[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

Man, this trainer must be loaded with potions if that Pinsir is back up to full health from half already...good grief...Wrap should make it easier to take care of, at least.

Having access to a Quad Effective move in the form of Ice Fang certainly helps as well! Ventus is going to have some...fascinating questions for this man by the time he's through with this encounter...

2x.  Ice isn't SE against bug.  All 3 elemental fangs are 2x effective.  Freezing the bug solid would be nice, though, that's for sure.

Figured they would be, but oh well. Its better to freeze the bastard than try a Fire Fang so close to the water, or risk electrocuting Apsis with Thunder Fang.

Freeze also temporarily completely neutralizes the threat, which is great.  Burns are nice for the damage, but yeah, the water kinda neuters that completely...and paralysis...well, if that's needed, there's Thunder Wave (and Nuzzle if Pinsir gets closer to land).

Yeah, you would think Bug would be weak to ice because bugs hate cold weather, but thems the breaks.

Not all bugs die in cold weather, but the vast majority dispise those condition anyway, so I don't see why Gamefreak didn't make the type weak to that as well. Perhaps they didn't want to make Ice type move THAT powerful?
