This is what I believe would fix the type chart. nb4 Grass & Ice shitposters
reasoning:
- Bug really shouldn't be resisted by Fairy, there's no logic in it and it didn't need a, what, seventh resist? Pretty obvious.
- Shift Fairy's NVE against Fire to Psychic, a type that needs better anything, and thematically makes more sense (the advanced mind would be skeptical of fairy magic etc etc). In return, Psychic also would be super effective against Fairy, to nerf it as a TOO good defensive type and buff the neglected Psychic.
- Having Fairy be neutral against Dragon keeps it true to its intent of being able to block out spammed Outrages and Draco Meteors from pseudos with 130 base whatever attack, while not removing Ice's niche of being able to kill dragons. Simple
- Flying could use a slight nerf, like the one I've shown. Ice still wouldn't be a very much-used type but at least it could hold some defensive ground, and Flying would have to tread a little more carefully.
- Rock should just resist Rock. Everyone always thought it did, and it gives a slight incentive to use SOME Rock pokemon more, at least the ones that are currently part Rock but weak to Sneaky Pebbles
