Worth bringing up - in Japan, insects are culturally seen more positively than they are in the west, with insects like stag beetles being seen as strong, respectable warriors. This is likely a contributing factor to why they're strong against Dark, which is literally "Evil" in the original Japanese.

In answer to your questioning the interaction between steel/water and electric, I think I have an answer. The water type isn't just water itself. Much like the flying type, it also represents the creatures living within it. If a body of water is electrified, most fish living within that body of water will die. So it's not just that water is an excellent conductor, it's that the fish inside the water are vulnerable to it as well

Steel isn’t weak to Electric because while metal is a great conductor of electricity, it wouldn’t really get damaged by the electricity passing through it. Whereas, with Water type, if you were to use an Electro Ball on an animal that is almost always soaking wet, it’s gonna take some damage. If anything, Steel should be more likely to get paralyzed, since the electricity passes all around the body of the Pokémon. Similar to how Water types are more likely to get frozen

@@melodicthings8833 You watched MatPat? Cause he talked about that in an episode about the legitimacy of electric attacks. Lighting go for taller objects since there's less resistance and distance to cover. The more the distance meaning the more resistance it has to break through which is why taller objects like trees or building are likely to get struck, because there's less distance to cover. This rationalise the notion that you shouldn't stay under a tree when there's heavy rain, when I was younger I always thought staying under a tree protected you from it with its covering branches. Turns out that isn't the case.

In most fantasy stuff, fairies live among bugs and insects because they are small like fairies. Like for example you always see butterflies also associated with fairies. So since fey live in nature with lots of bugs it makes sense that they know how they work and to defend against them. Also another reason is because sometimes fairies are seen as half-bug and half-human like how fairies have butterfly wings for example

There are some rubberlike pokemons too like Woffbuffet, Grumpig, Jellicent, spoink, Ditto, Swalot etc. Rubberlike things are very common in our life.

Thinking of slightly changing some resistances for my own project. Truly, it's all in the name of balancing the types in general. These aren't even all my original ideas - I'm not that good - but here are the reasonings behind them. Tell me what you think? Giving Bug resistance to Fairy - implying the two are natural rivals Giving Bug resistance to Psychic - referring to the hivemind nature of bugs Giving Bug immunity to Confusion - same hivemind argument Taking Fairy's resistance to Bug - expounding on the two being rivals Giving Ice resistance to Water - cold can freeze water before it thaws ice Giving Ice resistance to Flying - expounds on ice's existing threat to flying Giving Ice immunity to Burning - ice can melt but ice does not burn Taking Fire's resistance to Ice - ice can douse a fire Giving Grass resistance to Fairy - fairy magic does not harm plants Taking Dragon's resistance to Grass - grass being the most physical of the elemental types Giving Dragon resistance to Normal - pretty self-explanatory Giving Dragon strength against Steel - makes dragon, steel and fairy a type triangle Giving Normal resistance to Dragon - less self-explanatory, idea is dragon magic does not harm regular animals

@GeorgeDCowley 6 ай бұрын

I had some ideas: Make bug and fairy and bug and grass resist each other (all friends, but bugs still eat grass) Make Ice and water neutral against each other (same reasoning as yours). Steel is weak to electric (conduction) Ice actually can burn. And if you want to be really wild, water's weak to fire (fire evaporates water, like it melts ice. You could also play with dark and fighting.

TVTropes explained Fairy a bit better. Copypasting from their Fridge Logic page on the types: 'Dazzling Gleam'? 'Charm'? 'Play Rough'? 'Disarming Voice'? What is this nonsense? Well, Fairy-type attacks involve the Pokémon using its beauty, charm, and feminine wiles to throw the opponent off guard. It's about being able to attack the opponent while giving off the guise of being harmless and innocent. Hell, 'Play Rough' is essentially beating the crap out of the opponent under the facade of 'playing' with them. So when you think about it... the Fairy type and the Dark type are two sides of the same coin. Both use manipulative tactics to their advantage, but the Fairy type is more subtle about it. Fairy beating Dark isn't just a matter of light driving out darkness... it's a matter of using one's charisma and guile to beat the dirty thugs at their own game. This also explains why the Fairy type is strong against Fighting. Martial artists are often taught to only use their strength for self-defense, and not to victimize innocent people. Thus, they'd naturally be inclined to hold back against the seemingly innocent Fairy type.

I've always felt that Ice should have some resistances, but it was so overpowered offensively in Gen 1 that they had to offset it. I think Ice could resist Flying because birds and planes are weak in frozen temperatures. Grass too because plants can't grow in the tundra. Even Bug because virtually no insects live in frozen conditions. Honestly, Ice could resist Fairy too because why not? If fairies are weak in the extreme heat (Fire-types), then wouldn't they be weak in the extreme cold too?

Ghost and Normal can't affect each other: In my mind, normal types are the pokemon which most closely resemble humans, which can't interact with ghosts. Therefore, Normal types too, cannot interact with ghosts. Dragon Ghost, because ghosts can touch each other, so a ghost slapping another ghost would hurt them. Rock > Flying. You can kill two birds with one stone. Dark > Ghost, good spirits can become evil spirits. Steel > Fairy. In many stories, metal can harm or even burn fairies at the touch. Dragon resists Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric, yet is weak to Ice because dragons are reptilian and cold-blooded. Poison is not very effective against ghost because spirits have no body to poison. Water drowns out Fire, Rock and even solid Ground. Fire can be extinguished by throwing water, sand or rocks on it. Water type weaknesses electric, grass. * Plants absorb water * Electricity flows through water and kills everything in it Grass's weaknesses: fire, ice, bug, flying, poison. * What are the things that can hurt a plant? Plants are weak to extreme weather conditions (fire, ice), bugs and birds eating them, and poison. Ice's weaknesses: fire, rock, steel, fighting. Fighting weaknesses: psychic, flying, fairy. * If you rely on pure strength only, you can be easily outsmarted (psychic) * A fighter can't throw punches at a flying target, while the bird can pick it's moment and strike (flying) * Fairy represents the forces of nature and ageing has the most detrimental effect on a fighter's abilities (fairy) Poison's weaknesses: Ground, Psychic. * The earth absorbs the poison. * While the body can be poisoned, the mind is something meta-physical and has the upper hand over poison. Ground's weaknesses: Grass, Water, Ice. Dragon's weaknesses: Dragon, Fairy, Ice.

I always thought of Dark being weak to Bug being because some bugs produce their own light. Volbeat is based off of such bugs. Also Water being weak to Electric is not because of conductivity, since Steel would follow similar logic, but due to hydrolysis, the process of splitting water into its elemental components via electricity. I hope this enlightened you and the viewers, Mikey

I think TvTropes has the best explanation on why Steel doesn't resist Dark: someone fighting with underhanded tactics would aim for the weakest point in an armor suit.

Actually, through most fairies do outclass dragons when it comes to magic, fairy magic is awful in combat, good for evading, and excellent for healing. So the fairies will be able to dodge all attacks from dragons. Some dragons wield magic in a way different than others. Some dragons use magic but cannot quite control it in say the way a mage can. Most dragons don’t have magic in general. Sure, they are classified as magic, but think if they actually existed, they wouldn’t be considered magic wielders except for those few (See: Animus Dragons)

Bugs are seen as more heroic and powerful in Japanese culture, and bug noises are even seen as soothing. This leaves two reason for why bugs are effective against Dark. Bugs are heroic in Japan, and heroics are effective against underhanded tactics OR the soothing presence of bugs can nullify fear. I lean more towards the former. As for poison and ground, radioactive and otherwise toxic materials like pathogens and diseases can be contained by burying them, which is why ground is effective against poison and also resists it.

Fun fact: Back in Gen 1, Bug and Poison were supereffective against each other. Poison beating Bug would make sense, insecticides are a common way to kill bugs after all. It's also odd that Poison doesn't beat Water, since pollution can be very toxic to fish and other sea creatures. Steel should be super effective against Dragon due to stories of knights in shining armor defeating Dragons with swords, lances, or arrows.
