What's the most esoteric justification you've heard (or made) in typing justification? Be it for the weakness and resistances, typing of Pokemon or Moves, I want to hear it.

I once made a theory involving the ancient definition of the Japanese word for bug, mushi, where it referred to a type of spirit creature, as a way to explain Bug's interactions with Psychic, Dark, and Fairy. It's probably too obscure a reference for Gamefreak to have actually used though.

Psychic is weak against Dark because they fear darkness.

Wouldn't it be Ultra effective then?
Also don't forget Flying and Ghost types

Psychic being weak against dark/bug/ghost due to those being basic fears and fear disrupting the mind is a common typing justification I've heard from quite a few people. How is that esoteric?
