Adding a new type at this point would just be messy, so a sort of solution would be adding moves that are a new typing, powerful moves that have unique type effectiveness but you just don't get STAB on it.

Any move ideas?

adding a move-exclusive type is completely pointless when they can just implement move-specific type effectiveness like with moves like freeze dry
the entire reason they'd want to add a new type in the first place is to allow the creation of new designs that wouldn't have worked with the preexisting types, so there's no benefit to going through all of the trouble of implementing a brand new type with new type matchups only to relegate it to a few gimmick moves

Rubber seems half-decent but I can't imagine it being effective against any type really.

I can see it resisting fighting, steel, and electric though. Maybe being weak to poison and ice as well

I think the current types are mostly fine execept the Fairy type needs to be rebalanced.

Defensively, Fairy should be changed to be weak to Normal.

Offensively, Fairy should not affect Ghost and be not very effective against Normal.

I also think the Steel type should regain its resistances to Ghost and Dark.

Anon...don't even get a job in this sorta field..
Literally none of what you said makes sense.

Pretty sure a Fairy with magical powers would have a very big advantage over boring, plain, nothing special Joe.

Every type has a strength and weakness for a reason, none of yours have a reason.

Fixed. Everything else is superfluous trash.
