Nope. In Gen 2 and 3, Dark was special for some reason, and Ghost was physical.

Strategies which used that was Jolteon with Bite, and Flareon with Shadow Ball.

Night Shade has always been based off your level, but the other two damage dealing moves in Gen 1 were Astonish and Lick. Since their attack power is ridiculously low being physical or special made little difference either way in the first Gen. They STILL should have swapped it to Special, but you know. Incompetence.

Every Eevee evolution is based off a Special type. This is the ONLY reason Dark is Special, I guarantee you.

Astonish wasn't a move until Gen 3. So way back in Gen 1, the only "real move" of Ghost type was Lick. And the only Ghost types were the Gastly line so Ghost types weren't so great in battle against the overpowered Psychic type. And that's despite what was claimed in that one episode about Sabrina in the English dub of the anime in the '90s.

The Houndour-line also had slightly more Special Attack than Physical, presumably because Dark being Special pre-Physical/Special split. Crunch also previously had a chance to reduce Special Defense originally, before being changed to a chance to decrease Defense post-Physical/Special split.

On another note, in regards to tier list videos about the mainline games, how much do they lean towards being bullshit, versus towards making a good point? Here's two, as an example:

Has anyone else encountered game breaking bugs in BDSP in relation to the mystery gift events? The cresselia storyline won't even start and despite having Oak's Letter and the Member's card from when they were being distributed. The game acts like they aren't in my inventory with some autistic script flag I probably haven't triggered yet and I've already beaten the elite four and did the mount stark storyline and the iron island storyline. Meanwhile in the original games you just needed to have them in your inventory to start the events and didn't need to catch the lake trio first. This was on my physical copy of SP.

I had not noticed that before and it was also more difficult to get an eevee in RSE as it was a trade only pokemon.

Its always annoying that the games will flip flop on whether normal and ghost types could nullify each other's attacks in my experience.
For example, sometimes an OPPONENTS Loudred will be immune to shadow ball and other times it would always be a 1 critical hit KO against MY Loudred somehow at the E4. Despite being immune to ghost type moves on paper as a normal type. Its super inconsistent and just makes me avoid the two types entirely. At least I know nothing will be immune to a water type move short of protect and have seldom had a similar issue with electric and ground types where its more consistent.

Im not talking about using dual types. Just regular ghost and normal type pokemon like eevee and gastly.

How the fuck are you so bad at Pokemon that your normal types can get hit by a ghost type move? Like, what the fuck did you even do?

I'm genuinely trying to figure out what he meant.

Secret Power would make sense, but it doesn't use Shadow Ball as an animation. Nature Power does, but it also changes to ghost type, so that can't be it

Foresight Nullifies ghost types so they aren't immune to fighting or normal. It has nothing to do with ghost moves.

Phoebe's pokemon don't have any abilities that would allow ghost moves to hit normal

So I really have no idea how you could re-create that scenario other than hacks.

Niantic and their tranny community manager are now preventing people from commenting on Twitter, lol! The backlash over the avatars and shitty updates hasn't stopped because Ninatic's tranny CM would make tone deaf tweets to shill the games "updates." There's a Master ball event, but the requirements are insane (Catch 1400 pokemon through 5 missions in 5 days or less with other lackluster rewards). The only ones who are going to get a masterball are nolife redditors or streamers and youtubers.

Another problem that's not on the list is pokemon just aren't catchable after you beat raids or rockets. You can throw decent curve balls at raid bosses or rocket Pokemon, and they'll still run away from you, making you feel like you wasted time and a raid pass.


I'm surprised Niantic didn't disable Youtube comments yet.

Can confirm, I've had this issue even before the recent updates.

You can use a Razz berry, an Ultra Ball, have the catch circle thing be pure green, land an excellent curveball. and the thing will fucking break with zero shakes. But at the same time, catching something like an Exeggutor, with a great ball with the catch circle thing being red, that somehow is successful.

The RNG on catching is more fucked than FNAF's 20/20/20/20 mode.
