Honestly, I agree Rock types are insanely overlooked. They're pretty powerful in their own right, and have some of the best moves.

[@therustybucket221]

They’re so RNG tho. I hate them - almost every rock move is somewhat innacurate. What for? It’s so stupid.

[@abrarkadabrar7829]

@@therustybucket221 if there was a possibility of a Pokémon somehow being every single type, the only type that it would be actually weak to would be Rock. So I'm guessing it's a bit of a fool proofing the game so we don't end up with completely broken Pokémon, and even if we did, it would be an actual challenge to beat gambling with the high power low accuracy rock type moves. Idk that's my justification.

[@therustybucket221]

@Aquarium Gravel okay… so then if that’s the logic, why isn’t earthquake banned or too op? Extremely powerful, check - neutral against most types, check - accurate, check. I still stand by my point. Same for return, thunderbolt, scald (which also has 30% burn chance) etc.

[@theoceanic4664]

@@abrarkadabrar7829 that's due to the insane amount of types that rock is weak against

[@shadowsnake5133]

@@therustybucket221 but is 80% accuracy for most moves that bad? Especially when most lower speed or defense, something you really don't want lowered on your pokemon? Not saying they shouldn't have more moves with more utility, but it's not that bad. Bug type has gotten it way worse by comparison, and even then it's got good moves, it's just way harder to find them than the 50 different ways to fire fire from your asshole.

Rock type, a type that is normally known for having a ton of weaknesses that puts it at an extreme disadvantage comparatively to the other types. However, unlike the other mediocre types, Rock has some of the most powerful pokemon in the game, and has some surprisingly diverse combinations. If you really wanted a challenge for a mediocre type, I'd say Ice would be the hardest. While Ice hits super hard, it is probably the frailest type in the entire game, and thus it becomes a lot harder to focus around bulky cores.

[@momom5429]

The bigger issue is that ice types are almost all end late game unless he changes the day around to get the right weather in the wild areas.

[@kitsu1379]

I feel like in later gens, rock types really shine more because of the diversity in secondary types. In the earlier games most, rock types only had ground as their secondary types which made then quad weak to grass and water, two VERY common types, so people tended to overlook them a lot. When they started getting better secondary types they became so much better

[@flippy7035]

My man actually guitars. That cover at the end was sick.

[@joseangel2475]

Garbodor’s G-Max design feels Kaiju-esque which makes me love it all the more

[@rexyjp1237]

Its based on the kaiju genre. The creator of pokemon grew up on godzilla movies and the idea of pokemon comes from a kaiju show called ultraman. The company that owns godzilla voices the pokemon anime and thats why you hear kaiju sounds there.

[@lurkingone7079]

This run just once more shows how useful shuckle and set up moves can be. A no substitute run would have probably resulted in way more death. It´s nice to see a type that normally gets ignored see some good usage.

[@kitkatchunkymuncher8626]

Damn I’m hella late but this was another awesome nuzlocke! The narration is a big part and Antler smashes it every time! Keep it up!
