Besides game rebalance, is there any reason logically that Ghost is weak to itself?

And also Type general.

The only thing to fear is feat itself.

Therefore, ghosts are scared of each other.

Therefore, Ghost is weak to itself.

I thought this, too. I guess it's not an unaccepted idea then.

Ice should not be weak to rock. Make it a little useful.

Would making it resistant to Water and Electric make it at least somewhat viable?

ghost pokes are actualy closer to "gaseous" and while the normal/fighting interaction doesn't make much sense, the ghost vs ghost does because the 2 gaseous form mix together and it's bad for both.

Ghost Pokemon in their realm are the equivalent to Normal Pokemon. Ghost Moves, however, are Fighting in their realm, so fellow ghosts suffer from ghost attacks.

Poison should be SE
Ice should resust
Bam, instant buffs/nerfs.

>Fairy
Why does it resist Bug again? Or Fighting for that matter.
I don't like the Fairy type as it's just sorta hamfistedly shoved into the type chart and only make the balance even more fucked. If anything it should resist Ghost and have no effect on normal.

Fighting, being the bear type, is of course ineffective against Fairy, the twink type.

His ideas for retooling water make sense to me on a technical standpoint, and are believable enough on a concept standpoint.

Poison needs offensive buffs (even though it already got one), Ice needs defensive buffs, Water needs some nerfs.

Grass needs some buffs, so I think it should resist Fairy.

Misdreavus looks like a gas, and Drifloon is a gas-filled baloon. Giratina arguably has gaseous themes, especially if you believe the theory that the creation dragons' typings represent the states of matter. (Steel - Solid, Water - Liquid, Ghost - Gaseous) Ghosts are also seen in some fiction and mythology as behaving like a gas, Ghostbusters being a good example.

This is how I would try to rebalance Ice
>SE on
Dragon
Ground
Flying
Grass
Water
>Resists
Ice
Water
Grass
Electric
>Weak to
Fighting
Fire
Steel
>Resisted by
Fire
Rock
Steel

I like the idea of Ice and Steel being SE on each other but the reasoning for that is silly and implausible.

It makes more sense than Fairy imo
>>17254132
Poison being SE on Fairy sounds nice on paper but most fairy types are frail as shit to begin with, and is also a little redundant with Steel also getting the same buff.

Forgot to add, the Fairies that matter are immune to Poison as well.

Ghosts are incorporeal, so they are most affected by other immaterial things like being mean (Dark) or fellow Ghosts.
