new ground type:
SE vs Flying and Electric
NVE vs Dragon, Water, Grass

Water, Grass are SE
Fighting are still SEon many mons because a lot of ground type would get normal type for cool stab
>Onix becomes Ground/Normal

They should follow the pre XY TCG types and merge few types under groups:
1.Normal/Flying/Dragon
2.Bug/Grass/Poison
3.Fighting/Rock/Ground
4.Psychic/Ghost/Fairy
5.Dark
6.Fire
7.Water/Ice
8.Electric
9.Steel

Ground and Rock being separate types became redundant when we started getting Ground-types "made of Ground" like Claydol. Before that it seemed like a clear divide that Rock described a physical property (made of minerals or revived fossil) while Ground described behaviour and/or habitat.

Rock and Ground could easily be the same type.

Fairy did jackshit against Dragon and only broke Fighting instead. Also took over Ice’s only role. Fairy ended up being the new Dragon.

I kind of agree, though personally I'd put Ghost with Dark and Ground/Rock with Steel (yes I know how the TCG does it, but that's mostly for colour purposes). I also think Flying has been gaining enough of an identity beyond "winged animals" that it can be its own type.
