[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Lord Windos]

Hmmm...let's see...

Immune: Poison

Resistances: Normal, Rock, Steel, Grass (1/4), Electric, Psychic, Dragon, Fairy, Flying, Bug, Ice, Nuclear

Neutral: Ghost, Dark, Ground

Weak: Water (x8.  Yeesh), Fire (x2), Fighting

That's the type chart for A Grass/Steel type that ignores Grass's weaknesses but retains all the resistances at the expense of being triple weak to Water.

Overall, not too shabby, if I may say so.  Resists 12 types, neutral to 3, and weak to 3, immune to 1.  Resisting/being immune to 13/18 while only being weak to 3 is pretty dang spectacular.  Crits will definitely wear away at her a bit, but she's definitely no slouch, particularly when tacking on all that passive damage.

Overall, this definitely looks like it'll be worth it.

There's one more thing that needs to be kept in mind, though, namely Pokémon with the ability Corrosion and the move Soak/Trick or Treat/Forest Curse (There's also Pokémon with Trick Ring Target, but that's an ultra niche strategy for most). If a Pokémon with Corrosion hits Adam, she takes + 3 Damage without her immunity, due to Poison/venom by nature being mostly an aqueous/aqueous chemical . Type change moves obviously ruin her defensive typing, though they all offer their own benefits in the process. Since she's going to be a part of your main line up, expect things like these or similar to pop up against her after the N.R.F. . Just a fair warning!
