Because theming, and fighting is too good to be accessible like that.

earthquake is the only one without drawbacks of any kind and its distribution makes up for that

Because the game is not even remotely balanced.

Theming my ass, where the fuck did Stealth Rock come from? It doesn't exist. Nothing resembling Stealth Rock exists in nature. If it was theming there wouldn't be so many moves which are identical copies of other moves but with a different type.

I dunno, though, there's an entire type immune to fighting, too.

>what is ghost types
my point is that the only high damage fighting move is a special attack with low accuracy

Fighting is just too good to not have drawbacks on high powered moves. All physical type moves have drawbacks since they have great coverage naturally that makes physical walls inherently weaker than special walls. Ground is feast or famine with so many immunities and resists. Fighting lowers stats or has recoil. Rock has no accuracy. Ghost has no power. Bug has all those problems separately. etc.

I'm going to play Devil's advocate here and say it's based on all of the stories you hear about people falling to their deaths on the rocky shores of sea cliffs.

But seriously. Fuck sneaky sediment.

Do you mean without drawbacks? Because
>Close Combat
>Super Power
>Drain Punch
>Aura Sphere
And there are quite a few technician mach punch users.

you compared levitate to ghost types who have an immunity to fighting, when the correct comparison would be flying types.
