I think that it should be noted if a Pokémon takes additional damage from {{m|Freeze-Dry}} --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 18:26, 20 May 2024 (UTC) | I think that it should be noted if a Pokémon takes additional damage from {{m|Freeze-Dry}} --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 18:26, 20 May 2024 (UTC) | ||
:If we were to implement this idea, I don't think this requires manually editing each Pokémon article. Instead, it is possible to edit the type effectiveness template so it would automatically display the Freeze-Dry information in all articles of Water-type Pokémon. | |||
:However, I think that we haven't been doing this so far because Freeze-Dry simply affects all Water-type Pokémon the same way. The type effectiveness table in Pokémon articles specifically says that it is about "normal battle conditions" rather than what happens when specific moves are used. | |||
:If we started explaining the effects of specific moves like Freeze-Dry in the type effectiveness of every Water Pokémon article, technically it would also be possible to add this to all Pokémon species that are ''not'' Water-type as well: "If this Pokémon is affected by {{m|Soak}}, it becomes a pure Water-type and therefore takes 2× damage from the move Freeze-Dry." In fact, we could technically add the entire Water type effectiveness table in every Pokémon article just in case that Pokémon might be affected by Soak at some point. | |||
:In my opinion, maybe we should check if the [[type]] article is currently good enough to explain all the possible details of type effectiveness, including how certain moves like {{m|Flying Press}}, {{m|Freeze-Dry}}, and {{m|Thousand Arrows}} have different rules. This way we keep all the information together in one place rather than repeating the same thing in hundreds of Pokémon articles. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 23:11, 20 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
