WTF Rito, skins aren't supposed to give in-game advantages!

But Taliyah's alt skin changes her to Ice-type! She's super effective against her base skin in the mirror match!

You fucking scrub, ice types take super effective damage from rock attacks, not the other way around. Rock Pokémon take neutral damage from ice moves.

But she may be part Ground-type, in which case the Freljord skin is in fact super-effective against the base.

I mean, they may be rocks, but she's literally picking up the **ground **and throwing it, so...

But they are rocks, so all of her abilities would hit for double damage against the frelyordian. At best, the rockweaver is part ground type and both skins are mutually super effective, so neither has an advantage.

Wouldn't the rock cancel out the ground making the ice attacks normally effective though?

No because rock doesn't resist ice

ice v rock X1 for ice (neutral) ice v ground x2 for ice (super effective) ice v rock/ground 1x2=2 (super effective)

but If she was lets say Fire/Ground Ice would be neutral

ice v fire x.5 for ice (not very effective) ice v fire/ground 2x.5=1 (neutral)

I dunno if they nixed it, but the Commando skins reduced Leona's ult by 1 damage point.

That's any champ wearing sunglasses. I think Vayne's base skin also counted.

The Freljord skin also is more effective against Aurelion Sol!

That's why you have to buy Ashen Lord Aurelion Sol, the fire type he gets will nullify the supereffectivess against dragons.

But then Taliyah just sticks with her classic skin and nails with with rocks, actually making her doubly super-effective.

Rock --> Fire/Flying = x4 damage

Or is he Dragon/Fire...

IronwallJacksonMay 5, 20161 votes

Ashen would be dragon/fire; only doubly effective. Base Aurelion would be dragon/psychic because all cosmic Pokemon are psychic and because flight does not guarantee a flying type. Which actually brings me back to Ashen Lord.

The closest examples of Pokémon resembling that skin are Reshiram and Charizard. The former's dragon/fire typing would have been way too strong back in Gen 1, let alone on a starter, so the latter was made fire/flying. Thus, Ashen Lord should conform to modern design standards and be dragon/fire instead of fire/flying.
