Why are Deerling and Sawsbuck part Normal-type? If it's because they're not made of plant matter like most Grass-types, shouldn't Ponyta and Rapidash be Fire/Normal?

I think Helioptile makes the most sense as being part normal type because it doesn't make electricity naturally without an outside source. So in a way it sorta makes sense. Also normal/flying makes decent sense too because flying types aren't in the air all the time. For the others, no clue.

Moreover, why is gastly/haunter/gengar part poison? They don't benefit from it at all, has anyone ever hit a grass type with a STAB poison attack using Gengar? No, nobody likes a poison subtype.

I think it was an after-the-fact decision to nerf the line like >>12325199 said. Like, perhaps Sugimori was told to make it passable as a Poison-type so he surrounded it with purple gas.

Because they are deers and deers are normal ass pokemons. No, cause Ponyta and Rapidash are fire unicorns, they're not normal.

>>12325137
Cause Normal is for normal animals.

>>12325178
Because they are made out of poisonous gas.

No, they shouldn't. You have plenty of pure ghosts already.

We have two OU ghosts atm, with the power creep gengar and jellicent will probably be relegated to UU with gen 6, ghost is a great type that is always neglected by GF

So what? Tiers are based upon popularity, not straight usefulness.

tell that to Crobat, Roserade, Venusaur, and Tentacruel

They all benefit from the fighting/grass resistances the type provides
