Why isn't poison super effective against bug?
Why isn't water super effective against poison?
Why isn't steel super effective against grass?
Why isn't electric super effective against steel?

Posion does kill cockroaches.
Water washes away dirt, and dilutes toxics in general. Though this works the other way around aswell, since industry poisons rivers and shit, and thus poison might aswell be super effective against water.

Disregarding whether these changes make sense, it would imbalance the game even more. Please, Bill.

Because every matchup being super effective or not very effective is dumb as fuck.

Agree on bug. Agree on water, too, but it could be the other way around with the reasoning from here >>18492240 and poison would be effective against water. Water is a pretty good defensive type, so it could take a little debuff.

Also, steel is a fantastic defensive type, atleast it was before gen 6. So it, too, can take one more weakness.

With a weakness to Fighting and Ground, and no resistance to Water, Steel really doesn't need any more dickings.

Because steel is great fucking conductor which means it is basically transparent to electricity.

Why does ghost and fairy resist bug?

Here's a question for you all: Would removing steel's resistance to arguable the three worst types (Grass, bug and Ice) help balance things out?
