    They SHOULD be weak to Ice, Electric AND Poison. That last one especially cuz even a smaller dosage of poison kills bugs easily. Also Water, cuz insects breathe through their skin and get dragged in water unable to escape due to water tension

        Idk. I like the idea of Bug Types being weak to like 10 different Types but making up for it and still being useful cuz they have some highly valuable innate quality no one else has

          immune to damaging hazards because they're small enough to fit between the rocks/spikes. as a tradeoff they take -2 speed from Sticky Web.

    Theoretically, everything should be weak to Electric and Fire.

        what about normal type would make it more weak to electricity and fire than any other type?

        Show me a pokemon that could survive this.

            It does more damage than a punch, a tidal wave, or any normal attack. That's what supereffective means to me.

          Suns eventually give out. Cold is the natural resting state of the universe and always wins in the end.

      Normal-types being weak to these would have fixed Gen 1 and 2 competitive.

      Why would ground, rock or steel be weak to electric?

    Water should be weak to Ice, not resist it. Ice freezes Water.
    Steel should be weak to Water. Water rusts Steel.

    Bug shouldn't be a type, it isn't an element. The weakness chart doesn't make any because it's all arbitrary and only loosely makes some amount of logical sense some of the time
    The typing system in general should be redesigned to consist of two strata of classification, "Elemental" types (Fire, Water, Electric, etc.) and "Phenotype" (Bug, Flying, Dragon, etc.), the difference between what powers a pokemon has and what it's actual place in the natural world is

        Not sure if Pokemon itself should be reworked, but if I was making a new monster-catching RPG I'd do something like this:

        Attacking types
        >fire
        >water
        >ice
        >thunder
        >cursed
        >holy

        Defensive types
        >flame
        >aquatic
        >cold
        >machine
        >mineral
        >plant
        >mammal
        >insect
        >reptile
        >flying
        >armored
        >undead
        >fairy
