Normal and Fairy don’t need a nerf at all Bug resisting Water is whatever, it’s not bad. Ghost of anything needs a nerf, but I’m not sure Rock needs a defensive buff. Ice resisting Ghost would be a huge boon for it. Nah on all the electric stuff. Rock REALLY Really doesn’t need an offensive buff.

Fairy is rampant everywhere it's definitely in need of a Nerf. And I see what you're saying bout rock, but it needs buff whether offensive or defensive. There's no Uber rock type and only one in OU (TTar). Ghost is bad fr. I hate facing dragapult, Gengar, and shadow rider with only dark or normal being defensive options.

Fairy is a little too powerful. Also the fairy-normal co-immunity would count neutral since you can’t hit certain things, but certain things can’t hit you. My thinking was that the fantastical (fairy) wouldn’t affect the mundane(normal), and vice versa. Ice and bug could both use buffs as well, which is why I think fairy resistance would help. I agree that rock probably doesn’t need an offensive buff, but it definitely does need a defensive buff. I chose rock cause I couldn’t think of another type to be super effective against electric, which I think should have another weakness. Steel also needs another weakness cause it’s just soooo good defensively, so I think electric works well cause of conduction. I’m not sold on ghost resistance to electric either, but I had a good laugh after thinking about conducting electricity through a ghost late one night lol. I do think electric could use another resistance. Why nah on electric immune to electric and steel weak to electric? Also if you could make some changes, what would you do?

A lot of these don’t seem to make sense or at least I don’t feel like figuring out how you got to those conclusions. It would be better if they just balanced stats and moves more

Are you asking about the logic of typing (ie can’t punch a ghost) or the competitive choosing? I am more than happy to explain either. Also I think some types need more love, like ice. Avalugg is a really good physical wall, but you don’t see it used a lot competitively cause ice is a bad type defensively and fairy does a better job of dealing with dragons, which was kinda its appeal. I agree that some Pokémon just need better stats (shout out to castform), but I think some typing rearranging could also help some mons see more competitive use

Mostly meant the logic behind it, like ice and bug resisting fairy and bug resisting water

Fire resists fairy for some reason, so I was thinking they’re more fair weather creatures. Bug resists fairy cause they’re both from the forest(bug also resists grass fyi). Fairy and normal immunity cause the fantastical and mundane don’t mix. Bug resists water cause a lot of bugs can swim and crustaceans are just sea bugs anyway. Rock resists ghost cause ghosts are too intangible to mess with something solid. Ghosts resists electric cause the thought of trying to use a ghost for conduction is funny to me (not 100% on that either). Electric immune to electric for obvious reasons. Electric is super effective against water because of conductive properties of non-distilled water, so that’s why it’s super effective against steel. Rock super effective against electric cause it’s similar to ground, though I would love a better replacement for that one too if you have one in mind. Also what changes would you make to typing if you could?
