Because clay is made from ground, not rock.

And >>27793866 had the point. Rock and Ground should be the same fucking type.

We shouldn't have either, they should both be combined into the earth or mineral type

but having ground over rock makes more sense than having rock over ground

During Gens 1 & 2 I felt it was clearly
>Ground = ability to dig/manipulate the earth
>Rock = being made out of minerals
Baltoy and Claydol kind of fucking that up. And now that Normal is being more liberally applied to dual types it's also blurring the "regular land animals" line.

Sand isn't made of rocks, and Baltoy/Claydol and Golett/Golurk were made of clay which also isn't made of rock.

>gamefreak insists on making rock/ground and rock/steel types with 200+ base defense and 55 base attack

rock is one of the most fucked over types next to ice

The difference between Rock and Ground is extremely arbitrary. Basically if the Pokemon is more brown than grey it's Ground, and it's Rock if vice versa.
