it melts rocks. It melts mountains. You need physical damage to melt mountains, yet it melts them. On the other hand it doesn't null the durability of pokemon, thus they have resistance

Again, that is a SINGLE, especially powerful Charizard (The one from Team A.C.T.), in a spinoff.

That's after the fact. You don't call it a resistance because you got better/fought off the sickness, you get the resistance afterwards. Like how you only get chicken pox once.
We all have a little reactive adaptation~!

i don't give a F they still melt boulders even based on descriptions from the pokedex. That's still 900C. The g-max charizard has an output of nearly 2000C. Centiskorch's body is 815C. Heatmor is literally stated to be capable of melting Durant, aka 1500C.
Heatran is steel fire and is partially melted because of his own constant heat. Magmortar has a heat output of nearly 2000C and it's pre-evolution's body temperature alone is 1200C. The air around quilava is superheated (over 100C) and Thyplosion's body temperature alone is enough to set anything on fire instantly. I also don't think i need to remind you of Macargo who's 10000C. Pokemon who aren't fire types fight these bad boys every day and yet their inner liquids and body don't get vaporized despite the fact that water contact with macargo is enough to cover a large area in deep fog.

Fuel to the fire.. Heh.. Puns
The fact that things in Pokemon don't just burst into flames from being near these fire types just goes to show that Pokemon is playing fast and loose with physics. Magcargo and Camerupt are nearly twice as hot as the sun at 18000 degrees. Ultra Necrozma is as hot as the sun at 10000 degrees, etc etc. You can casually be around these things and not even start sweating. Heat in Pokemon just works entirely differently. And Melting boulders can't really compare to getting through a Pokemon's durability. Pokemon are tougher than rocks. Once again. Def and SpDef.
Frankly, I'm waiting for humans in Pokemon to be given 7-A durability and resistance to heat at this point since humans have taken enraged attacks from Pokemon and survived.

Fire types can control their body heat

Maybe some Pokemon just have passive limited Physics Manipulation that prevents them from causing environmental damage. Cuz Pokemon like Magcargo die if they get cooler.

Macargo could just make the outside of their body cooler

heat. is. not. durability.
It hasn't been durability since every 9-B character got nuked because being near lava stopped being AP. Touching Macargo makes your hand get set on fire and that just means you've resistance too since humans are consistently shown to survive flames, electricity, poison, acid ect.

The manga one? It clearly states that Sceptile would not have not been able to withstand a direct hit, and that the skill "misses" the opponent if they are one level higher. Your scan proves the opposite of what you're arguing. Also stop asking me to prove the complete obvious.
Your argument is that Pokemon with affection points can shake off status conditions and that is resistance? My argument is that they're affected exactly the same way, only that they're able to get rid of the status effect afterwards.
It's proven to be a normal occurence to snap out of it because every time it's been used the affected party has been able to snap out of it. The latter part is baseless, I've already said what you'd need to do in order to prove it.

It didn't literally miss, just not work. And if you don't wanna prove it, then I can ignore it because hitchens razor
So you agree they can get rid of it and have the strength to fight it off
Every time a Pokemon does it. A normal human can't have the strength to snap out of something like that

"Sheer Cold is a skill that will miss if the opponent is even one level higher". Your own scan says this word for word. Also, hitchens razor is a fundamentally flawed argument.
I always did. That's healing/purification, not resistance.
Prove it

I'll slowly add the accepted stuff, its the status effect resistances that were rejected mostly

Well, so what exactly was accepted tho?

I believe Pokémon resistances increase as they level up.
It's been very consistent
But they do.....
That's exactly why levels exist.

This is extremely silly.
Pokémon RESIST it. It's not an inconsistency with Pokémon not being affected lol
Levels increase resistance to things in general anyway

The result of absolute zero is that of death. Pokémon tank it and some do not even faint= Resistances
Ice types are straight up immune
Dynamax straight up sneeze AZ away.
And this is ABSOLUTE ZERO we're talking about
- 17,227
- 12,664
Yeah and i believe that limited resistance to AZ is important here

I think it was agreed upon. The main thing discussed is heat res

This is a very weak argument. Humans are VERY aware of how dangerous Pokémon are, in relation to themselves. Scientists literally go around carrying out research and they know a Charizard heat can indeed melt things
Yes. Scientists discovered. It's valid. What's your point?
Okay, does that disprove what the scientists discovered about the specific Pokémon outside game mechanics and conveniences?
Because anything not related to the story, or plot somehow, cannot really be taken as any indication
We don't scale Raticate to Zamazenta just because your Zamazenta was beaten in the wild by a Raticate
They don't. Pokémon are simply resistant to these things
Take one good look at the fire types Pokédex entries
These things were not written by amateurs, nor were they fanfic.
There's lore there. Pokémon and humans were once the same.
In fact many humans can tap into and use powers, just like Pokémon if they wanted to.
If anything, it's the nature of humans in the Pokémon world to resist these things and not an inconsistency. Lol.
Sheer Cold is AZ, it will kill any human outside of the verse no excepttion

As far as i heard there was some discussion regarding the fact that certain tiers will give you some level of heat resistance.
Anyways, Macargo's heat is irrelevant here as fiction allows that kind of stuff, as otherwise Natsu Dragneel would melt everything around him just by using fire once
