Attacking typeDefending TypeDamage modifierExplanation (mostly balance reasons)
DarkSteel1already a thing since gen 6
GhostSteel1already a thing since gen 6
PsychicSteel1mainly to nerf steels defense; other supernatural, force like types (dark, ghost) are already not resisted by steel
GrassSteel1steel is too strong defensively; grass too weak offensively and all the nature types (water, fire, electric) are already not resisted by steel
BugGhost1ghost is already a strong type and becomes even stronger with neutrality towards steel; bug is lackluster offensively
DragonIce0,5ice only resists itself and arguably the weakest defensive type; dragon should be slightly nerfed
DragonNormal2normal is a pretty lame typing (offensively and defensively); dragon is only super effective against itself and normal beings are no match for dragons
PoisonDragon2nerfing dragon type; poison is only super effective against grass and poisoning a dragon seems to be a good strategy against dragons
NormalDark2making normal type more exciting; darkness cannot corrupt a kind soul (most normal types seem to be friendly); dark is already a good typing and buffed with neutrality towards steel
DarkNormal0,5making normal type more exciting; darkness cannot corrupt a kind soul (most normal types seem to be friendly); dark is already a good typing and buffed with neutrality towards steel
