Hello, Welcome back to Ducumon Website and I’m Pokemoner. Today, we will play Pokemon Platinum Redux by Hennus. It’s an NDS Hack ROM and based on Pokemon Platinum.
Attacking type | Defending Type | Damage modifier | Explanation (mostly balance reasons) |
Dark | Steel | 1 | already a thing since gen 6 |
Ghost | Steel | 1 | already a thing since gen 6 |
Psychic | Steel | 1 | mainly to nerf steels defense; other supernatural, force like types (dark, ghost) are already not resisted by steel |
Grass | Steel | 1 | steel is too strong defensively; grass too weak offensively and all the nature types (water, fire, electric) are already not resisted by steel |
Bug | Ghost | 1 | ghost is already a strong type and becomes even stronger with neutrality towards steel; bug is lackluster offensively |
Dragon | Ice | 0,5 | ice only resists itself and arguably the weakest defensive type; dragon should be slightly nerfed |
Dragon | Normal | 2 | normal is a pretty lame typing (offensively and defensively); dragon is only super effective against itself and normal beings are no match for dragons |
Poison | Dragon | 2 | nerfing dragon type; poison is only super effective against grass and poisoning a dragon seems to be a good strategy against dragons |
Normal | Dark | 2 | making normal type more exciting; darkness cannot corrupt a kind soul (most normal types seem to be friendly); dark is already a good typing and buffed with neutrality towards steel |
Dark | Normal | 0,5 | making normal type more exciting; darkness cannot corrupt a kind soul (most normal types seem to be friendly); dark is already a good typing and buffed with neutrality towards steel |
