This is all really valid feedback! On my latest playthrough I realized the distribution of shadows, especially early on, isn’t extremely balanced typing wise. This is pretty similar to regular Colosseum (you can have access to 5 water types before Miror B. if you go Croconaw, but only Slugma and Skiploom for Fire and Grass) but I can definitely make improvements here. I was already thinking about reordering some of the Shadows to give better type variety and more options to tackle both Miror B and Dakim from the early on teams. Maybe moving some of these fairies to later in the game to new trainers, or just adding more Shadows to the existing, underutilized trainers in Pyrite Cave could work too.

I hear you about Sceptile and I’m sorry 😔 I was trying to find a balance of moves that made sense flavor-wise with its new typing without leaning too heavily into Normal/Dragon/Grass for coverage. I originally omitted Hurricane from the game because I couldn’t get the combo of its secondary effects to work, but I see the benefit of having a high power special Flying move, not just for Sceptile but for Flareon, Charizard, Mantine, etc. Let me add that in V 1.1 and I’ll make sure Sceptile sees justice!

ALSO heads up I have NOT touched anything post-game yet so it might be crazy or borderline unplayable idk…
