>>39922726Electric, is the least important overall. You could just transfer the SE damage to Poison v Water, Ice would be instantly more relevant for SEvFlying etc. it interacts with the least types beside some normal.
Thematically Dark/Evil type is the weakest. Tied with Fighting since human-like activities and things are usually conflated with Normal. Also all Pkmn fight so... it seems about as descriptive and necessary as Breathing or Shitting type would be.
Flying is the most cucked type handsdown. It had one one legendary line that was primary Flying and it took 6 gens despite being gen 1. I'm really happy that this gen seems to be the one were they iron out all of Flying's wrinkles. It's the least developed original type, even having roots in Bird type. It's undeniably one of the first conceived types. Corviknight and Cramorant give me hope for primary Flying being more common. Contrary to some perspectives on vp, type order is important in the design process and isn't arbitrary. Compare Skarmory and Corviknight and it's easy to see why. Psyduck, Ducklett and Cramorant. Or Dragonite and Noivern.
That being said 8 types can be used to explain away "flying" behavior. Grass, Steel, Electric, Fairy, Ghost, Psychic, Ice, and even Bug. And I'm likely missing one or two types 2bh... Flying is not a unique trait but Flying is becoming a more unique type
