Random thought of the moment: Why is Stephen Stone listed as a Steel specialist trainer when the majority of his pokémon teams aren't Steel types????????????????????????

@niss To be fair to all the Kanto Elite 4, they had slim pickings on they type specialisation haha

@DarkOverord @niss yeah but there's no excuse for bruno's garbage team

@Felthry @niss Like I agree on not having two Onix but also They're probably only in there to counter flying types and Primeape is, not great.

At least in HG/SS his rematch team actually correctly suits him

@DarkOverord @niss oh he's fine in the johto games. probably frlg too. but red/blue/yellow bruno is like.

bizarrely easy

@Felthry @niss Tbh his base team in GSC and pre-16 badges in HG/SS just swaps an Onix for a Hitmontop, which fair Gen 2 only added two fighting types X3c

@DarkOverord @niss onix is just, too weak to do anything useful, so the hitmontop is an upgrade

@DarkOverord @niss onix has a really unexpectedly low attack stat for being a gigantic rock snake

like you'd think a gigantic rock snake would have a reasonable base attack, like at least 80-ish

but no, its base attack is 45, tied with zubat

its base hp is even worse, too!! the only thing it has going for it is really high def and decent speed

@DarkOverord @niss actually i just checked out of curiosity and onix has worse base hp than *weedle*
