Volcarona? A Pokemon -literally- only kept in check by stealth rocks. OH NO! A mon blocked by the most common entry hazard that almost every team runs! It should be outlawed! Now, I know how strong volcarona is, but calling it "the best sweeper in the game" is a big overstatement. base 100 speed is high, especially with a quiver up. But then there's the fact that getting it out to get that quiver up isn't always a done deal. because the earlier mentiond rocks and there still being counters/checks to it regardless of the quiver. Most bugs (as I said earlier) have one or more glaring weaknesses. Araquanid's ability, for example, only works for one of it's stab types, and it's attack stats are nothing to write home about (also it's not the best sticky web user because of low speed). Heracross is an extremely strong mon, but suffers from the same issue Buzzwhole suffers from: speed. include to that a pretty fact type that blows it out of the water before it's even taking a bath and well, done. mega beedrill I won't say shit about because I've been on the bad end of that thing enough times. Scolipede as well, but I'll mention that without the set up it really doesn't do that much. Scizor, again I can;t say many bad things about it. hell it's the best fairy hunter in the damn game. but the issues it has are pretty glaring when he's faced with them. low speed and a huge weakness to any special fire type kinda blows it out of the water, or into the water? Now here's an issue I personally have with dragons: they got out of control. They were meant to be an extremely strong type from the get go, but GF just decided to not control it for a while by giving them extremely good secondary types (example is Kingdra, only weak to Dragon pre fairies and only weak to dragon and fairies from gen 6. You can not say that is not a bit too much) and only one type that actually resisted it in steel (which in turn did need a nerf, which thankfully it kinda got by letting ghost and dark of all things hit it neutral), so dragons needed a nerf badly. And while yes some types getting buffed to be stronger against dragons might have also been one way to do it, Fairies were the better Option IMO. And naming some bug types "OP" while not naming dragons who are at least equally strong is kinda unfair (looking at you chomp, looking at you)

I wouldn't call Haxorus one of the weakest, as it's pretty damn strong. Maybe Drudigon?

And here's where the balance between Dragons and Bugs stops tho. Dragons have enough strong mons, bugs have a lot of strong mons. Where dragons outshine bugs is balance tho. Where things Like volc and sciz or amazingly strong, they all have some glaring weaknesses that greatly balance them out. like Scizor having an 8x weakness combined with decently low spdef and low speed (while it's also it's only weakness...) and volc is pretty fast and have a great set up move, rocks kinda send it home... Dragons really only fear one of their weaknesses, being fairy, while being able to deal with the other two with relevant ease. Ice is an extremely frail type, dragon beats itself and even fairy can be dealt with by the secondary types usually being good against the secondary types of the common fairies) @Jess you forgot to even count their mega's

Does bug have good mons? Hell yes. On the level of Dragon? Far from it. Some bugs are amazing but dragons have much more of that amazing. and can I just say that if Game Freak just kept control over how strong they made dragons Fairy never even had to have been a thing in the first place?

Why heal Water tho? It's the most toxic type in the game (most stall mons of any type, most badly designed mons, most annoying weather condition. It has it all)

Yeah... without a doubt. but all in all I'm almost 100% certain that Aya is gonna be the hardest of the bunch. Grass has some options for poison, but poison has enough option for those options. And while that is Meta talking, poison doesn't exactly have that many legends and ubers mons (I think only Naganadel even, not counting Arceus that is), so most strong poison mons are available for aya

Water: 16 Grass : 24 Dragon : 15 Electric : 19 Steel : 13 Fire : 18 Ground : 21 Ice : 21 Fight : 21 Normal : 18 Ghost : 18 Dark : 19 Bug : 22 Flying : 18 Fairy: 4 Rock : 18 Poison : 20 Psychic : 20 Hurt Water (take a wild guess what my least favorite type is guys. I bet you'll never guess). Heal Dark (gave up on keeping fairy alive, so might as well focus on my second favorite type)

ah, I've missed that

I'm gonna kick in an open door here: Ludicolo and Cradilly

I think... that Chespin is probably one of the best grass starters for Reborn

welcome

@Azeria either I read the rules wrong or you did. if I'm correct you can only do one hurt and one heal each day, and you can't tell me that in 14 hours 2 days have passed

from what I know there are some major and some minor trainers with new teams

I'd say Zelda

Why would you trade away a Ralts for that hellspawn in the first place?

Heal fairy. Hurt water Water : 18 Grass : 24 Dragon : 14 Electric : 20 Steel : 13 Fire : 18 Ground : 21 Ice : 21 Fight : 21 Normal : 18 Ghost : 18 Dark : 18 Bug : 23 Flying : 20 Fairy : 12 Rock : 18 Poison : 18 Psychic : 20 If they're not the reason you hate the type, then why use them as an example in the first place? And Azu being a bit bulky while having a high attack isn't something I would call "Toxic". When I think of a Toxic mon I think of those annoying as stall mons or the ones who are only good for bulk (nice example are toxapex, chansey, bronzong... there are enough on that list to keep me going for ages), and I hate to be that guy but there are not a lot of pure stall mons that are fairy type. in fact outside of Clef and maybe whimsi I don't see too any true stall mons at all.

@RedAlert I greatly disagree. Because why would you care if you're better than some dumbass who thinks he's the best? Put it in a real-life scenario. Let's say you play tennis. Would you rather call a friend your rival or some douchebag who even if you beat him fair and square will just say "You just got lucky." or "The sun was in my eyes." because he still believes to be superior. That's not a rival, that a douchebag who doesn't deserve to even be in the competition. If you're facing your friend, you're genuinely happy and excited and give it all you got, PUSHING YOUR LIMITS. But when you face some douche who will still say he's better than you, then you don't have as much motivation because even if you completely stomp him he will never acknowledge it.

Toxic Azu? That's not a common find tbh since it's usually huge power wallbreakerthingy. Clef I can understand. Mega Maw not really but that's cuz I never faced it. The Tapu's I can understand and magearna I can get behind. And toge was toxic before Fairies were even a thing (it doesn't even use fairy stab that often) so can't call fairies toxic for that bird
