"Dark type running off the Special Attack stat in Generations 2 & 3 really pissed me off before"

Generation 2 marked the debut of the Dark type as the bane of all the broken Psychic types and making the type immune to all Psychic type moves. However, there was one thing that invoked this topic too much, and that is the Dark type running in the Special Attack stat.Houndour and Houndoom, Umbreon, Murkrow, Sneasel and Tyranitar were the first Dark types to debut in G/S/C. Umbreon is a stone wall, Murkrow and Sneasel are glass cannons, the Houndour line is a beast in Special Attack, and Tyranitar is a mighty glacier among all things pseudo-legendary. The move Bite is now a Dark type, and the moves Faint Attack, Crunch, Beat Up, Thief and Pursuit are introduced. But there was one problem.These moves run on the *Special Attack** stat.*What happened to Murkrow and Sneasel? They have shoddy Special Attack stats, Umbreon lacks any offensive moves anyway, and Tyranitar has an all-around attacking stats. The only thing that can pull this off perfectly was the Houndour line, and that's it. Come Generation 3 and Sharpedo and Absol were introduced, both having neat Attack Stats but the Special Attack stat was so inferior that Tate and Liza and Sabrina from FR/LG are comparatively hard because they spammed Calm Mind for too long. What the hell? As if making Psychic the most powerful type in Generation 1 their mark of blunder wasn't enough, and now this?Thank god G4 wiped up all this mess, otherwise the way types are marked as physical and special were so bad I couldn't help but invoke cheats. Good lord. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/33JE5EY
