You'd think we'd get a creepy black widow / Orb Weaver spider by now.

Never heard of her.

Grass is weak to poison (bulbasaur line, and many others).

Poison is weak to ground (nidoking and nidoqueen).

Rock is weak to ground (geodude line, onix, rhyhorn line)

Rock is weak to water (Omanite and kabuto lines)

Flying is weak to Rock (aerodactyl)

And this is just some gen 1 examples off the top of my head.

Bug/Dark...hmm, what about an assassin bug? It would have to be something predatory, in any case.

Should've been a lot of bugs we already have. GF loves bug/poison so much for some reason.

You can give a dark/bug poison attacks and give it protean as a HA or something for STAB if that's the concern.

An assassin bug or kissing bug with Poison Touch. They would want to run Poison attacks anyway (if they're a sweeper) to dunk on fairies. Protean is broken AF anyway.

To this day, I still say Rapidash should've been Fire/Fairy. Without it, it just is unremarkable. Hell, it's Galarian version is Psychic/Fairy too.

A Scyther evo or regional variant seems like a great Bug/Dark candidate.

Or, alternatively, way more representation. He is the best Pokmon, after all.

...So? As pointed out by others, lots of dual-typed Pokemon have types that are strong or weak against the other. Given how expansive the type chart is, it's all but impossible to avoid.
