Its counterpart is /ds weak type, not /ds weak to type, and pretty much no other command is written in standard speaking grammar. At least twice now I have fumbled around in commands trying to remember what the syntax for resists is (resist type, type resist, resist=type) only to check the command list and realize "oh, I'm just not adding an S"

It would be best to just make both work imo
I can add it as an alias but I'm not going to outright remove "resists". Additionally, the counterpart argument is somewhat moot since weak was added after resists, so if anything the discussion should be changing "weak" to "weak to". I'm also not fond of the argument for being proper grammar being used because it's a command and literally who cares.
Exactly. It is currently proper grammar (you'd say that "Ferrothorn resists Water" not "Ferrothorn resist Water" though now that I think about it Pokemon are the same singular and plural so both actually make sense) but it has no reason to.
