When using weapons, the weapon being used does matter for not just the chance to hit(aka attack roll) but also for the damage roll(aka what you roll for damage). You're a Ranger with a Shortbow right now. That's an Agility based weapon with a range of Far(12 squares so any target that isn't behind an obstruction can be hit up to 12 squares away) and has a Damage modifier of D6 +3.
That means when making an attack roll, you roll your Duality Dice and add your Agility modifier(+2) to the roll because the Bow is an Agility weapon. On success, you then roll a D6 based on your Proficiency(which for level 1 is just 1). Proficiency determines the number of D6 dice you roll and will become 2 at level 2, 3 at level 5 and 4 at level 8. You can further upgrade Proficiency via level-up two more times(soft-cap of 6) but can only do so at Tier 3(levels 5-7) and Tier 4(levels 8-10). At level 1, you'd roll a single D6 but at level two, you'd roll 2D6(two D6 dice). Take the result of your D6 roll(say 5) and add 3 to get 8 Physical damage.
Swapping to Daggers changes three things. 1) Your attack range decreases from Far to Melee(1 square), your trait swaps from Agility to Finesse(you have +1 here I think?), hence you'd have a different Trait bonus on Attack rolls. 3) Your Damage will change to D8 +3(+2 of that comes from secondary Small Dagger). Number of D8 dice depends on Proficiency, which when you evolve(at level 5) would be three so 3D8 +3 or you get 4 + 6 + 4 = 14 + 3 = 17 damage. That assumes you hit because you won't benefit from Agility but instead your Finesse.
Granted I'm using Tier 1 Weapon examples. You could get Tier 2 or maybe Tier 3 hardware by the time you evolve. The only thing that changes is the +damage modifier, not the damage dice(aka D6 or D8). So a Tier 3 Shortbow still uses D6 but the bonus goes from +3 to +9.

Baseball gear @Hades0918 took them long enough. You'd think with Casey in Johto being a fan of Team Electabuzz that they'd have done this before now(if they have im unaware of it). If they had Team Vulpix I might cry 🙅
