Luke888 said: Making something broken is an accumulation of good factors and yes, Fairy is kinda broken too while not beeing on the same level as Water... Trust me, Water has way more advantages than other types, both by movepool and by type advantages. Grass is one of the less competitive types besides a few exceptions like Venusaur, Ferrothorn and Ludicolo (which guess what ? is Water type) so as I said electric is the only option to counter water and again, electric doesn't resist water so you can't safely switch in on water types with most of Electric types. also opting for grass moves on non-grass types doesn't change much as the only pokémon you can deal good damage with non stabbed grass moves are the Water/Ground mons .Then you have pokémon such as Rotom-W that IMHO is way more popular than M-Kanga since it's used both in OU and VGC, also may I remind you of Greninja, which of course was broken because of his abilty, but M-Kanga is broken too because of Parental Bond... Freeze Dry beeing 70BP doesn't change the fact that it can't be used competitively, especially because only a handful of Pokémon can learn it... Fair enough previous to scald Water couldn't inflict status but still now most Water types can inflic multiple statuses IE Rotom-W can burn, paralyze or toxic opponents, also let me remind you that there are plenty of types that can't deal any status besides flinching (which Water can too with moves such as Waterfall) such as Rock, Steel and Ghost. Surf is extremely viable in double battles, especially when used against Mega Groudon after you nullify it's ability, which reminds me that one of the few Pokémon capable of doing so is Golduck. If you don't want to consider rain then I don't even know why you're asking me why Water is broken... |
Broken means gamebreaking. There is nothing gamebreaking about water types, end of story.
I was asking because I wanted to know the thought process behind such a ridiculous claim.
