>>20519611Rocks bounce off steel, break ice, can be shattered and are a solid mass, with some becoming diamonds or crystals which can absorb and emit light and electricity.
Ground includes soil, mud, sand, all loose particles made from unpure and unfiltered materials. Water changes its state immediately, bugs burrow through it, it can weather down stone and steel with ease, it is easily brocken apart by ice and electricity does nothing to it (except in some cases where it turns into glass). Its basically already the Earth type.
Rocks would be found in volcanoes, or deep underground. Ground would be found in deserts, or forests where plants grow from it.
Rocks are cold and lifeless whereas the Ground holds nutrients for life.
You see what I'm getting with this? I know it seems like a decent solution thematically and to help aid those poor Rock/Ground dual types, but then we might as well get rid of Ice so those solo Ice
types wont be hindered by their ass defences.
