back in the days, whan i only started to play pokemon, on my very first run of pokemon red, parasect was one of my fightning pokemons. i really liked that slow but strong guy.
later i found out that slash is much stronger by a normal pokemon, and that mega-drain is beter for pokemon with a better special attacks. i still like the 'spore' ability, but in silver i only got a parasect for 'cut'.

Yeah, the Steel typing helps the dark typing more than vice-versa.
Still, 2 immunities and a plethora of resistances is nothing to scoff at. Even less so when you consider the attack drop from Intimidate or god knows what other awesome new ability they could give it in 5th gen. You say it makes Steels weaker, I say it makes Darks stronger.

Either way, it's an interesting typing I sure wouldn't mind seeing.

Thematically, Steel/Dark makes the most sense. Mawile's pretty much the embodiment of feigning weakness to catch others off-guard and ready a killing blow. And underhandedness as well as being bad in general are textbook Dark/Evil type traits.

It's just that Dark kinda sucks paired with Steel because Steel either wants a really offensive type to pack a punch with or a type that fills in its defensive holes. Dark does neither.

That's why I said "Originally".
I case you forgot, Psychics were god mode back in the day with opposing psychics (or chansey) being the only pokes that can take their attacks. Dark helped remedy that a little.

>> No.5505993

>>5505962

Yeah, I know what you mean. Getting STAB on arguably the best priority in the game is sort of excellent, though.

>> No.5505996

>>5505873
Dark is basically the 'Evil' type, created because Fighting sucked and Psychic dominated in Gen 1. It didn't help that basically nothing resisted Psychic attacks back then, Bug attacks were garbage, and the only Ghost attack that checked type did 0 damage against Psychics.

Although it's softened a bit in the anime, Dark moves are all about using dirty moves like ganging up on your opponent and biting people, manipulating evil energy, and generally acting like a dick. It beats psychics mostly because psychics were too powerful in Gen 1 and loses to bugs/fighters because Gen II was basically a small but belated apology to bug/fighting types (also fair and structured fighting overcomes sneaky tactics, I guess).

Incidentally, Gen II's type chart changes made Psychic an even worse attacking type than it was back in Gen I where EVERYBODY used a psychic, so it's part of the reason why nobody uses Psy moves except for STAB.

It's true, but having such a crippling weakness in addition to an ability like Intimidate makes switching a bit too...delicious...in my mind. And I kinda like Mawile as a baton passer. Also it doesn't learn Pursuit for some reason.

Well, I hear that there's a new series...or is that movie? coming out. Some people don't really like the designs of the new Digimon, though.

I don't really follow Digimon, to be honest. The games suck and I came in at a bad time for the TV series, what with the four original series and Data Squad pretty much over. Mostly just was there because I saw Glamour Works' takes on the female digimon then scared away because everybody wanted to focus on Renamon and the babies instead.
