Of which one, Ice, was generally fairly weak outside of its usage as a Dragon check. Dragon more than makes up for its lack of SE damage with the simple fact Dragon types have the highest BST of all types, and are able to brute force their way through the lack of SE multipliers a lot of the time. There’s a reason GF introduced Faerie types in the first place; because Dragon was OP and had been since gen 1.
Psychic isn’t really a gamebreaking powerhouse anymore because they fixed the broken code that prevented Ghosts from damaging them properly, and they’ve added Ghost types that can actually hit hard. Prior to Gen 4, the only useful Ghost types were Gengar and Dusklops. And Dusklops was mostly only useful as a staller/setup. Psychics still have great stats on average, but I was mostly referring to Gen 1-3 where they were bordering on OP.
