GSC OU is the most-walea meta in franchise history. Snorlax, Skarmory, Tyranitar, Cloyster, Vaporeon, Zapdos, Marowak, the seven core walea, define every game.
O design fact da Gen 2

Em resumo

A Gen 2 adicionou Steel e Dark, separou o Special em Attack e Defense, e deu aos Pokémon held items pela primeira vez. Cada mudança inclinou o meta para a defesa.

Steel walea Dragon, Ice, and Fairy-equivalent moves more reliably than any pre-Gen 2 typing. The Special split made Special-tank Pokémon (Snorlax, Blissey ancestors, Vaporeon) less universally bulky and forced specialisation. Held items added Leftovers, passive 1/16 HP máximo por turno recovery, making every defensive Pokémon harder to wear down.

Tipos Steel e Dark

Steel and Dark are da Gen 2 structural additions to the type chart, and the only such additions for the next 14 years (until Fairy na Gen 6).

Steel, perfil defensivo

  • Resiste a 11 tipos — Normal, Grass, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Dragon, Ghost, Dark, Steel. The most typings defensivos introduzido to that point.
  • Fraco contra Fire, Fighting, Ground
  • Imune a Poison (Steel não pode ser envenenado)
  • Observação, Steel resisted Ghost and Dark na Gen 2 onward; that pair of resistances was removido na Gen 6.

Dark, perfil defensivo

  • Resiste a Ghost, Dark
  • Imune a Psychic, a mudança que encerrou a dominância de Psychic na Gen 1.
  • Fraco contra Fighting, Bug
  • Super-effective em Psychic, Ghost

Por que Dark foi adicionado

Tipos Psychic da Gen 1 (Mewtwo, Alakazam, Starmie, Exeggutor) não tinham counter real, Bug era super-efetivo no papel mas nenhum move Bug tinha BP alto, e Ghost deveria ser super-efetivo mas um bug da Gen 1 fez com que causasse 0 de dano contra Psychic. da Gen 2 Dark type fixed both problems: Dark hits Psychic super-effectively AND Dark-types are immune to Psychic moves.

O split de Special

A Gen 1 tinha um único stat Special usado tanto para o output de dano especial QUANTO para a absorção de dano especial. A Gen 2 separou em Special Attack e Special Defense, seis stats no total, o sistema usado por toda gen desde então.

Gen 1

Special unificado

  • Stats

    HP, Attack, Defense, Special, Speed (5 stats)

  • Papel special

    Usado tanto para output de dano special quanto para bulk no lado special.

  • Consequência

    Pokémon with high Special were strong on both sides simultaneamente, Mewtwo, Alakazam, Starmie were unstoppable special pivots.

Gen 2+

Split entre Special Attack e Special Defense

  • Stats

    HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed (6 stats)

  • Especialização

    Pokémon agora têm perfis especiais ofensivos e defensivos separados. Um wallbreaker pode ser SpA alto / SpD baixo; um wall pode ser SpA baixo / SpD alto.

  • Consequência

    Stat distributions se tornou diverse, Blissey (255 HP / 10 Atk / 135 SpD) and Mewtwo (154 SpA, 90 SpD) sit at opposite extremes.

Baseline das mecânicas de batalha
