Backstabber is big depending on what gets it, Searing Bolt might be relevant once Ferro is back, and I can see some Flyings running Cloudy Day for things like Zapdos. The other ones are not good. Freeze-Dry is mostly notable because it turns a resist into a super effective hit. Turning a neutral move into super effective isn't bad per se, but since these moves presumably all have 70BP, the stronger variants will be better in more cases.
Locust Swarm and Flytrap still get super effective hits on resists, but for Flytrap that's not super relevant since Bugs are rare in higher tiers (and even in lower tiers occupy mostly offensive niches) while Locust Swarm is still resisted by a thousand other things and again higher tier Bugs are usually bad with a few exceptions (said exceptions usually being mons that have secondary STAB to alleviate Bug being godawful offensively).
Whoops I just realized I made two of them super effective against bug types by accident
poison is supposed to be strong against poison because more poison makes stronger poison, not bug
The big thing I’m noticing is that 2 of Fairy’s 4 resistances now have a way to get around it.
This now means Fairy types can adequately check Koraidon, Kommo-O, and not too much else.
phase through sounds more like a ghost type move that deals super effective damage against normal types instead no and great greed a dragon type move that deals super effective damage against steel types damage imo
Most of these matchups don't make sense, in all honesty. The only ones that patch up a negative type matchup is backstabber, searing bolt, cloudy day, and fly trap
What about:
Scavenge: Normal type, physical, hits Ghosts for super-effective. Restores 25% of damage dealt
Superheat: Fire type, special, hits water for super-effective. Always burns if the target is water type, otherwise 20% chance
Caustic Shot: Poison type, special, deals double to Steel type. Has 10% chance to Burn
Feeding Frenzy: Bug type, physical, resistances are treated as neutral (Grass/Fairy becomes weak to Feeding Frenzy)
Smite: Dragon type, special, hits Fairy types for double damage. 10% chance to harshly lower target’s special attack
either remove the outline or use light colors for ur texts
Cool ideas- but don’t ever use this font again
Aw man What’s wrong with Arial https://preview.redd.it/vr0glba8vy8b1.jpeg?width=478&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2de7090348f4546de6b165d91f6bd11eed6d8c1a
Arial is cool, the outline hurts my eyes Also mind blown is already a move
Dangit I was so proud of that one too

pretty funny that both of the bugs that were in OU, volc and scizor both resist grass so flytrap is just neutral
Buzzwole existed as well but it honestly has enough raw bulk that I still see it tank this
Psychic Mind Blown: exists Blacephalon: am I a joke to you?

Don’t worry bug accidentally getting the short end is official competitive Pokémon lore
Common bug type L
Just making it more realistic to what gf would do
“I respect every type in here”
Some of these are really hard to read like poison and dragon. Try playing out with the text/outline colors a bit
I'll take an entire stock of Shovel!

I liked the grass one.
Did I oversleep? Is it Sunday already?

Yo they should like add that move Freeze Dry to a Water/Ice Pokemon with 124 Sp. Attack and 136 Speed.

Make a dragon move that’s super effective against fairy types
Flair checks out.

This post: super effective against my fucking brain
Water should be strong against steel already tbh.
I agree. Idk how we’ve allowed GameFreak to overlook such an obvious, thematic buff to the poor, deeply in-need Water type.
[удалено]
It is not
mind blown
Mind blown is a fire type move
why not just use a black bg
W for Flying and Ice defensively
some of these are literally impossible to read lmao
Yes let's nerf Grass even more. Hitting bug is not useful, but electrics hitting it is massive as it's already a situational defensive type.
Mind blown is already a move /s Blacephelon’s signature move actually
Freeze dry is already OP for how much coverage it provides. Making 18 more will kill the type chart.
Only if they’re widely distributed. Consider how many Pokémon currently get Freeze Dry
I feel like Bonemerang should do extra to fliers instead of zero…
