Physical vs rock

Anyone else think physical moves should do little damage to rock types? I mean it only makes sense that smacking or slashing a rock isn't very effective...

I agree 100%, go slash a rock outside with a knife and see what happens. LOL

the weak/strong element isn't in place but all rock monsters already have high physical defence.

But physical moves is a large variety, if erupting springs a physical move did nothing to a rock type which is supposed to be effective against, rock types would be overpowered.

What he meant by physical moves is actually the Neutral skills. Like Slash, Claw, Infliction, etc. Which there are many of those yes. However If you look at the Rock skills, its the shortest list, and no DOT skills like fire or poison. There is fissure but it doesnt do much damage compared to flame or poison.

Realistic-wise , the idea is good.

but sadly , the Physical Types already has a Disadvantage of Not Hitting(Totally No Damage at all) Ghosts , they Don't have Advantage on Another type , so it doesn't really need this Nerf ATM.

Maybe in the Future , if we have more types.

granted a nerf right now isnt called for, but its something I think needs an adjustment. Why are Ghost types the only ones that have an immunity from another element? I know the thinking, they are Ghosts, but that would mean any physical attack (avalanche, water jets, pyroblast) shouldnt damage a ghost. Then psychics, shouldnt they be able to for see an attack and dodge way more then any other element?

Philosiraptor much?

Firstly , it's the disadvantage of totally not having a weakness.
Saying that ghosts should'nt be damaged physically due to their intangibility, then they should not be able to hold any items.
Also, being psychic doesn't always mean mind readers or future predictors, sometimes it's the ability to move an object with the powerful mind.

Going Philosiraptor,
Water droplet should not damage blazing monsters, cause a droplet of water would simply evaporate before contact.
