Pokemon prism types Patch#

Gas resists Ground - This was a good replacement for Gas losing it's resistance to Bug-type moves. Fairy-type moves are already very strong, and can afford another niche type NVE. Gas resists Fairy - This was the most logical new resistance for Gas as Gas is already SE against Fairy.

But Bug-type moves were already doing poorly in the mainline games with a 3/7/0 offensive. There are also a number of changes where we've swapped certain types out with other ones.īug is no longer NVE against Gas - It seems like the decision for Gas to resist Bug-type moves was made a long time ago to balance out Bug's SE against Sound. Though it's only lost 1 weakness, this is still a major change to Sound. Sound is no longer weak to Normal - Sound is no longer weak to Normal-type moves, which gives it a huge defensive buff, and it never really felt right thematically either. Dropping 1 weakness, and gaining 1 resist. Gas is now 3/3/0 defensivesly - Gas is no longer a 4/2/0 defensively, it's now a 3/3/0. Both of them felt too vulnerable, so we've made some key changes to them. That was our main focus when rebalancing in this build. Overall, the main changes are that both Gas and Sound have received defensive buffs. Here is a quick comparison chart of the changes: Also a huge thank you to everyone who participated in the rebalancing discussion thread here on Reddit, and the rebalancing discussion on Discord when we posted our initial round of changes. We want to keep those in line with the main games so players don't have to relearn official typings. Keep in mind we have no plans to change any of the vanilla type match ups.

You can find the patch for that in the thread here: So this rebalancing will only be found in that build onwards. These changes have only been implemented in the most recent build, build 237. We mightn't neccessarily get everything right in this build, but overall the changes feel like a step in the right direction. We wanted to finally tackle this, and make them feel like worth while additions to your team. Since Prism's release these newly introduced types have felt underwhelming, and are often dismissed in competitive battling as viable options. With the recent build release, we have some exciting changes to both the Gas-type and Sound-type in Prism.
