Trying to figure out which matchups make sense, I asked myself: "What's the justification for a Fire type's weaknesses?"


>Water
>Rock
>Sand,Mud

These are methods to put out a passive fire. These would in no way affect a fire breather more than other creatures. Defensively ? sure, they may resist fire, but defeat it? How many literal flame mons have we had? None.


And so I followed that trail of thought, separating attack types from body types.
Attack types include poison and sound, as they wouldn't change a creature's physiology. At the rare occation that it does, a signature attribute is granted. For example muk would be an aquatic/field type with acid armor attribute.

Body types can characterise the environment they live in. Ground or Dessert type includes lizards which are weak to cold, but resistant to heat.
