Dark-types have a sinister mind and the sinister things they are thinking afraid the Psychic-types.

>Water beats Fire
I can't understand this one

maybe flying types smoke a ton of marywanna LOL

Lightning also won't strike anything that isn't grounded.

Flying over fighting, cause it's fucking hard to punch a bird.

>Fairy beats Fighting
Big, hulking, manly guys who don't believe in fairies cannot handle the truth

I know you're trolling, but I like how Psychic is viewed as the mind. Dark types are imune to psychic due to Dark types having no conscience, as in no feelings of regret.

Psychic's weaknesses are also based on common fears (the dark, bugs and death) which is also neato.

The introduction of Fairy really fucked this guy over.

I never really understood how grass is strong against water. Its probably because plants need water to live.

Why does Water beat Rock?

>Ground beats Steel
Do you remember what happened to one of the nuclear plants on Japan back in 2011?

>Grass beats Rock
Paper beats Rock

>Dark neutral to Steel
Dark-type discovered a weak point or a way to surpass Steel-type defenses. Also Aegislash.

Grass beats rock because roots of trees can go through stone
