If you could change one type matchup on the chart, what would it be?

Let’s mess with the meta. If you had the power to tweak just one type interaction (make Ice resist something, maybe?), what would you change - and how would it shake things up?

    I would make steel weak to electric attacks, because just like water, metal is usually known to be well conductive to electricity. With no competitive or balance intention.

    Ditch Grass's weakness to Bug. Grass had way too many weaknesses!

    maybe some change where rock and ground aren't weak to two same types. But it does make sense I guess unless ground is split into two.

    I would probably change dark being super effective on ghost and make it super effective on electric since electric needs another weakness since it’s only week to ground and dark and ghost have the same offensive super effective matchups and there needs to be to differentiate choosing one move over the other depending on the situation

    What logic is there in dark being good against electric, though?

    Power outages???

    darkness is the absence of light and electricity creates light and dark being strong against electric is like flipping a light switch off

    My feelings are that Water needs to be brought down a peg or two and I'd make Ice Super Effective on it. I mean Freeze Dry move is OP for that reason alone because it makes Ice x4 against Water/Ground(Swampert being the most notable), Water/Grass(Ludicolo or Ogerpon), Water/Flying(Gyarados being the big one) and Water/Dragon(Palkia, Walking Wake or Tatsugiri anyone?). The Freeze Dry move specifically would be buffed to deal 25% more Damage to Water Types, hence an effective x5, making it downright deadly to Water Types with a secondary weakness. I'd also add a Water Resistance to Ice because it's frozen water… why should it take neutral damage from it when Water resists itself?

    I would make bug type immune to dragon type cause it would be funny.

    Why is Water resistant to Ice??? I don't understand it at all. Ice would freeze Water. Ice should BEAT Water!

    Downside: that would mean my Tatsugiri would be VERY vulnerable to Ice.
