The horse society doesn't have an official language yet but since linoone being an ally of the mudcargo alliance could mean french could take that place which would support krookodile's case as a horse

[@eliyaskiya]

So that would give Sandile a claim to being a horse. And if Sandile is a horse and Krookodile is a horse, that opens the path to "once a , always a ". Does this mean that mean that all birds are dinosaurs and thus deserve dragon status? I wonder if such a situation could cause turmoil if multiple councils decide on different rules or conditions. Perhaps a new Pokemon war may be on the brink of happening and this is just the beginning

[@SeekSeekLest]

It is (likely) a cold blooded reptile which also hurts their chances. Despite the risk of inviting a Diomedes, I think a decent working definition would be a quadruped that learns high horse power.

[@yettermi]

If High-Horsepower isn't enough to verify as a horse, then what is? This is a slippery slope for the Council.

[@mattgibson9337]

why? having horse power does not make one a horse and that is because horse power is a unit of power. having 1 horsepower means you produce power equivalent to that of a single horse; so having high horsepower doesn't make you a horse it just means you generate an enormous amount of power, for example we can use Magcargo. in the Pokédex entry from Pokémon sapphire it is stated that Magcargo has a body temperature of 18000 degrees Fahrenheit this converts to 9982.2222 degrees Celsius. in the same entry it states that water is vaporized on contact and that raindrops turn to steam in an instant, a single raindrop has a weight of 0.034 grams and an instant is an infinitesimally small amount of time, the shortest time measured is 397x10^-21; water at 25 degrees celsius has a specific heat capacity of 4.182 j/gC, the difference in temperature between the water and Magcargo is 9957 degrees celsius. using the equation Wdot=c*m*DeltaT/deltat where c is specific heat, Wdot is work/time, deltaT is Temperature change and m is the mass of the object and deltat is the change in time. putting everything together we find that the amount of watts used in that interaction is 3.57*10^21 which when converted to horse power we get 4.7815*10^18 horse power which by all definitions is high horsepower however that is still only the work done and it tells us nothing about whether he is or is not a horse. be smarter don't fall for the obvious scam Magcargo has employed to sneak his way into the horse council. and don't just trust the council I believe Magcargo is working with horse to topple the horse council in an effort to create chaos in society. Edit: a single horse produces 15 horse power not 1 and and the smallest amount of time should have been 397x10^-21 not 397x10^21 I have left the former unchanged since whether a horse produces 1 hour power or 15 does not changr the fact that horsepower is a unite of energy, i have however corrected the error with the time as that does effect the calculations

Some of the most fun in early Gen 6 was running Mandibuzz because so many newer players didn't know how Foul Play worked (or that Mandibuzz ran it) and just got obliterated after setting up their SD on Scizor/Pinsir/Metagross/Charizard. Good times, good times.

I find it really funny that despite a lot of dark types having their stats dumped into attack, dark type was a special type prior to gen 3.

[@LeonSKennedy-b9v]

Making Dark Type deal Physical dmg would have made Ghost obsolete, they intentionally made it Special to avoid that. Of course the most obvious solution would be changing Ghost to Special so Dark can freely be Physical but for some reason (presumably compatibility with gen 1?) they couldn't do that

Every dark move in Gen 3 became a physical move in Gen 4. There's literally no reason it was special. They should have just flipped Ghost and Dark

jim, thank you for mentioning crawdaunt, it reminded me of my favourite tournament game ever (freezai vs Eo 2022 wcop) with the most legendary crawdaunt of all time. i've watched that damn game like 6 times and i still can't help getting hyped. also i will very happily talk about my hatred for kingambit, not only is it a braindead design, it basically takes the concept of priority and cranks the power level up so far beyond what was originally intended that it totally breaks the game, with the only counterplay being to use hard counters (that easily get f*cked by tera) or win coin flip style mindgames. raging bolt is similar i loathe that thing, those two are only balanced thanks to the broken checks broken shenanigans going on in the tier. im glad people are liking it now but it's too fundamentally flawed for me to enjoy it at all

Dark truly is one of the best types, being good against imo the best type in ghost type both offensively and defensively is incredible.

[@Smashfan258]

I will forever be confused why prior to the physical special split they made Ghost physical and Dark special when most Ghost types were special attackers and Dark types were physical attackers

[@shanoc5902]

I'm pretty sure that ghost was physical in gen 1 as it was meant to be an answer to psychic types, pokemon which are typically frail on physical defense (especially since special was a combined stat back in gen 1), and if you look at the concept art for pokemon that didn't make the cut it looks like there were supposed to be more ghost types. Then we move onto generation 2, there's already more physical types than special types so with introducing Steel and Dark type they probably wanted only one to be physical at most and even if you set aside moves like bite and crunch, steel logically makes sense to be 'physically' based while this new 'Evil' type is more special conceptually. From there it was probably just an unwillingness to change what was established until the physical/special split, because why change things for just one or two types when plenty of types have moves that should be physical or special.

[@poppyfrancis7338]

I love the dark type but the thing keeping it from being one of my favorite types is the lack of widely learned moves with 80 base power or more. Yes crunch and knock off are generally good, but they don't get spread around to just any mons, they need teeth and some kind of limb capable of smacking respectively. Dark pulse is a very accessible special option, but because dark and ghost are so similar offensively any non dark type would rather have shadow ball's special defense drop and neutrality on fighting types. Dark has the potential to be the third best type in the game after fairy and steel, and if a particularly strong dark move is given to a good amount of mons like pursuit, once was, I think that would do it

Krookodile is clearly not a horse. He is clearly a crocodile. In fact he can be a high ranking member on the crocodilian council if he applies himself.

Some cool changes that would give relevance to mid dark types is if spiritomb had an ability called vantablack or smt that made it immune to dark and or fairy type attacks (I'd want this on a mon with average to bad stats) and an ability on like mega absol that let it use knock off and sucker punch as special attacks because the mega got so much spatk and has great special coverage otherwise
