I understand it's the most plentiful type, and it's considered really strong thanks in part to its homogeneity, but why are so many of them functionally similar? Almost all of them get Ice Beam and Scald while being given decent bulk. Scald feels like something that should be more closely tied with specific physiology. I'm always really curious about how GameFreak decides to balance types on a micro level, beyond their rigid matchup chart. Like Electric types generally having poor coverage.
