>>44567173>>44567173>Three extremely prolific weaknesses isn't enough?Fire- Purely prolific because of Steel. Bug is shit, Ice is Shit, and noone even ran it as coverage before the introduction of Steel. Steel. STAB or lucky burns was all it was good for in Gen 1.
Fighting- Good mons, but being good against steel is what really sets the type itself apart. Rocktypes are by and large rare, normal is rare, Dark is more common now than it used to be but was fairly bad, Ice is a rare type at higher levels. Having as many effectivenesses as it has is a boon too, I guess.
Ground is a strong type that hits a few good types hard, so I'll give you this one.
