why aren’t there poison types: (p) = psychic

Why aren’t there ghost types: ghost = psychic & dark

Why there are dark types: no idea

Why aren’t there ice types: ice = water

Why poison types are dark types (In the TCG): no reason

Why aren’t there bug types: because it’s more of a look than a type

Why aren’t there fairy types: fairy = psychic

What the difference between fighting types and normal types: unknown for decades

    Grass=Grass and Bug

    Fire=Fire

    Water=Water and Ice

    Electric=Electric

    Fighting-Fighting, Rock, and Ground

    Psychic=Psychic, Ghost, and Fairy (Fairy used to have its own category though…)

    Dark=Dark and Poison (Used to be only Dark and Poison was in Psychic but they changed that…)

    Dragon=Dragon

    Steel=Steel

    Colorless=Normal and Flying

    It is for simplicity but I hate it
