>ground is super effective against steel >steel is FOUND

>>30949479
ive never payed attention to this why the fuck is steel weak to ground that makes absolutely no fucking sense whatsoever

>>30949479
Erosion of buildings

I think I've rationalized it over the years as "steel folds under the force of an earthquake"

>>30949479
Steel-steel or just metal in general?

You ever get sand in some kind of machinery OP? Because it breaks everything and it's a fucking bitch to remove.

>>30949479
steel comes from earth steel will return to earth

what confuses the fuck out of me is why steel isnt weak to water

>>30949479
>Steel found and formed in the earth's mantle

Wut

>>30949671
>why steel isnt weak to water
??

Or ice not resisting poison

Buildings are mostly steel frames and earthquakes can fuck that up?

>>30949793
You know...rust

>Steel immune to Poison
????

Because steel needed more weeknesses. Most type things that dont make sense can be boiled down to game design.

>You know...rust
Galvanization helps steel an iron to prevent from rusting. I guess that would be the logical reason.

>>30949854
then why does Fire resist Fairy

>>30949479
that's the reason
steel is related to earth but ground types control earth so ground types domain steel types

>>30949827
because only organic beings can be poisoned and steel types aren't organic

>>30949912
Because fuck you that's why.

I always visualized it as earthquakes knocking over buildings, but I suppose its just there to nerf steel a little. EQ is pretty common.

>>30949479
Steel-types are generally heavy. Heavy stuff sinks into the ground.

>>30949912
Because GF wanted to pretend Fairy had relevant resists besides Steel.

I always rationalized it the same way I do Ground>Rock. Sturdy things are useless if they have nothing to stand on.
