gen 2 sucks

No and you’re gay.

I wouldn’t go that far, but scald should a) get a nerf to either it’s burn rate or BP and b) get the defog/knockoff treatment with significantly reduced distribution

It seems like nobody learns scorching sands, why does like every water type learn scald?

Pisses me off that the only other fire move with the same rate of burn is a Sacred Fire.
Water and ground moves have better burn odds than fucking fire moves.

Lava plume

It’s seriously insane that scald has 80BP 100ACC

>It seems like nobody learns scorching sands,
Because Scorching Sands was made so CHARIZARD's could have ground coverage, giving it to more mons would make CHARIZARD overshadowed

It's fine and balanced because Water CHADS deserve it.

For one Scorching Sands is weaker at only 70BP, another problem is Ground is a more offensive and known for it's physical attackers while Water is more defensive and usually special attackers.

ice beam shouldn't have been learnable by every water type under the sun.

Ice is just water with extra steps.

That actually makes perfect sense, though.
Heat takes time to burn you. That's why you can swipe your hand through a fire or put out a fire with your fingertips and not get burnt.
But you can't just quickly dip your finger in boiling water and be fine because some drops will stay on and transfer their heat into you.
Lava Plume and Scorching Sands also work under this logic. Lava is liquid and will stay on your body. Sand is a bunch of tiny solids that are hard to get off before they have a chance to burn you.

>It seems like nobody learns scorching sands
No, it just has few users because almost no Ground type has usable special attack. You want to run around using Scorching Sands Hippowdon and doing no damage to the Pokémon you're supposed to check?

>only poison types should lear toxic

I defiantly would have hid volcanion in the back somewhere rather than placing him front and center

>Only fire types should learn scald, with a few specific exception for water types

No, Watertypes should learn icebeam OR scald. not both.

i think the weird part is that in pokemon, burns don't work like an irl burn but your mon literally gets set on fire and keeps burning every turn. hot water just doesn't do that

Just decrease the burn chance to 5%

New distribution is ok, what poison should get is every normal poison moves should become badly poison when used by poison mon.
That would give amazing boost for poison gas in doubles.

or they just let pokemon get over burn in a couple of turns

idiot.
All it needs is being 5 pp
Same with icebeam but it needs rised freezing chance

That's not how boiling water works. Try to dip your hands in a boiling water 100 times and then count how many times you get burn
