There is literally no reason that STAB should exist. It's an outdated cancer mechanic that restricts creativity in favor of pumping more damage into offense.

Let me guess, Special shouldn't have been split into 2 stats either
I don't mind the phy spe split.
homie you serious?

>Stall bad
moronic low elo shitter detected, opinion rejected.
>wanting stall to be easy mode
Low elo shitter detected
>Wanting stall to be playable in the base game (not dominant, playable) without slapping on a ton of convoluted bans and rules means you're a low elo shitter
Stall hasn't been meta relevant in almost 2 decades.
>Stall hasn't been meta relevant in almost 2 decades.
Yes, because stall shitters are bad and moronic. That doesn't mean stall itself needs help.
>Not being able to compete against the hyper offensive power creep means stall players are bad at pokemon
I can still compete with stall. Other people can still compete with stall. You're just bad and stupid.
I’m so fricking happy that gen 8 and 9 completely SHARTED over stall teams. Have fun trying that shit against my choice band urshifu that hits through protect and always crits.
The problem isn’t STAB, the problem is Mono types get punished for no reason. Either slightly strengthen monotypes’ STAB or slightly weaken dual types STABs
dual types get more STABs but also have 2nd type to worry about more weaknesses, why else do you think mono-water or mono-fire are good defensive types?
or the 2nd type just cancels out the first types weaknesses
2nd types so provide extra resistances, type immunities snd secondary benefits like immunity to spore/burn/etc. there are defensive advantages and disadvantages to having two types but only offensive benefits.
How about this: we take all monotypes and make them dual types, just with the same type they had before. So like Mismagius becomes Ghost/Ghost. STAB triggers twice like in Tera, but weaknesses and resistances are doubled as well.
>let's just frick over weak pokemon
Alright new breed of balancing schizo
It makes perfect both for gameplay and the world that Pokemon that belong to a type would be better at using moves of that type.
It doesn't make realistic sense.
>It doesn't make realistic sense for Flamethrower from a Fire type(a Pokémon designed to represent the Fire element) to be more powerful than a Flamethrower from a non-Fire type because.....it just doesn’t okay?
They should also get rid of supereffective damage and only keep resistances to further boost that sweet stall!
I disagree, but this did make me think that it might be good if dual-typed Pokemon only got 1.25x STAB instead of 1.5x, since they're essentially splitting their specialty.
Would give single typed Pokemon more of a niche too, so you wouldn't have everyone seething every time something is monotype and not also randomly /dark or /dragon because it happens to have a darker color scheme or is a reptile.
I could get behind reducing STAB's power to x1.25 or something, but removing it entirely doesn't make a ton of sense to me
Only Dualtypes should get nerfed STAB.
"I don't think Stall is strong enough" the thread
Utterly moronic statement, without stab then only the defensive properties of a pokemon's typing would matter. Steel types with good coverage would literally rule the entire game.
[insert some dumbass remark about how certain things are a lost cause and that the pokemon that gave those typings are supposed to suffer]
How about you take a bad dragon type dong and STAB it in your ass, dumb frog poster.
What Pokemon swept your team?
i bet you exclusively only ever play singles format 3v3 and as such your opinion is 4 gaygits
Removing STAB removes the entire point of a pokemon being designed after a type.
Mons with poor defensive types will have zero reason to even be used.
