OP, as rock and steel are weak to it and nothing resists it other than ghost.

Under inverse. Normal and ghost are 2x weakness instead of Immune

Well, that's even better news for Kanga then if true. :P

I agree with Keiran, Inverse Normal-type is essentially way more OP than even 1st Gen Psychic-type. Having nothing resist its moves is definitely very nasty, it's essentially what I call the true definition of OP. And under inverse conditions immunities become weaknesses so given the only advantage against Normal (Ghost) is weak to Normal itself will show that inversed Normal-types will be extremely hard to counter. I even made a new hashtag lol.

Inverse battles always make things difficult. :( We're all too familiar with normal ones and know how they work in and out; we might be able to figure inverse out by some thinking, but would take a long time for us to actually adapt. Probably won't be taking part, but for those who do, I'd imagine it to be sort of tough.

How typical. The beautiful Aurorus gets an amazing typing under the rules of Inverse yet still gets beaten down by a metagame favourite.
