How do you interpret the difference between Rock and Ground? I'm really fuckin struggling with some scenes because of how bullshit these types are.
>Sand Attack and Scorching Sands are Ground moves, but Sandstorm and Salt Cure are Rock moves
>Mud Shot is Ground but Tar Shot is Rock
>Bone Club and Precipice Blades are Ground moves despite being bones and rocks respectively
>Stealth Rock is Rock, but Spikes are Ground
>Lava and volcanos are universally associated with fire, but the secondary type is anything from ground, rock, and steel
I'm thinking there's no major distinction and that Gamefreak was just blindfold shooting darts at a board.
