This is probably how the stone tablet became a clay tablet. Reminder that the only new ground-types in Sword and Shield are Silicobra, Sanaconda, and Runerigus.

Meanwhile Kalos had three Bug-types, two Poison-types, and two Ground-types. Game Freak fucking suck at type distribution.

Maybe they don't want to give the SpDef sandstorm boost on a Pokemon with high defenses, 2 immunities, and no 4x weakness.

You know, I never got that. Every sand-based attack other than Sandstorm is Ground type, and most Pokemon associated with sand are also Ground type, yet Sandstorm only gives a buff to Rock types.

It's because Rock is slightly shitty whereas Ground is incredibly strong.

Rock is shit defensively, especially on the special side, despite gen 1 material treating as "the rock hard defensive type." So I guess it was there way of trying to fix that without messing with the type chart.

Since Tyranitar was the first Pokemon with Sand Stream I assumed it's meant to represent chunks of debris scattering about as a monster rampages. Also I always forget that weather debuted in Gen 2, just like terrains & Gen 6.

It got +22 from retconning the first 5 gens, though. That's more than what Dragon and Ghost had after 4 gens.

Even Game Freak couldn't tell you that. Note how after 23 years there is not a single official description of what defines any type? It's all determined on a case by case basis.

In general Ground is more of a "behavioral" type like Flying, Fighting, and Dark, while Rock is pretty much exclusively a "physical property" type like Steel and Bug (if you consider "being revived from fossils" a physical property). Ground does occasionally manifest as a physical property type (Palossand, Claydol, Golurk, Runerigus) or an "elemental" type like Water, Fire, and Electric (think Groudon and Landorus).

The closest we have are the Poke Job descriptions.

Ground
>Solid, steady Ground-type Pokémon provide the ideal foundation to build cars upon! Let's build cars together!
>The dirt dictates how well plants do. We ask Ground-type Pokémon to come and help us create fertilizer.
>We are building teams that will assemble our railcars. We're looking for Ground-type Pokémon to help us out.
>We need to level the ground where we're planning to do construction. We really need Ground-type Pokémon to help us out!
>We'd really appreciate getting solid Pokémon that are really well-grounded to help us lug some big luggage.
>We need Pokémon that know a lot about the ground, since we're trying to mine the ore here in the Galar region. Please send Ground types!
>I'd like to do a proper survey of the land condition before we begin construction. Are there Pokémon that could help me out?

And the Rock ones are pretty obvious.

You do realize all the ground is just the result of rocks eroding? and some rocks come from sand sticking together?

It's actually retarded to make them different types logic-wise.

Yes but when you suggest that Ground and Rock should be merged you get a bunch of autistic fanboys insisting that it makes PERFECT sense for them to be separate types.

It may have zero runes, but at least it has the Ygdryr dragon.

What I wonder is about the idea of “ghost ground” typing being a reference to the Runestone rendering the whole area around it as “cursed land.” I don’t think Ground refers to the tablet—I think it refers to the ghost. It is a Ground ghost, haunting the region by making crops unable to grow and bringing disasters and pestilence.
