Did Type Effectiveness Return?

[Brother AJ]

So do we have any information on whether or not the Pokes retain their elemental weaknesses from Brawl? It’s been bugging the crap out of me. I haven’t been able to find anything through searching, but surely we know by now, right?

It is confirmed not to return. Ivysaurs, rejoice!

That would be awesome if it’s true! Do you have a source?

 

[chaostails7]

You know, I was sure I heard this somewhere, but now I can't find it at all, let alone from a credible source. Sorry about that - confidence withdrawn. I'll come back if I find it again. Hopefully I'm not just spreading baseless rumors.

Update: Okay, found a reliable source that says it's GONE.

Source: Virum, Charizard main who has played Ultimate carefully enough to publish materials on it
Location: 9/23 on the #pokemon_trainer channel in the Charizard discord (which you should join if you haven't already - here's the thread describing it https://smashboards.com/threads/charizard-discord-chat.425655/)

If this is true, this is FANTASTIC news!

I've been wanting to solo-main Ivysaur since the announcement, but the prevalence of fire-based moves scared me a bit. No longer must I worry!

I was actually hearing early on it was back, but I'm glad to hear confirmation from Virum that it's gone, alongside the annoying stamina and long, drawn-out switching.
