>>42281136>FairyAlien, supernatural humanoid beings, but more so linked with femininity, folklore, and nature than the pure
overwhelming cosmic power of Psychics (however their overlapping themes are evident).
Has no relationship with Ghost/Psychic, which is rather weird.
If Dark is gone then give Fairy an effectiveness over Ghost.
Make Fairy weak to Psychic(if it remains) to create an effectiveness triangle.
Their STAB attacks have always been creatively bankrupt. It seems that Fairy functions better as a body type,
and Psychic as the set of attacks innately available to these creatures.
>GroundUnlike Steel and Rock, this type does not describe the type of Shell a creature has,
rather it used to define thick-skinned bulky beasts (an antithesis to the SKY affiliated frail flying type),
primarily scaley lizards, hence the weakness to Water and Ice. Rarely it is attributed to clay-shelled creatures.
So it is a diversity(instead of part-Normal)-balancing(provides a weakness to Electr) type and a lumbering Beast type of sorts.
So a bulky generic beast can either be Normal, Fighting(some cases), or Ground.
I say lizards should have a more clearly defined type of their own in Ground.
Other underground-desert dwelling creatures can remain, but not the piloswines and the nidos etc.
Their STAB attacks have always been creatively bankrupt. Mostly Sound, Normal, sand and mud attacks, basically Normal&ROCK.
