ITT we list typing matchups that thematically make little to no sense
>Bug attacks are 1/2 versus Fighting, Fairy, and Flying types
>Psychic attacks are super effective versus Poison types
>Grass attacks 1/2 versus Bug, Grass, and Flying types
>Water attacks are not 1/2 versus Ice

Bug vs fist, who wins

Bug vs bird, who wins

Bug, a weak nonmagic creature, vs magical creature..

Psychics can remove the poison without touching it, can divert it away from themselves, or force it to affect the one creating it.

LEAF VS CATERPILLAR

Plants might outcompete for shit, but they don't really physically harm each other

Birds literally just use plants. To nest, to build nests, woodpeckers be wilin

Ice is fragile. Put ice in your drink Anon, what happens (albeit slowly).

the only ones here that make no sense are Poison being bad again Psychich and Water not sharing the NVE matchup against Ice.
Considering Psychic equates to the mind and it’s main weaknesses are all common fears and phobias, there’s no reason why it also wouldn’t crumble to poison type. Poison kills the mind.

Bug and Fighting resiting one another has to do with toku series. In Japan bugs have a "heroic" image to them, just look at kamen rider. Thus is why bpth fighting and bug are super effective against dark and resist one another, they're "equals".

- bugs would have a hard time piercing the rough skin of a hardened martial artist. Probably same with feathers/scaly bird skin
- you’re right that Bug should never have been NVE vs Fairy
- Psychic is SE against Poison because of “mind over matter”; basically a thematic representation of placebo effect
- plants wouldn’t fare too well trying to harm bugs/birds/other plants with saps, powders, whipping vines, etc. The only exception would be flytraps vs bug, and wood-themed moves
- Ice should probably resist Water, sure.

>Psychic attacks are super effective versus Poison types
They can detect when there is poison and avoid it. You can't give them a poisoned cup and expect them not to notice. I've seen more than one mystery that brought up this concept
>Grass attacks 1/2 versus Bug
Locust, aphids, and other small bugs can decimate crops if left unchecked.

>Bug attacks are 1/2 versus Fighting, Fairy, and Flying types
Fighting types are too tough to be bothered by mere bugs
Fairy types have control over nature so bugs are their servants
Flying types eat bugs so of course the prey wouldn't manage to go against the predator
>Psychic attacks are super effective versus Poison types
Psychic types use intelligence and science to come up with antidotes for poisons
>Grass attacks 1/2 versus Bug, Grass, and Flying types
Bugs and Birds eat plants, same logic as the Flying-Bug one
>Water attacks are not 1/2 versus Ice
Water makes ice melt quicker at room temperature

The only one that doesn't really make sense is the Grass-Grass matchup, but that's just because all former "special" types except dragon were NVE against themselves for some reason

Apparently neither because Fighting is 1/2 against Bug

Both Bug and Fighting are the hero types so they shouldn't fight each other
