Bug is now weak to steel. Bug types are so obviously overpowered and it's stupid to act like a bug wouldn't be hurt really bad if it got hit by a chunk of metal. Down with the bug conspiracy, buff the long suffering steel type!

Pokemon can have double of the same type.

Dunsparce is the only one to have it.

It is Normal/Normal.

This, but instead of reversing it I want it to completely randomize the elemental chart. So everything's RNG, you have no idea what is weak to what.

I've played a few fangames that do that.

Like they expand the Field Effects and make their own, one is the Inverse Field that just straight reverses the chart.

I'd say combining Ground and Rock into one single "Earth" type, but that would count as more than one change IMO considering how many other types would be affected by a lost weakness or resistance. So for one single change, I'll go with Poison being super effective against Water. Makes sense and would balance out 2 types that really need it.

How do you square whether Earth is super effective or not very effective against Flying?

Because if it's gonna result in Charizard losing that x4 weakness then fuck it I am in.

Flying and levitate aren't immune to ground just earthquake and similar moves.

Other changes that could be cool
Giving some pokemon two of the same type giving them extra stab/weakness/resistance
Making it so that secondary typings have half the effect of primary types
Giving some pokemon a third type

Yeah, Steel used to resist Ghost and Dark, then in Gen 7 it got nerfed to neutral.

According to a video I watched about the idea of a combined Earth type...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epgaiKrAM48

...Flying would be immune to the new Earth type. However, Smack Down would be changed to a move that can specifically hit (and ground) Flying-types, like a weaker version of Zygarde's Thousand Arrows, and Flying-types would still take damage from Stealth Rock, but as if they resisted it rather than were weak to it. So yeah, a huge buff for Flying-types, especially ones that were 4x weak to Rock before like Charizard or Articuno.

This might be cheating as it's kind of two changes but screw it I'm doing it.

I like the idea of water being weak to poison. Water currently has two weaknesses, fire three, and grass 5. So I'm moving the poison weakness from grass over to water to make the three closer together.
